Great place to have fun with the family! They were very clean and kept everything sanitized. Had a lot of people there and everyone seemed reasonably spaced apart. Look forward to going again.

Bowling was... bowling. Loved the cute animated and very positive cartoons on the score screen.But let’s talk about the soft pretzels... dude, these are the best. For real. And the ever so slightly habanero cheese dip is a perfect compliment.Great customer service, very clean, kids had a ton of fun.Social distancing was in place; masks were required. No big deal for my family; but apparently some of the other families couldn’t read. A little worried about the Oklahoma educational system....But I digress.Great place for bowling!

My brother in law owns this lot. Its very well kept up, not crowded and requires facemasks. Everyone is very friendly and ready to help any time.

This is a wonderful place to enjoy some bowling fun! The employees are really nice, and the place is spotless. Took me a minute to figure out how to input names, as its more obvious at other bowling alleys Ive been to, but everything was smooth sailing once I figured it out. I loved all the various graphics on the screen; they made me laugh! My hubby and I both really enjoyed our first time bowling here, and well definitely return!

So right out of the gate, we were greeted by the workers. They joked around with my wife and I in passing about how she was destroying me or taking it easy on me :) its sad to see such an awesome place so empty. However I will be back and with more family and friends in the future!

Went with my kids daycare on a field trip and it was so awesome, they were very accommodating and made the process so easy for the adults as well as a great experience for the kids! My kids 1st time bowling they loved it. They even have ramps for small kids to help them get the ball down the lane.

This is an amazing place to bowl in Norman! The staff is amazing! Our lane would mess up because of a kid or something and they would rush over and fix it with no issues, not even a bad face. The prices are amazing and the food is really good. The common area and bathrooms are so clean and taken care of. Great job guys!!

The worst lanes I ever have bowled on and I have been for 65 years. Bowling shoes provided by Sooner should be replaced they have holes in many of them.

Lane 6 had difficulty returning the balls. The bumper rails inadvertantly suddenly came up. After some time the guy moved us to a different lane.

They have the ability to distance peoples lanes during this pandemic more but they don’t. I felt very uncomfortable.

Small alley but staff was courteous, place was clean. Cant complain overall.

Review №26

The lanes are great and theres a really good atmosphere, especially during the cosmic bowling. The prices for bowling and shoes is very reasonable.We ordered some food and drinks and the food was alright and the prices were good. It was pretty much what I would expect at a bowling alley. The reason for only 4 stars is because the bathroom was not clean and smelled pretty bad. Other than that its a great, fun place.

My family and I love bowling...we arrived on a league night and the staff was gracious enough to give us free passes to come back since they were full. When we came back we had fun and they were very friendly and helpful...even after my kid threw a ball into another lane! Thank you Sooner Bowling for a great afternoon with my children! We will return!

I really enjoy the lanes here. I started coming here since the Moore location was taken by the tornado! The oil pattern is relatively consistent, and they have pretty good food and beer selection. The reason I rate it a 4 is because they don’t serve alcohol like moore did which added a good time for those that drink. Staff is very friendly!

Little expensive but still the cheapest bowling in town, seems really clean

Our family has ill baby and has not done any birthday parties in 3 years. So what better way to get back in the groove than having the experts of loving on the parent people at sooner bowling! I was able to drop everything off not the day of the party, but days before the party, they decorated and cared for all of my guess as if it were me and myself doing it. I am in love. The best part was the cost, it was ridiculously perfect.

Family-friendly place, the last two times Ive been here they have had no pool chalk.

Ha
Review №34

Im being generous with 2 stars, because after three separate attempts to bowl here, we have never been able to even get a lane. I guess league night here takes all lanes, second time we were told there was an event, third time school competition and then another event. I will adjust the review if we ever actually make it past the counter.

Review №36

It was fun to bowl. However the food and drinks were pricy. It was 2.00 dollars plus tax for a refill on my drink. And, the food was mediocre. As far as bowling, its good but I would eat somewhere else first.

My wife booked my sons 4th birthday party here and they were amazing. I walked in thinking I’d have to go remind someone about it but Eva greeted me and showed us our lanes and table right away. They were so helpful distributing cake and even lighting the candles. Very professional and I would recommend party’s here if all ages. 5 stars!!!

Review №48

There was tried bubble gum in the bowlers area on our set of lanes and on just about every set of lanes in the house. Bowling cost $5.00 per game or $25.00 per lane per hour. We went with the per hour price, but our lane kept breaking down so we didnt get in much bowling for our money. Also, the lane surface was about 1/4 of an inch higher than the approach surface. Im not sure how these lanes get certified like that. I recommend going to just about any other place to bowl before going here.

Review №49

Two friends and I went here about two months ago. Was told it was going to be a fifteen minute wait which was fine. thirty minutes later after they let three groups go ahead of us. We went back up to the counter to ask how much longer it was going to be. The man behind the counter, who appeared to be a supervisor saw us, and made eye contact with us, and then went to the back corner, and began to ignore us.After five minutes went by we left.We went next door to the escape rooms. They were much nicer, and did not ignore us.

Its an amazing place to go bowling at but if your there for pool and want to play some arcade games as well its not that great. Half the time the machine were you buy a card so you can actually play pool or any arcade games doesnt work, and sense its not there machine they cant do anything about. If you do manage to get a card though. A lot of times the arcade machines dont even work and are out of order for months.

Review №62

As bowling goes its pretty good, besides the ball return likes to throw your ball out quickly. The food is surprisingly good like most bowling alleys. There are plenty of lanes but it usually stays pretty busy.

Sk
Review №63

It was clean and pleasant while we were there, but there were lots of problems with the lanes keeping score. We were there with kids (age 2 to 6) and grandparents, so scoring isnt critical. It did throw off our little ones when someone had to take three turns because the lane bugged out and needed to reset. Most disappointing was not counting the strike that our 4 year old got. We saw it and cheered, but couldnt capture it with a picture of the scoreboard because the lane bugged out and lost the record.Maybe others dont have this problem, but our lane was bad that day with these and other problems.

My friends and I paid for an hour of bowling. About 10 minutes in we got a call that my son was running a fever and we needed to pick him up. The bowling alley refunded us the entire amount we paid. The staff was all super friendly as well! Definitely recommend

We had the best time at this bowling alley. We have a 4 year old and a 13 year old that came with us. We all had so much fun with Saturday night cosmic bowling! We highly recommend this bowling alley. The staff was really nice, it was clean, and the people bowling next to us were friendly!

Seem to have a few leagues that play at this location. The price is fair if the lanes and balls were in better shape. Im no pro but Im not blind either. Lanes look warped, balls look like they were picked up from the beaches of Normandy. The food we ordered was good and not too pricey. Staff was friendly but guy cleaning the lanes crossed us several times during our game.

Stupid place. I had a party of 4 and we went at about 10:35 pm to bowl and we were turned away because they said they were closing in 15 minutes. Even though the sign said they were open until 12 am. She said they were closing because they only had one lane open. And when I asked why they couldn’t open another so we could bowl for an hour and half she said that they couldn’t because it was too late. Also she was very rude about it. Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Don’t bowl here.

Very bad. Very little to no oil on lanes. My own bowling ball got chipped on the first frame, staff didnt know what to do about it (not even pro shop). Food is decent. More of a fun center than a bowling alley.
