I truly enjoyed myself and the place wasnt half bad. My only complaint is the machines kept messing up. You need to update your machines other then that it was great. Customer service was fantastic

The pit is functional and the bowling it decent but it is not very clean at all. I saw ants on the snack bar table. I don’t have much to say about the snack bar as after that incident I didn’t eat anything from it. The bathrooms were pretty gross too.

It was my grandsons 5th birthday, we got our lanes late, our pizzas were burnt, not enough correct size shoes for our party & no management on-site to address our concerns

Worst bowling experience ever! The place had no music, we asked for music and the lady said NO! They don’t have any bowling balls that are under 10 pounds! The lightest one I found was 12 pounds! Which is ridiculous. Gave it a 2 star because the place was clean.

We had a group of 4. Played 2 games in 1 hour and had a great time. Fast service. Lanes and equipment were good. I had a little trouble finding a ball that was not too heavy, but eventually did.

How do you run out of one of the most popular size shoes (13) when the alley is half full on a Saturday night for cosmic bowling?

Came here for a small work get together and we had a blast. The people in the alley (both customers and workers) were super friendly and social with us. We had a fun time and we played a couple of games and had a couple drinks at the bar too! I like the system they have for keeping track of the scores it is pretty fun.

So disappointed. $32.00 for 2 adults and one child to play a round of mini golf. Course is covered in graffiti. Ramps are broken. No place to put score cards. Downright eerie being back there unattended with no sounds or music or anything. They do not appear to serve food anymore. Their game room is just a bunch of non-games where you slide tokens around. Prize machine ate tickets without giving us credit for them. They need to give up and sell the place if theyre not going to maintain or staff it.

Went on a Sunday afternoon. It was dead but took a few minutes before we were helped. Did the indoor minigolf and it was awkwardly quiet. The walls are covered in tags. About 1/4 of the blacklights were burnt out and some of the obstacles for the ball didnt have anything glowing so my date and I tripped on more than one as we followed the ball. Poor experience.

Decent lanes, not usually a wait even on Friday nights. Not a great ball selection, so you usually have to go with a ball thats out of your comfort zone. Good specials, though you have to ask for them. If your group could get the same thing at a cheaper price, they wont actually tell you that. Theyll let you pay the higher price and youll notice later that a combo or special would have made it cheaper. Not great, not horrible, so I have it a 3 star rating.

Ripoff. 25 dollars for 2 games with my kid. Bumpers go up manually so if you ask for them, they stay up for the entire duration. Also, it was nice to stand there at the front desk while the employees chatted up their friends while watching us wait. Thats always fun. Awful place.

The bowling area is well kept, but the rest of the facility is rather shabby. I attended a party there, and the service was slow. The staff were nice, but there werent enough of them. The pizza is nothing special, but it is edible at least. Overall, a meh experience.

Review №33

The staff is nice and I loved the black light mini golf. Only complaint would be about other customers who were disrespectful. They left beer bottles and trash on the course and their kids would plow through the course without letting other groups of people go first. I thought its ok, theyre just kids, they dont know but then the parents were rude also. I might come back at a time where less people are there.

Review №37

This place was horrible the staff was unprofessional as well as kinda rude they didn’t have a consistent ball sizes so i had to spend 20mins of my hour that i paid 31 dollars for to look for a ball that i needed. The bar was unattended and the only accepted cash which was kind of an inconvenience because i only have card. Overall this wasn’t it chief.

Review №38

Bowling was great! But the service sucked. There was one man working the entire evening shift. We ordered pizza when we arrived he could not make it because large groups came in he had to assist. Coukd not get drinks at the bar because he coukd not assist again. Needed change for vending machines he ran out of money. Had to call managment to come in bring money and assist with patrons. We spent well over 100 bucks with my party. Was not worth it at all. Thumbs down!!!!

Do not come to this location – they are not accepting or willing to help facilitate people with disabilities! The staff at this location is not friendly and did not treat my disabled sister well.My sister had a very negative experience at this location and I am writing a review on her behalf. My sister has a disability (Down Syndrome) and when you meet her, you can clearly tell that she has a disability despite the fact that she is 23. Her friend took her to this location on October 20th for a fun afternoon of bowling and the staff refused to put up the bumpers saying that she was too old despite the fact that her friend explained that she has a disability. This was not a bowling competition – just a regular game with a friend.Her friend complained to the manager and still nothing was done so they were forced to bowl without bumpers and every ball my sister bowled went into the gutter. The staff was so rude about it that my sisters friend asked another friend to go in the following day and talk to the manager and the manager continued to insist that despite having a disability, they would not allow the bumpers to be put up.

The mini golf is overpriced and it isnt even fun. There was a wad of chewed gum by the putters,and he walls are wrtiiem all over. I looks like they put together to golf area in a day, and they put no effort in to making the course any fun. The bowling isnt as bad, but the mini golf ruined this place for me.

I love arrowhead lanes. I really appreciate the workers. I go bowling very often. I love that they love bowling as much as I do. I bought my bowling ball from arrowhead and I will return to buy again. I think that the building needs to be renovated, however. :)
