Staff was really nice and helpful. We bowled and played arcade games. It was a lot of fun. Bring your mask. Also some of the arcade games are shut down for social distancing.

Fun place, accommodating for out of towners who were unaware of reservation requirements. Lots of fun things to do. Clean, well lit bathrooms.

This place was indeed perfect for meeting my co-workers and enjoying some apps and a friendly game of bowling. Even novice bowlers like us were entertained by the cartoon bowling pins after each game. Good apps, but kinda pricey. The nachos were excellent and our fried pickles just right-- after the management replaced our first overcooked ones.

Little pricey, though the staff is very friendly and bowling is top notch with great tasting food to accompany it.

Wide variety of league play. Bowling, arcade, laser tag, mini golf, bar, patio. Fun for all family members and bowling skill levels.

This visit to perfect games was me, my wife, and my one year old. We only played 1 game, but it was fun. Children under 2 are free so it was about $12. They had a ramp for my son to use and he really enjoyed pushing the ball down it. Great place for family fun. Things that they have that we didnt do... pizza (its nothing amazing, but its not bad) and apps, a limited drink selection, laser tag, and an arcade. If I remember right the arcade is a little weird. You get a card that you load money on (not the weird part). The games dont cost $0.25, $0.50, $0.75, etc... its like $0.87... huh? Whats the point? If I have $0.24 that I cant use or $0.00 left in my card... they already have my money and it doesnt cost anything extra to power the machines since theyre always on. Change the costs to quarter, dime, or nickel increments so I can actually spend all of my credits at your establishment.

Only issue we had, while bringing our oldest and youngest children, was while playing mini golf. We found the entire course to be littered with cans of alcohol!

If you enjoy games, and bowling this is a good place to visit. The games are well maintained and its always very clean.You could easily spend several hours here without realizing it.They have some food and drinks available. The burger I had was full-flavored and not at all greasy, as I feared it would be.

Fun times for almost all ages. From bowling to video games, food to laser tag... always an adventure. Good bowling prices, check the days/time before you go. Service is cool. Machines occasionally have issues but staff is always helpful.

Had not been here for awhile and they had advertised a tenderloin sandwich. Had to try it. Not exceptional but good just the same. Was fairly thick, good breading and crispy on the outside.Their pizza is good too.

I love this place. My kids beg for it. We drive 70 miles one way to go there. Specifically for this place. Clean. Fun. Great value. Dont waste time or treasure on pizza. Its horrible.

Lots to do for young and old-er. Great after 9pm specials. Happy hour specials on drinks and appetizers. Lazer tag costs $5/7 minutes. Really noisy environment, dont plan to have an insider voice conversation here.

Review №27

My kids love going here. It can get expensive real fast playing video games, but they do have specials, half price on Sunday and if you watch the paper they will have different coupons. The daily specials seem to target college kids because they are later at night. It is in a college town. They have many bowling lanes and have a wide range of people with different skill levels that come here to bowl. The employees have all been kind and pretty calm even when it is extremely busy.

First time going here recently with friends. Great atmosphere. Server was more focused on other tables.

The pizzas are way overpriced for the taste and quality of the pizzas. We had a large group so we ordered a lot of pizza and everyone was disappointed in the taste and quality of the pizzas. The toppings were diced thinly and small Im guessing to save on costs of ingredients. If thats the case, then they shouldnt charge as much for the pizza. In the past, the pizza quality was much better. Our large group will try to find another location next time for our gatherings.

Food is awful, staff is unhelpful. Games often broken. Some are actually dangerous for kids. Advertised prices area not correct. The kids will enjoy it. Lanes arent horrible, but they didnt have enough kids balls at our last party. If there were anything else in Ames at all, this place would be closed in a week.

This place is great. They have fun games and lots of activities. The prizes for the arcade could be better but it is still fun. Most of the games cost between 50¢ and $1. The bowling allies always seem to have people. The staff behind the counter seem to enjoy their jobs and are willing to help.

My daughter and her friends nowl there enery Monday afternoon. They love the bowling, the games, food is really good and the people are nice. The bus stops close to there for anyone needing a ride, so it is convenient. In the evening they have Biwling Leagues which I was on at one time. Bowling, hanging out with friends and having fun.

Review №53

Nice place, simple menu, variety of drinks for adults and kiddos. Has both adult side and kid/family side for bowling, what I like about that is they are split by the game room. That way the bar is also on the opposite side with the adult bowling area.

Review №54

We brought our 3 year old grandson there on a busy saturday night. There was an hour wait for a bowling lane, that was ok because we played video games and the many little kid type games they have. The set up is like an expanded Showbiz Pizza type place with bowling imo. The food was mostly pizza and fryer food, and kinda greasy, but thats to be expected. The lanes have optional gutter covers and they have kid/handicap ramps so anyone can bowl. Thay also have a playland for little kids with seating nearby to watch your kids. I would go again.

Good bowling Lanes and decent arcade. Preloadable cards for all the games make it a fun place to go for parties or just hanging out with friends. The place is very family friendly during the day, but I have personally seen a lot of drunk people and inappropriate videos being played on the screens past ~10pm so keep that in mind.

Kids had fun bowling and server was great. I sat at high table to watch BB while they did laser tag. Waiter asked if I wanted a drink. I told him yes and what I wanted and he never showed up with it. He passed by several times and acted like he had never asked and I hadnt answered...

Great place for a family outing or birthday party! The $50 pizza & bowling package is perfect; 2 hours of bowling, shoe rental, large pizza, pitcher of an na beverage & arcade cards...thats right up my alley!

Big arcade with big bowling alley. Oh and they have laser tag too. Pretty sweet collection of arcade games. Only thing is, every time I fill my card up with money it seems like the worker just really doesnt want to be working. Great place though.

Had a blast! We get to go once a year with wounded warrior project and they are so awesome to us! We get to bowl, play laser tag, and play games until our hearts are content! The staff is always quick and super friendly. Totally worth the 45 minute drive. Always super clean as well.

Perfect Games has everything you could want to keep the kids and adults busy. They have bowling, games, pool, laser tag, and lots of food and alcohol. Prices are steep and they have no real good coupons and their cheap days are more regular people price day. Expect to spend $20 a head here.Other than that its a great place for kids in the winter.

There can be a long wait for laser tag. So sign in before playing in the arcade. Went to the sports bar for food and drinks sitting at a high table. Not a single waitress stopped to take our order. We had to go to the bar to get service. The bartender also brought our food out to us. The boys did have fun in the arcade area and laser tag.

Review №83

Food is terrible, owners need to be on bar rescue. Beer was good. I would have gave 1 star if Milk Man Stout hadnt been so delicious. Nachos are cheaply made, meat appears frozen and out of date, olives were dried out, its a wonder I didnt get sick. Cheese bread was served with cold marinara. And the worst part, salsa is likely store bought and placed in a Dixie cup! Come on!

Great place to spend a Sunday afternoon! Sundays are also half price arcade games so it was an even better value. Not very packed either but we were there early. Def reccomend.

Review №85

Hit or miss. Sometimes the pizza is great sometimes its deformed. Sometimes the fried pickles are amazing sometimes they are burnt.Sometimes you can get a drink in 5 minutes, sometimes it takes a half an hour. Sometimes its super busy, sometimes its not.. Today was one of those not hitting on all cylinders kind of days.
