Im a league member there. I love it but sometimes too much distraction by employees in the alleys by pin resetters.

Nice place to share in family, safe place.

FABULOUS STAFF and fun atmosphere!! They have just done some major remodeling and upgrades, so you definitely have to check it out!! I highly recommend it :)

Classic place...a little less modern but who cares! Bowling is bowling! Candlepin is the best

Clean lanes, shoes are in good shape, very reasonable price. Scoring system is outdated. Arcade leaves a little to be desired. Nice people at the counter.

It was nice bowling and the attendance people were nice since I was there for a birthday party

Excellent, fun and good family environment

This is a pretty basic bowling experience. The candle pin bowling was in glow mode when we went. The seating area is dark, but the control panel is not very well lit, which made it hard to enter results as you went along.Many of the candle pin balls are chipped. Im not a good enough bowler to speak to the quality of the lane maintenance. We had a good enough time.Shoes were $2.50 a pair, and you paid per lane per hour. Thats kind of weird, because your games rarely end exactly on the hour. I would have preferred to pay per game (which is how 10-pin is priced).The staff was pretty friendly, although when we came in there was no one around. They didnt seem to be in much of a hurry at any point.

Nice bowling lanes......bowling lanes today are few and far between....LIKE when they spread you out between lanes when not busy, so your not bowling next to anyone...!!!

Family friendly, great beer prices, fun arcade, great customer service, and all around amazing place!

We were there for Glow bowling. Kids had fun l, but when we were 1 frame away from completing the game the attendant rudely came over and shut us down saying our paid hour was up. The fact that we were unable to finish our game is ridiculous. Especially when we were 1 frame (minutes)from completion. Staff was rude and for this I will not be going back.

Good alleys and nice place

I hadnt been there in years and was surprised it was still open. I had a great time with friends and family. Only complaint I have is the lack of Air condition. Other than that its a great place to go to have fun

Went here many times as a child and just recently visited fort he first time in about 20 years. Place hasnt changed too much. It was the first time I saw glow-bowling there. Overall a fun experience, although the scoring system is a real throwback. It took us a little while to get the hang of the scoring system and how everything is manually entered in, but once you get it, its not bad at all. Most of the candlepin balls are in decent enough condition, but there are a few that have large chips and should be removed. Will probably return at some point if Im in the are.

I always have a good time at Academy Lanes. Whether Im going out with friends or go with a group of adults with disabilities as part of my job, Academy Lanes is always pleasant and accommodating. The staff are friendly and responsive. Its a great place for families.

Fun place clean and glow blowing available

The owner is nice in the place is always clean

Lanes clean and good service

Great price to have a kids birthday party and its easy to have pizza delivered from Pizza Express across the parking lot. Staff is very friendly and helpful. For a party, each kid gets bowling but also a coupon for a free string on another trip and a few tokens for the arcade.

Staff here was very rude. We brought 9 people here bowling and we split up the lanes 6 and 3. The staff comes over after a while and says in front of everyone that we have to pay for another person. Implying that we were trying to steal a free round for someone. After explaining to him and him realizing how we split up the lanes he just walks away no apology.

Well maintained and clean. Been going for over 40 years. Still family owned.

Old school but very nice place, they have alcohol which can only be paid in cash, they have wifi the password is : Academy48..I do recommend this place.

Vintage atmosphere, friendly staff and fellow bowlers. Small closet serves beers, and the beer lady remembers everyones name, very impressive when your bowling team has a rotation of 8 people. Mens bathroom is always gross, not sure about ladies room. Some arcades for the kiddos. League is $16/week which is my most expensive hobby, but its an excuse to see friends, and nothing better going on in the winter.

I absolutely love this place, great place for friends and family

Place is great! Plenty of lanes. Arcade is small but has enough for the kids to enjoy. Prices are reasonable.

Good place for bowling...

The computer screens may say top of the line scoring system, but I assure you its from the nineties. You have to enter your own score after your turn (gasp). That doesnt mean I didnt enjoy myself tho, they have small bowling balls, 10-pin bowling. We had a great time and ordered a GF pizza from a nearby Pizza shop that delivers to the alley. They have a nice arcade too and even serve alcoholic beverages at night (bottled drinks only).

Love the bowling but Id rather have bigger balls than baceballs

Doesnt get better than this... and sooo cheap

Dated but decent. All food & drink (except beer) is via vending machine. Staff is friendly and the premises are clean.

I love this bowling alley

They are nice and polite. Wasnt a wait to bowl which is better than a place I tried to go earlier in the week that had an hour and a half wait. Price reasonable. Just not super modern. They do have the option of pay by string in regular lighting or glow bowling which you pay by the hour.

If you like candlepin bowling, this is the place-- its one of the biggest candlepin centers in the world, if not the biggest. Nothing but candlepin lanes, and theyve got glow blowing with disco lights and plain bowling, league nights, etc. Theres a tiny arcade with a pinball machine and a video game or two.

Loved their bowling alley played a few games very good people in coming back this year to do it all over again

Went to birthday party. Son had a blast.

Great staff and atmosphere. Been bowling in a league for the better half if a decade. Very accommodating. They also have a beer room.

The lane broke a few dozen times but it was only one lane with that problem

Awesome place professional staff

It would be nice if there was a separate party room for kids. We were placed right next to a child party which was unexpected.The balls did seem outdated causing some weird rolls.Overall a fun time with friends for a winter sunday night, but would not have a childs party here.

Nice to bowl, I believe they only carry small bowling balls though

This place never changes. Good old fashion bowling. They have glow bowling and stuff like that, but the place hasn’t changed since I was a kid.

Its a okay place to bowl but there is a step just becareful dont fall

Great staff! Fun candlepin bowling. Great youth league!!

They have the smaller size bawling balls with is less funAnd its feels like kind of old placeBut...It is bawling which is funthey have decent pricesAnd my kids like this place

Awesome place to bowl.

Good prices. Clean. Fun for the whole family.

Ilove that itake. my.family there.all.the.time.they.have snacks.and.lotsofun.and.grear.andGood.stuff

Fun atmosphere and friendly staff. Unique lighting on the bowling but older digital scoring system. Clean lanes and some decent beers available.

Good times with friends

Great place to bowl. Nice staff

Had an excellent time at a very good price

Brought a big group of kids here, they had a blast.

Great place for the Whole Family. Fun&Clean. The staff Greet you with a Smile.

Love this place to bowl

It was a decent bowling place. Nothing special. Average prices. No complaints.

Nice family friendly establishment. They have regular or glow like bowling. Inexpensive and very friendly employees. Arcade located inside as well

Clean shoes, straight lanes, friendly staff. Great place to come bowl a few strings.

Great for families.

What can one say? Its Academy Lanes. A legendary destination. Handicap leagues on Fridays at 5:00, where one can hang out and volunteer or simply be friendly with those less fortunate.

The hourly prices for lanes are very high amd make it very expensive to enjoy for a night out with friemds or family

Went with 4 of my grandchildren Friday afternoon. Such a nice relaxing place. We will be going back with more family.

Had a very good time here with my family. Will definitely come back here again.

Clean,fun with children, has keno

Nice neighborhood bowling alley and in good shape. Beers are properly priced. Only complaint is that its only candlepin bowling.

Good place

Fun place to visit. Kids like the glow ball. Huge number of lanes

Best place and number 1 choice when it comes to candlepins

FIVE STARS

Great alley

Fun place to bowl candle pins. Nice and laid back.

Good way to make friends

I love this place.. Fun and inexpensive.

Fun night!

I enjoy it it gives me places to enjoy my self also when i go with our club house the opint after club

Glow bowling was amazing!! The machines ran perfectly as well!

A bit dates but stil nice to go for a string or two.

Casual candle pin bowling, decent prices, caters to both league and family bowling.

The Pros: The place was clean and well kept. The lanes were in good condition, as were the balls. The prices are well within reasonable. The shoes are clean and well maintained. Glowbowl is always fun, and the price for that is reasonable as well.The Cons: The scoring system is from the late 80s, and is a full manual computer system. Youll be counting pinfalls yourself.The Bottom Line: Well worth it for the price, as long as you dont mind counting your own pinfalls.

Candlepin bowling at its finest

Great place with great people

Do not book a party here! We booked private lanes for a company and they over booked it and we had to have our party with all of the public. Terrible experience!

It is fun being ther with my family

It was a good enough place.

Glow bowling was a very fun way to play candlepin bowling! :)

Had lots of fun!! Thank you!!

On bowling team, fun to go to.

Great place to bowl candlepin!

Had a nice time with the family bowling. Clean and friendly.

Youre pretty good

Umm is fine

A lot of FUN AND MORE FUN

While the prices are good, the lanes sag to the left

We just went there yesterday when the kids were on February vacation we had a blast

Awsome for the family

Smells humidity, all building

Extremely retro

Great time fun for all

Old time bowling
