This place is great. Much cleaner than Frankies fun park. In Fact unless I want to play Mini golf I will not be going back to that dump. Spare time is so much better

Spacious. alot of room for people to gather. plenty of arcade machines. bowling alley part is small in my opinion, but overall they have specials on different days of the week that are affordable for the family. i recommend.

We came to hang out for an evening. We are from out of town. We were more then impressed with the entire place especially the staff! The service was exceptional. Very fun staff!!! Taylor ( i believe the restaurant manager), Shelby (a waitress running to the bowling alley constantly), and Rachel (our table waitress) were exceptional! All three had great personalities and made the evening so plesent and enjoyable!!!!!!! Place is clean and fresh feeling and feels very new!

This place is awesome. So much fun. It was clean, the food was good (order is taken and delivered to your lane). They also have laser tag. Really, really fun!

Took my boys here for the arcade. It was pretty cool! Lots of cool games, although many of them are gambling-type chance games or grabby claw-type games. Unfortunately, most of the games are VERY expensive, like $1.5 to $5 for games that take anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. I might be dating myself, so I won’t take a star off for that. The best value for us was the air hockey, which my boys really enjoyed! We will come again sometime and try the bowling.

We had a lot of fun. I wish there were a little more selection and would choose Dave and Busters arcade over this one but it was fun.

Our first experience, likely our last experience, we went there to bowl and our lane kept malfunctioning so we ordered food and drinks during the wait time. Food arrived in a timely manner but...our waiter was totally horrible, had to consistently track him down for refills and on several occasions had to refer to a manager in order to get service. Even once our bowling was over and wanted to clear my tab because I had my credit card on there, had to track a manager down, whom also seemed to get lost; who then referred us to the general manager. I give the GM credit for his professionalism and CLEMSON shirt but during the course of our experience my son ordered a mountain due refill that was never delivered, my wife ordered water refill that was never delivered and lane malfunctioning 2 plus times...and me constantly having to track the waiter down to even get service...it was just a overall bad experience. Please hire more experienced servers that possibly know whom their patrons are because you never know whom youre serving...and I hate i have to even give it one because I feel cheated out of quality time with family and money isnt the issue but the quality time and fun was totally wasted.

Always clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. They have usually have 95% of their games working which is good. We enjoy it because its fun to come here. The food tastes good also.

We had so much fun!! Pricey but worth the fun and the memories. The laser tag was confusing as there was no attendant available even after being paged by the front desk to assist us. So that money was a waste, but the rest of the experience was very delightful.

Review №18

Really nice facility, very friendly staff, multiple options for activities. My only complaint is we called from the parking lot about bowling and was told 45 minutes to an hour. Less than 5 minutes later we walked in to get in line for a lane and somehow in those 5 minutes it went from an hour to 3 hours. A little disappointing but we all still had fun in the arcade and doing laser tag.

Clean, clean, clean. Somewhat of a ghost town, BUT theyre open to serve you. There arent really any COVID species but a nice clean race to take the kids and get out of the house for a large muscle activity! Staff is helpful the grill is open with a limited menu and bowling lanes are open along with game room. Go for Wednesdays half price day!

My family and I tried to come here for my brother in laws 40th birthday. My sister reserved a bowling lane for 6 people, but when we went to the check in desk, we were told it was a 3 hour wait.... why when we had a lane reserved? So we had to settle for trash Dave n Busters, which was awful. Wont be trying this place again

Its fine. We had fun. drink service at the bowling alley area was slow but staff was friendly. Plenty of parking. Social distancing is mostly in name only. Didnt eat so cant comment to the food but it seemed to be typical bar food.

The price wasnt that bad as we split it between 7 adults. They have bowling and arcade and escape rooms. We did it all and had a blast. We will be going back again.

Lots of fun for kids of every age. Bowling lanes are nice and bowling shoes are in good condition. I hope it stays this way. Good experience with me and my grandgirls. They enjoyed the funny characters made from the snapshots they took at the scoreboard and shown on the screen.

I went here for a team outting. We first got food there which took forever to get. My order was incorrect so I had to wait longer to get my food. I believe I waited at least 45 minutes before I actually got my food. My other team members said that their fries were cold. But everything else was good. I did order me an alcoholic drink which was good. The manager didnt come to the table and fixed my order and took it off being that I had to wait so long due to it being incorrect. They also gave us a $10 credit to play the games here. The waitress was good it wasnt her fault that the food was behind. They were short-staffed this day due to three people calling out. thats the reason why I didnt get it five Stars due to the service. I do still suggest people come here because you will have a good time. They also have bowling along with the games and laser tag. I may try to eat here again when theyre fully staffed just to see if the service is better. So I cant really recommend anyone eating here as of right now. But check it out for yourself it is a fun place for a family or just a first date or whatever the case may be.

Wow! We had our company Christmas party at Spare Time & our team is STILL talking about how much fun they had. Kaitlyn (Event Specialist) was on top of every detail & communicated with us throughout the planning process. The night of the event we were welcomed & checked on by Kaitlyn & the managers on duty. John & Jennifer made sure our evening was pleasant & served us with smiles all night long. They made our evening shine & we could not have received better treatment! If you are looking to book a party here, do not hesitate!!

This place was fun. Had a lot going on. Vr games, laser tag, bowling, nice service to lanes, bar area. Private areas. We will go back. Was not a fan of the pizza. Paper thin, no sauce, barely any flavor. Fries were good.

Review №46

Terrible service, we went bowling and we reserved a lane, but the people who were at that lane before us decided to stay an extra hour, and the staff did nothing to tell us about until we asked, we eventually got our lane, but not without waiting for nearly 2 hours, since we got there an hour or so early.The second time we went, we went for dinner, and to watch a football game on TV, we got our drinks, and we were about to order, but nobody came to take our order, for nearly an hour, so we left and went to a Brixx Pizza instead. Final note, if you hate bad service, and/or Staff, Dont go.

It was for my nephews birthday. We had 2 boys and a toddler who had one of the best times of their lives! When you go, be sure to ask for Troy C. And you will not be disappointed. Dave and busters cannot hold a candle to the quality of spare time and the way they treat you!

Came here to celebrate my nephews birthday last week. We did bowling, the game room, and laser tag. Were from out of town and my family hadnt been bowling in awhile. The bowling in my area is gross, not clean, feel dirty just walking in, tacky carpet, etc..This place made me jealous. It was so clean I didnt mind letting my infant stand/crawl in the bowling area. They have comfy little pods that connect 2 lanes. The bowling shoes looked clean (my husband bowled while I watched baby). They had fun things where you took your pic and it was in the bowling animation. The games were pretty fun.The laser tag was clean as well. Someone patrols to help make sure people followed the rules and the equipment worked (even saying which of your sensors got hit).Staff was so friendly and kind to my infant (waving, smiling, etc.). Greta place for people. They also had an escape room and restaurant we did not do.

I had an excellent time.I had the Smokehouse Burger and water for roughly $15 (they ask how you want the burger cooked) It was delicious. That burger didnt stand a chance once I got that 1st bite. To work off a filling meal. We bowled a 1 hr game for roughly $15. 1 hour was enough time for 5 people to get through a game and a half. After we played a few Arcade games for $15 (really it was just laser tag though) there was Also an escape room there however I did not get the chance to check it out. Maybe next time

We just had our RE/MAX Moves Christmas Party at Spare Time! It’s one of my favorite places for adults and children alike. The laser tag is super fun, and super competitive. If you’re staying for dinner I’d suggest the flatbread pizza.

Spare Time was awesome. I went with a few friends for my birthday and played a lot of laser tag. The staff was really nice and accommodating. They even went above and beyond to rectify a strange situation with our reservation and their computer system. I would come here over Dave and Busters mostly because the food and service are way better.

Review №77

The reason for the two star rating was we went in and asked about the rates for bowling and were informed of certain deals and prices for certain times. When we returned after playing in the arcade they told us that the deal was no longer available because it was to busy...but their was more than four lanes available which was confusing. For future references I think that is a disclaimer that should be mentioned and advertised so that customers are not surprised when coming in to bowl for a specific deal or anything else.

Its a cool location and we went there mainly for bowling. After our buzzer rang we brought it up front and the lady started talking to us and the picked up the phone n started chatting to someone n left us mid transaction. Like what the heck. And the lanes arent straight either especially lane 15. The bowling balls are awesome tho. Love that the holes are big enough. Havent checked out the arcades yet but thats next on the list but bowling and customer service was a fail.

We did an escape room for my nieces birthday. I am a escape room veteran with over 50 rooms beaten throughout the state so the room was a little too easy, and generic. The group of seven of us did beat the room with fastest time and they gave us all another room to do for free, so that was awesome.

Laser tag was super fun! Great way to hang with teen kiddos. Some attractions are a waste, but that shouldnt be too big of a surprise. Bowling is by the hour only on the weekends--beware! Plenty of fun for all ages.

Ordered wings that were served under cooked. As an accommodation the wings were taken off my bill. The waitress (nice) provided wings that were on the house and my new order of shrimp. I graciously accepted. I realized those were the same wings just thrown back into the fryer to be extra crispy. So I took the biggest drum an opened it up and what I found was uncooked chicken. After that I order a drink and told my waitress I was ready for my check.... Nice place for games & drinks but food I would not recommend.

Large facility with something for everyone whether its family night, date night or a night out with friends. They have an extensive arcade, a restaurant on the other side of the action and my favorite is the room escapes at the back with clues and riddles to solve while trying to beat the clock and make your escape!

This was my first time coming here the games were decent but I came in this place for great food and games, ordered food along with my family yet my uncles food was undercooked the food was placed back in the kitchen our waitress gave us the same plate of chicken it was as if it was put right back in the oil and reserved. I wouldnt recommend the food here.

Went on a weekday, only 10 min. wait for a lane. Lots of video games to play while you wait. Good food and service. Special deals on bowling that night. Be prepared to pay higher end for soda(3.50) and food. Good family fun. We will be going back.
