The bowling in my opinion was over priced. Just because its the weekend shouldnt be a reason not to allow per game pricing. The Laser tag was reasonably priced and the overall experience was fun.

My 1st time with our youth group from the Traditions Service, Ft. Hood. From the time we reserved it, the time we arrived, Service was good, the staff was very helpful, courteous and patient with us. Our folks enjoyed their time with you all. Thank you...

Not much going on, need more retro games, prices were way to high for what you get, if they had better comb deals it would be more fun.

Such a great place to take the family. The food bowling, arcade and lazer tag are amazing. You can spend the whole day there with your family and friends. You can also have birthday parties there which we have done a couple years ago for my daughter.

Love coming here for the specials on bowling Sunday and Monday nights. The videogames are alright if youre entertaining a younger crowd (under 10). The laser tag is fun if you can get a group going and the complex itself is two stories. The staff is always nice and they have plenty of security. The food is great and the drinks are very well priced. Have really never had anything negative to say about the place and Ive been here at least a dozen times. Id definitely recommend stepping down a size on bowling shoes though, as theyre all designed for really wide feet and make it uncomfortable at your normal size.

I love the energy and vibe here. Wait time when its busy for bowling is long especially now with the pandemic so you really have to reserve lane in advance. Its always supper fun in the arcade as well

Spare Time is my favorite place to go for fun. We mostly go for bowling, but they also have Lasertag matches and an arcade with prizes. If we can, we like to rent a bowling lane in the premium Pin House where the lighting is dark and theres a service window to the bar. For anyone new, I recommend renting shoes a size smaller than what you normally wear. This is definitely the best bowling alley in the area.

Great place for a family/friend bowling trip. Good drink and food options delivered to your lane.

Review №23

(We only did bowling) pricey but fun. Loved the bar inside and the fact that the pit is 21 and over after a certain time. We paid for an hour but it didnt feel like it. We barely got through one game of bowling with 4 people in the hour, which was $40 with the shoe rental. So it would most likely be better to do the per person per game price unless youve got more people than that. Overall, plan to go back just maybe not every weekend.

Review №28

Pricey, three people was $44. Offers more than a traditional bowling alley.Got to bowl and use the arcade. Everyone got a $10 worth of game play at the arcade. Also included laser tag. Was fun for the the others. Pricey for the food all but items are up near $10. Check the website all the prices are posted so you now what your wallet is in for. Nice clean place with plenty to offer the whole family.

First time visiting here. Had a lot of fun bowling and playing the arcades! I quickly realized how out of shape with laser tag, or maybe it was because of the alcohol I had at the bar. Hah! Definitely would return again should I come through the area.Crystal there is the best!

This is our favorite way to spend time with friends and family in Temple: Between bowling, laser tag, an awesome arcade, great food and friendly staff we always have a great time! Dont forget to check out their daily specials and packages before you go.

Great customer service and the food there is also very good. Games and bowling are fun and reasonable options to purchase. The establishment is kept very clean. We very much enjoy going there and will again.

Review №39

4-star food. Servers are very attentive and available. My biggest complaint is they do not have ramps for children to use to bowl. If I want to take my kids, I usually go elsewhere. Otherwise, its nice and clean and I would be very comfortable taking my kids.

We had so much fun here! The bowling was absolutely amazing, as well as the arcades. I would highly advise this for families. We went with our homeschool group and had a blast.

Review №42

I like spare time because theres a lot to do, I personally dont like the price for two people to bowl for an hour, its $40 where as I could go anywhere else and play for half that.. they do have a decent bar though, its a pretty cool spot to hangout. Id go a lot more often if the bowling was more reasonable.

This is one of our favorite hangouts! From the awesome bowling league to epic laser tag arena, everything is designed to ensure a fun experience every time we visit. The arcade has great classic games as well as new and exciting ones. The shop where you can earn ticket rewards is better than any other arcade, and its constantly restocked with cool items. Oh, and the food is so good! The bartenders, servers, and entire staff are super friendly, and every birthday party we have been to has been such a fun experience! I cannot say enough great things about Spare Time!

My husband and my I were there on Sunday, our bar tab was 69.00 and I left a 10.00 tip, I just checked our bank account and we were charged 118.00, almost 40.00 more than our bill, dont run a tab, they will rob you, it looks like another customer was overcharged 118.00 as well by the reviews on the same day, hoping this was just some type of error. This was a honest mistake they correced the issue made everything. Very happy

My kids and I always enjoy coming here. It’s not a cheap day but it is always a lot of fun. We usually bowl and each lunch and then play some games after. Birthday parties here are also a win ;).

Review №53

Our biennial family reunion chose SP in 2015 for our meet n greet location. We pre-ordered from the buffet menu; the food was delicious. The family friendly competition on the lanes was fun, the younger children took advantage of the arcade and we were simply treated with such hospitality that we chose to return in 2017. The plan is to return again in 2019. All the staff members that I dealt with were quite professional and helpful.

Review №54

This place is so great! Clean and family friendly, also lots for adults. I showed up with my sister-in-law tonight for some of our first kid free time in forever. We found out on Saturdays at 11 p.m. for $10 per person you can get your shoes and unlimited games for 2 hours! It was a fantastic deal. For $2 more per person we went into the adults only Lounge and bowled peacefully. It was totally worth it, totally comfy, and totally made our night!

We go to all the spare time locations and are all pretty exceptional. The games are fun and will keep the kids amused for a while and the bowling is pretty popular. We waited a long wait bit it was because we went on a Friday night. Overall great experience and lots of family fun.

This place is AWESOME! We had a large family, so I expected the service to be mediocre at best, but I was really wrong!!! It was nice to see the MGR working there floor with his staff. He was respectful, polite, and attentive. The staff was kind and very helpful. I enjoyed all the varieties of games. The Laser tag was two-story which I didnt expect! They have a bar, and the bar tender was knowledgeable of his drinks. The food was great(and that says a lot)!! Im looking forward to returning again and hopefully have another great experience. Id recommend this place to anyone thats willing to have some fun!

We went here to have fun with the family. A little on the pricey side but overall great! We bowled for 2hrs and ate some food. The food is delicious and great prices. The laser tag line is a bit long for what you pay to play but I would definitely recommend for family fun!

Review №65

I honestly just went in to have a look while it was a slow day. It is very clean and has a lot of things to do other than bowling. It has conference rooms where a company was actually hosting something for their employees while I was there and as they were leaving looked like they enjoyed their experience. They have a variety of food items available for purchase and the 2 employees I encountered were very friendly and outgoing. I cant remember names but the young man I met was new to the area from Virginia. I am fairly new to the area so it was nice being able to talk to another transplant and get ideas on what to do here. Will be bringing family here when they visit for sure

Review №81

Came here to take my family who is visiting from Cali bowling, (tonight theres a $10 bowling special) and when we got to the desk we were told we had a very long wait because someone reserved 10 lanes and another person reserved 7. Youd think they would have a limit of how many lanes you can reserve especially on a special night. Just annoying, we always have problems with super long wait times here.

Monday Night Madness is by far the best special for families with school age kids. The best bang for your buck. All you can Bowl, Laser tag and video games for $16 a person. It saves so much money since all three can be pricey if bought individually. Especially the games. They will give you a card that will give you free game play. (with exceptions). Food is always good. My kids enjoy the pizza but there are plenty of other options to choose from along with a full bar for the parents!!

It was the best and most smooth experience Ive had while giving a birthday party. Everyone had a great time, children and adults. Our host was the greatest, she was friendly and helpful.

Erica was one of the service members and there was also a young guy with glasses helping her. They were not friendly. Seemed to think of us as an inconvenience. They gave us 10 extra mins (that we didnt use) thats why Im giving an extra star. It was also July 4 when we went and I figured it would be a little more festive but nope.
