Great place for family or group bowling. Book online or by phone. Sometimes special price offers are available. Your lane is set up and scores for you. You have to wear their bowling shoes which are well used but clean. There is a reasonable priced bar and a shelf by the bowling lane for your drinks. Plenty of free parking.

Visited a handful of times now and always have a good time when here. We have had a few technical issues with the lanes on occasion but those are quickly fixed by the apologetic staff. Facilities are good overall.
