Fun place for Bowling, Lazer tag or Roller Skating for the family. Offers party reservations too.
Food is passable but far from great. Go for the games and eat before or after if you can.
Just had my 9yo's birthday. This was a high quality birthday party for a very affordable price. Angel, our Party Coordinator, was particularly awesome. She was thorough, detailed, and flexible with our schedule at the party. The 12 kids had a blast!
This bowling alley has several things for the family to do in addition to bowling. They have several different games that you get tickets for playing. You can turn those tickets in for prizes. They also have lazer tag. There are pop and snack vending machines. They also have a bar and grill inside where you can get a variety of food and drinks. Their food is pretty good. The bowling lanes have bumpers and a (not sure what is called) thing that looks like a kid's slide, for kids to use so their ball gets a little momentum. They have several different weights of balls. The bowling shoes seemed new, not like the really worn shoes I've seen at some bowling alleys. The staff was friendly. The restrooms were clean. They have a free private parking lot. It's really a fun family friendly place!
It was our first time there. Staff were nice. Place was clean. Food was great. We will definitely be back!
Fun place! Just small.
Laser Tag- 6 out of 10 - single level with very boring structures. The long intro video that is mandatory before matches is unnecessary. Half the guns didn't have sound or worked properly, which was a turn off for my kids. But hey, it's laser tag- so automatically gets bumped to a 5/10 on the rating.
Bumper cars- 7 out of ten - we went on a Thursday so it was pretty empty and the staff allowed us to bump until we were visually done. So that was a plus. The size of the arena was pretty small. It was good for 4 of us, but anymore than that, we would have been overcrowded. The machines worked flawlessly for what it was. Minus the size this was a big hit.
Roller rink- 9 out of ten - standard roller rink. Music was the right level to enjoy and not have to scream over.
Bowling- 10 out 10 - Tons of space to sprawl out.
Arcade- 6 out of ten - filler for the remaining attractions
All in all- pleasurable experience- just small.
Although the lane we were first on wasn't gelreat the staff was great moved us and gave us back the time
We just left Strike &Spare after being there for 2 hours… absolutely the worst experience I’ve ever had at this place…. We paid about $96 dollars and we got 3 wristbands bands and paid for bowling. We bowled for a bit which was fine, everyone was sent downstairs , we were told they didn’t have enough people for Maintaince to let us play upstairs …. Then once done playing we decide to go upstairs to play games. They told us we couldn’t do the laser tag because there was not a manager there. We had to continuously as someone for us to play Time Freak and not all the buttons worked and we had to find someone to do bumper cars etc. The one worker told us they had to keep running over to skating to help there but there was someone already there and maybe two skaters as we could tell they just were taking the whole time. A HUGE let down to any experience we have had there and literally wasted money because we couldn’t even do any of the things that are included with the wrist bands …. We didn’t even get to use our extra bowling we paid for….
Just fun
Great time with family. My niece got her ball stuck and an employee Miguel was really great. Got her ball, fell on the slick alley (on purpose) to make her laugh and gave her a free small drink to cheer her up. Young man, awesome attitude.
Lanes care excellent. Staff was friendly. Facility was very clean.

We go probably 5 or 6 times a year. We love it. This time around, we ordered food there and actually sat and had lunch before leaving. Staff was great, they always are. Food was better than I expected but my burger was really greasy. We'll be back soon.
Spent $60 to bowl one game, lane 35 sometimes picked up the right pins, took forever to rerack, sometimes gave me a strike for a gutter ball and sometimes a gutter when I hit 6 pins. Eventually the pins stopped being reracked, I asked the teenagers at the front and they took 25 min to fix the problem and didn’t add our time back.
Lanes are expensive. 50 dollars for 4 people. Three of which were children for one game.
Lanes constantly break down, workers are nice besides the teenagers who always act like the customers are less important than their phone. Prices were wild for a while but they finally lowered them to try and compete with other facilities. Bathrooms are usually dirty as well, and the couches and tables are broken and ripped. Wouldn't recommend going here compared to the nearby bowling alleys.
Very nice now with the upgrades, especially great for kids…
