All the new updates are amazing! New indoor go carts, a laser maze challenge, and new arcade games! The snack bar has a great variety to choose from, from hamburgers and hot dogs, to pizza and chicken quesadillas. $2 draft happy hour from 3-7 everyday. If you ever had a bad experience there before give them another try! New owners and staff making things so much better!

The entire staff was very professional, an friendly. Staff was very knowledgeable and helped me an my son, an nephews bc it was our very first visit. Just my personal opinion, An extra huge bonus was the female staff were mostly all really cute, or gorgeous women..As a single father , I did enjoy the views, as much as the kids enjoyed the games an etc..

A great place to take your kids for an afternoon of fun. Theres laser tag, bowling, go carts and an arcade. The staff is always polite and friendly. Love the go karts because the guy that typically runs the track is always super nice to me and my kids.

Ive grown up here so Ive always know the people who work here. Of course some come and go but that happens everywhere. The food is great, service is nice, lanes are cool, they even have a thing they do where the lights go out and theres glow in the dark stuff everywhere, the lanes glow, so do the pins. I just love the place so much

Friendly. More than bowling, with games, laser cave, indoor fast race cars. Great food. Reasonably priced for family or group activities. Has a 21 and above place for drinks away from kids area. Clean!

Good place to have fun, gets a little pricey if you do the other activities there but just to bowl is priced pretty good. My only complaint is some of the younger employees that work there wouldnt know a bowling ball from a bouncy ball.

This is a favorite family activitity. We do the kids can bowl free program in the summer and go often. There are lots of extras to do besides bowl. This place has bumper cars, arcade, laser tag, and a play area. The snack bar is not bad either. We always get an icey.

We went during Metros spring break and were the only ones there, for the second year in a row. Although staff was limited during those times, they did everything to help us when needed. Our kids, aged 3-12, always have a blast there. And their weekly and daily specials are great!

The game room needs updated and the games are always out of order. The go karts are a lot of fun but should last longer for the price. The tables at the lanes are close and the occupants are overcrowding each other but its always clean and the employees are always very helpful and nice. Great family atmosphere and weve always felt safe there!

Fantastic place to spend the day with my family! Bowling... Game Room... Play Area... all were great, and were only overshadowed by the friendliness of the staff. I feel like I truly found a hidden gem just 20 minutes from Bellevue. We will most certainly be back!

Enjoyed some machine games and go carts before bowling. Not sure what else they might have. Had fun. Would go back if in the area.

Review №72

Wanted to experience some quality time with daughter. I never expected anything free even though they screwed up right from the beginning. Put us on a lane that already had someone on it not realizing it we went ahead and put our shoes on and got a ball. Although some people would have been upset we was not. We went to the arcade and spent $20. Then they got a lane open, and the guy behind the counter started arguing with the other attended. Then reissuing the shoes and assigning us a lane he volunteers to give us some free time on the lane. My daughter and I finished 2 games. Went to the counter to return our shoes and find out how much we owe. The same attendant charged us for two games and two pairs of rental shoes. Then I realized that he lied we was paying full price so I questioned him about it. He act like he didnt give a damn. So if he didnt care about that he probably didnt care that is running off customers. Although it was not his fault that the lane was already occupied. Far more damage was done to my visit by lying to my face I will not be back.

There have been great changes to this bowling alley since the new owners took over last summer. The bowling alley is clean, bright and cheery! The food was good. The little play space for young children is a nice option for days that are too hot/wet/cold. Thank you for providing a fun, safe, and clean space for our family to hang out.

Review №76

Its a full-service bowling alley, so if you dont like bowling, youre probably not going to be to impressed with the place*. However, the lanes are pretty well maintained, theyve got plenty of balls and shoes to use, and its all delivered at a reasonable price. Im impressed that Dickson, a town of less than 20,000 people, has as many bowling joints as my hometown, which is some fifteen times larger. Nice pickup.**Now they have go-carts, too.

Place used to be amazing. Spent a ton of money at Thunder Alley but it was worth it as my daughter had a blast. We used to go weekly. Moved a ways away but went back while I was in town this last weekend. Parking lot was full of trash and inside wasnt any better. Multiple games broken, candy claw machine empty, game that gives prize didnt dispense the prize, play area reserved the whole time, and said we would need to come back in an hour to ride go carts. Assuming it must be under new ownership. Its a shame because this place used to have extremely friendly employees and was always clean.

This place is amazing! They have a small go-cart racing zone, laser tag, bowling, and a great interactive kids zone all in one place. Not to mention great prices for everything. I definitely recommend it! We will absolutely be back again.

We took our Grand-Daughter there this summer and she got to bowl 2 free games everyday. All we had to pay for were her shoes and extra games! She loved it and so did we. Great summer special for kids! Nice bowling for family fun

The First Time My Fiance & I Went, About Two Weeks Ago. Had A Great Time. Played Pool Had A Few Drinks Ordered Half The Menu. (Not Really). We Had 2 BLT Sandwhiches With Chips & An Order Of Mozzarella Sticks. The BLT Is Nothing To Brag About. It Tastes Like They Smeared Grease On The Toast Hardly Any Bacon. It Was Disgusting. But I Had Not Ate All Day. So I Sucked It Up And Finished It But It Was Horrible. Will Never Order That Again. The MOZARELLA Sticks Were AMAZING!! Had a Couple Of Drinks, They Were Good. Played Pool & Darts. I Had A Great Time. Also rode The Car Racing, not A Good Experience For Me Have Had Better. All Around It Was A Great Night

Good family fun. The bar is kind of sad now. Its more of a hate my life day drinkers kind or scene. Bowling is bowling its the same everywhere.

Review №91

This venue has done a lot of maintenance & upgrading inside & it is definitely helping. The kids play area being relocated to the back of the building away from the front doors is a big plus & it has MUCH better lighting than when it was located up front. I was on high alert about kids playing in the dim, dirty area before. New go carts are cool. The only other significant change I could see would be the arcade & getting decent prizes for it.
