My family threw me a surprise party for my 27th birthday at Palmeras, and we had the BEST time! š„³
Palmeras is such a fun place for all agesāa perfect mix of great food, games, and unforgettable memories.
One of the things I enjoyed most was watching my whole family having a blast playing every single gameāwe seriously had so much fun!
The staff went above and beyond to make sure every guest had a great experience. They even handled the decorations (Happy Bday balloons!) for free, which made everything so easy. And one of the coolest touches? They gave us a free bowling pin for everyone to signāa super fun keepsake to take home.
I 100% recommend Palmeras for any event, big or small. Their party packages include everythingābowling, unlimited food and soft drinks, 7D cinema, VR ticketsāso all you really have to do is book it and show up. The only extra would be arcade cards, and they are totally worth it.
Thank you, Palmeras, for making my 27th birthday so special! šš“š
We hosted my sonās birthday party at Palmeras Entertainment and it was absolutely incredible. From start to finish, the staff was professional, organized, and truly helpful. The space is clean, modern, and full of energy. The kids had so much fun in the arcade and on the bowling lanes, and the 7D theater was a favorite for both kids and adults.
Everything ran smoothly. The team helped with setup, stayed on top of the schedule, and made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. The sports simulator was such a unique feature and kept everyone entertained.
Palmeras is one of the best venues in New Jersey for a kidās birthday party. Itās fun, safe, and offers something for all ages. My son had an amazing time, and all the parents were impressed. Highly recommend for any celebration.
Called Friday and spoke to someone and said they were open. Came at 8:30pm, no cars and facility was closed. Dont go hereā¦
I held an event for an organization I work for in the VIP room. The staff are easy to work with, communicated well and there was a lot that was offered for the money that we paid. The staff on site at the event were very helpful and no lie the pizza was surprisingly wonderful! Thin crust and and perfect amount of cheese. Everyone enjoyed the bowling and games too. I would absolutely do another event there. Highly recommend!
Wow š I stumbled across this gem trying to find something to do with 3 teen boys! I must say definitely money well spent. The hospitality is amazing! Thank you, Steve & Stephanie.
Ok, let get into it! This is a new bowling alley and gaming event space. Yes! It's an event space! You can have weddings here, birthday parties etc. It's not your everyday bowling Alley . It's geared for small and large groups. So yes, it's pricey, but I think it's worth it. It was 4 of us, and I spent $361 that includes tip for 5 ppl. It comes with a large pie pizza , a sampler platter with chicken fingers, fries , mozzarella sticks, and sauces along with it. 2 refillable softdrink pitchers, an hour of bowling (we did 2 games) with shoe rental, and it included tickets to the VR game and a 7D cinema that was awesome. It moves, has fans for the adventures, the seats put pressure on ur back and butt during certain scenes, and it mists you with water when there is water involved. Very cool feature.
The Arcade has alot of cool games, the basketball hoop game is high enough to shoot 3 pointers. I loved that. The bathrooms are clean, spacious, and a bathroom on each floor.
Top floor for events, main floor, and basement for the fun activities. This place is wheel chair accessible. So if I had 5ppl, it comes out to about $24 pp/hr. I was there for 3 hrs. To me, it's worth it.
This place does not have a LQ license, which sucks but they do have ways for private event to have LQ. It's NOT BYOB. Overall the boys had a good time. Didn't expect to spend $361, but im glad I did šš
My expertise in restaurant management: The pizza pie for 5 ppl is a good size. However, the platter is only enough for 3 to 4 ppI understand pizza compensates if you dont fill up on the platter. But if someone in the group doesn't eat cheese, or allergic to tomatoes, pizza is out for them, so they have only the platter left that must be shared with 4 other ppl. The platters should be enough for a group of five with the price. Food cost on fries, tenders, and mozzarella sticks is low when breaking a box of each portion wise. It won't hurt with the cost to give more tenders (10) u would expect ppl to eat 2 tenders each, (10) mozzarella sticks . and at least more than 1 serving of fries, which could feed 1 to 2 ppl. The packages are expensive, give a little more food. The food was good, by the way.
We are paying for the hour of bowling really, that's the only thing on a time limit. So complimentary game cards with more than 10 credit would be good. Ur not losing anything because they can play as long as they want. 10 credit in ur establishment is 5 games. U guys have about 25+ games in there. YYourrates are Six flags great adventures rates... u do get more than an hour there. I'm just saying that with ur packages, give more where it won't hurt in a way that will work for ur business. You sell packages. It's not a pay as u play š¤·š¾āāļø
Despite reviews, understand that it's not JUST a bowling alley it is an experience. Even though I was a walk in, and willing to pay the price some may not be, but when your ready to afford this experience I highly recommend, and coming with a group so u can split it. But you're still paying $50 bucks pp. Remember, it's NEW still less than a year.
We had the most amazing experience at Palmeras !!!
my sonās birthday exceeded all our expectations! From the very first contact to the planning with the event coordinators, the check-in at the front desk, and the entire celebration, everything was seamless. We had an absolute blast! I couldnāt recommend this place more for a birthday or any kind of special event. I also had a chance to see the second floor itās stunning and perfect for larger gatherings. Weāre definitely considering it for our 50th wedding anniversary!
Thank you to the entire Palmeras team !! you guys are the best!
Extremely unprofessional experience ā I would not recommend trusting this company with a childās special event.
Palmeras Entertainment initially reached out to me to offer a birthday party experience for my 6-year-old daughter. While they did send over materials and initial next steps, there was no clear or professional follow-up system in place for such a time-sensitive collaboration. Instead of checking in or having a quick conversation to align, they abruptly canceled the event just days before my daughterās birthday.
As a mom, this was heartbreaking. We had families prepared to attend, and my daughter was excited for an experience that was suddenly pulled away with no real effort to reconnect or problem-solve.
When I attempted to speak to someone about the cancellation, I was met with coldness and deflection. The response centered around blame rather than collaboration or empathy ā despite the fact that they had initiated this opportunity with me in the first place.
This left my daughter without the party she was so excited for, parents confused, and me scrambling to make last-minute changes during what should have been a joyful, memorable week.
I rarely leave reviews like this, but this experience was hurtful, avoidable, and completely mishandled. A professional event company should never treat a childās celebration with such disregard. Please be cautious if youāre considering working with them. We were left with disappointment, frustration, and a lot of explaining to do to a 6-year-old.
We celebrated our daughter's 27th birthday at this place and it truly exceeded all of our expectations!!! The bowling, the arcades, the theater, and the virtual reality experience were activities that we thoroughly enjoyed šš We give a 10 for the cleanliness and layout of the place... the food was delicious and the staff was excellent... I TOTALLY RECOMMEND IT IF YOU WANT AN UNFORGETTABLE PARTY!!!
