The only game in town when it comes to bowling, this place has been here forever and it has always been a great place to go bowling. Twin city lanes has tons of lanes and offers decent pricing for shoe rentals and lane rentals. They have an arcade game section on the left side of the building that offers a variety of games, indoor laser tag and food at there restaurant. The also offer birthday and special events and are able to accommodate up to 140 guest. The also cosmic bowling which takes place on Saturday nights with glow in the dark and laser lights and play music during this event.

Laser tag bowling and arcade games oh my laser tag bowling and arcade games oh my. Kays Corner had some pretty good food and the best dipping sauces in central Vermont. Bowling is fun if you dont take it too seriously which I usually do :-( I just need to lighten up and realize Im there to have fun not to win

Amazing time .what a great idea ...kids bowl free (2 gAmes a day) all summer. atmosphere was so uplifting and the music had my daughter doing more dancing than bowling. hahaha Ks corner is attached and has amazing food amd great wait staffwe were there w the kiddos...but if out on an adult date night bowling and beers would be a great evening.

The LanesIf you have been bowling anywhere else in the last 20-30 years you will realize this is an average establishment. The seating is uncomfortable and awkward for groups of people. The computerized scoring is outdated.Have you ever bowled any place in the Midwest such as Detroit or Southern Ohio? They know how to keep up on maintenance, add modern conveniences without sacrificing nostalgic charm while providing a quality experience.The FoodThis is where the establishment exceeds expectations. Friendly service and decent prices. Thank you.The MusicThe seldom play music here which is odd. When they do it is pop music and usually not loud enough to actually hear anything. Bit of a wasted opportunity.The GunsThe owner and/or manager has crated a gun-friendly environment. Less than a year ago some Neanderthal thought it wise to open-carry a pistol WHILE bowling. I understand the laws in VT around gun ownership and what is permissible...which is just about anything.I approached the manager on what was a busy evening and ask if they could, for the benefit of everyone else there is a birthday party dozens children bowling, politely ask the patron to disarm - put the gun away. They said they could not legally do that.Actually, you can if it is your establishment. You can ask a patron to not bowling while open-carry. You can ask any customer to remove themselves if they are perceived as a threat or liability. A civil conversation does not have to be adversarial but wise enough to know the difference between owners rights, owners responsibilities and everybody else in your establishments rights to enjoy an afternoon of gun-free fun.Closing...I bowl here frequently. Not many other options living in Central Vermont. Other than the gun related issues at this local, it is a great space. Two star because guns ruin even the best of times.Bowl on!Keep your guns at home.

Bowling, an arcade, and laser tag?! All in one building?! Conveniently placed right between Barre and Montpelier?! AND its reasonably priced?! Thats a pretty crazy deal in my book! A great place to bring the younger members of your family on a rainy day, or for a fun night out. I had a great time with my siblings here a few weeks ago - the staff were very nice and accommodating.

To premise this, bowling here is fun, laser tag awesome, food and drinks affordable and tasty. But the staff at the counter are rude as hellI hate leaving bad reviews at places but tonight tipped how I felt, tonight two staff members were up at the front and me and my friend were waiting to bowl, someone else was complaining about something and they were going on for about 5 minutes. I pipe up and say hey that doesnt bother us, Id love to bowl which the female working there replied in a nasty tone yeah Im busy right now youre gonna have to wait and preceeded to ignore us. On other occasions Ive asked if certain days were better to try to get a lane in the winter and its NEAR impossible. If someone opened another bowling ally in central VT they would for sure make some dough.I hate to say this because the owner seems nice, the food is good drinks are awesome but anytime other than summer its HARD to get a single lane, with hour wait times or more, and to top it off rude employees make this place low on my suggestions list when thinking of where to spend my money or time with my friends :/Ps. Womans bathroom was disgusting apparently so thats not so cool

Ks Corner at Twin City Fun Center is great place to get a good meal at a reasonable price and enjoy its relaxing friendly atmosphere with family and friends.The Fun Center also offers bowling and a nice game room, if youre looking for that kind of entertainment option.Plenty of parking.

Has some of the best food I have ever eaten at a bowling alley. Chicken parmesan, spicy lasagna, rolls, grasshopper pie, NY cheese cake, and chocolate brownies. The atmosphere is packed on holidays, full on weekends, and plays music from the 90s. The arcade is pretty good and the Extremely large screen space invaders game is pretty neat to play.

Im sure it would have been fun if we could have actually bowled. We tried to go for Cosmic Bowling. We could clearly see that there were several lanes open, but we were told by the rude kid behind the counter that they were all reserved. We went at 8:30pm and were told it was going to be at least a 2hr wait. No thanks. If you are going to do cosmic bowling, definitely call ahead and reserve lanes or else you most likely wont be able to bowl. We ended up spending our money elsewhere. Its a shame.

We had our company retreat at Twin City and it was AMAZING. We played laser tag and bowled for a better part of the day. Laser tag went over really well with the varied age range of our group, everyone played! The bar and food service was attentive and great as well. We will be going back!

This place is horrible the employees just straight out lie to you. You cant even get into the bowling alley in the winter they shut the place down for leage at 4:30. Family fun center is a lie ruined my 4 year olds bday party. Do not go here!!!

Clean, great space, my kids had a blast. I cannot see any reason that this would get less then 4 stars (unless of course you 1. Dont like bowling, video games, laser tag, or 2. Dont call ahead to make sure it is not league night. . . .

Drove 2 hours to get there because my kids really wanted to go on our family vacation. Got there. Kids were excited. Blonde girl with no personality, said can I help you? No open lanes. League night. As though we were an inconvenience to her precious time. Left & called the manager. He said she was right in what she said. Poor customer service! They knew we drove hours to get there. I work in a hospital, if I gave that I dont care attitude, lives would be lost and or I wouldnt have a job. See, it wasnt about me, it wasnt about you being right, it was about the customer...The kids. Could of been handled in a whole different way. Thanks for caring.

Laser tag is a blast! Ks corner is the restaurant/bar inside and is surprisingly delicious! Decent draft selection as well. Money disappears very quickly in the arcade (especially if kids are unsupervised) so if your looking to kill an afternoon make sure you come prepared $$$

Bowling lanes are fine. Counter people NOT friendly though. And the worst; it was raining the day we were bowling and The ROOF WAS LEAKING....AT THE ENTRANCE!! Not impressed. (and im not talking about a small leak...it was Dripping like crazy!) These guys need to get the roof fixed and provide a bit more courtesy when greeting customers and receiving payments. Unfortunately this is 1 of the only bowling centers in our area, so we are stuck with leaking roofs,etc,etc.

Anytime I try a new place for me I try their burgers.If they cant make a good burger they are not good.The burgers are great and they do fresh cut fries that are good.A great selection of pubfare food that has been vermontized. A good selection of draft beers st fair prices.The arcade machines are a bit pricey at a 1-1.50 per play but they are all new machines.There is a good amount of lanes, and Laser tag.Very clean with great staff.Good place to take your kids

This was an all Stop shop for Kids, Laser Tag was a lot of fun 10 minutes 350 per person, played arcade games for a while Bowled one game with 4 kids, and had lunch in Ks Korner. Plenty of parking but the service in the restaurant was a little slow especially with a lot of kids, but definitely worth the visit.
