Customer Reviews

We have the kids' bowl free passes, and we love it. The staff is amazing. We love the fries and mac and cheese bites, and we brought grandma and grandpa to join this last round. We tried Lazer Tag for the first time at this facility, and it was their grandparents' first time ever playing. It was one of the most fun rounds of Lazer tag we've had, and we love Lazer tag. We truly can't get enough of this place, and I think their staffing is the majority of the reason!

This place is really exceptional if you are planning any kind of event. The staff is trained well and prepared, which takes pressure off of the host, me, so I could enjoy my client appreciation event and not worry about the details. They kept hot, delicious food coming, drinks full, trash picked up and were so attentive. The alleys are fun and modern, the arcade and laser tag were a blast and it's so affordable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We loved it so much we also had my son's b-day here too!

Had my kiddo?s 10th birthday party here last week. The party planning staff was informative and responsive from the get go, and the pricing is very reasonable. On the day of the party, everything was set up when we arrived, the party host was attentive and informative, and everything went smoothly. My kiddo and his friends had a great time. Thank you for the great service, ease, and convenience!

I come here with friends for a very large semi-regular furry bowling night here. The staff have been great to work with, always a blessing with us, not everyone is. The lanes are well maintained, the food is decent, though naturally it and drinks are very pricey, as are most bowling alleys. Their bowling balls are in good shape and come in a good variety of weights and finger sizes. They have a DJ booth and great sound system, which greatly adds to the experience - they allow use to provide our own DJs. Tha

Not meant for serious bowlers unless you bring your own balls. This place is definitely great for kids or adults that aren't serious bowlers. However, definitely do not go on days when there is live music. We accidentally went during a school of Rock performance and there was nowhere to sit or put your stuff. There were people sitting in our lane that were there to watch the show and not bowl. we paid $80 for 2 hours and had people in our lane..... It was very frustrating. Also the balls there are not good

Best kid?s birthday! We just had an incredible birthday party for my 8-year-old son! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every child had an amazing time. They were friendly, attentive, and so well-organized. The highlight of the day was definitely the laser tag?it was nonstop fun, and the kids couldn't stop talking about it afterward! The games and activities were perfectly tailored for the age group, keeping everyone engaged and excited. My son said i

We went here for trivia night on a Tuesday. The food is expensive and not amazing but that's what you would probably expect from a bowling alley. Trivia was fun!

We held my 6-year-old son's birthday party at Chipper's Lanes in Broomfield and it went so smoothly! We got great value on the party package, Jeni was an excellent event coordinator who checked in with us before the party, and Sloan had amazing customer service as our party host/server. The kids bowled, played in the arcade, and ate pizza... it was a hit!

Very cool place to spend an afternoon with the grandkids! They love it here. We went bowling during the free offer time. Then spent some time in the arcade and paintball areas. The food is good, too.

My team and I recently had a team building bowling party at the Chipper bowling lanes in Broomfield. The event planner (Natascha Palmer) was awesome and made booking the party a breeze. The staff at Chippers lanes was great, very courteous, attentive and helped make our experience wonderful. We'll definitely be coming back!!! Thank you very much for a great time!!!

UPDATE: another Halloween and another fantastic night here with our same friends! The service was excellent AGAIN! The entire staff were so kind to the kids, extremely helpful and helped us keep up our 7 year tradition! Special shout out to Davonte for taking care of us on our lanes. He made sure we had everything we needed and then some. ________________ I cannot speak highly enough about this bowling alley! Every Halloween we go to dinner and bowling with our friends. We've had to hop around due to many

My son won a gift certificate to this place, there was 5 of us, just walked in . Just want to give a shout out to Kelsy-(not sure of spelling) but I believe she is the day manager, she was very helpful, explaining everything, and I feel went above and beyond make our experience here awesome and rememberable. All of the staff were pretty great, actually. This i s what true customer service looks like, and its good to see it still exists. Thank you so much Kelsy.

Laser tag is great especially with a group and servers are friendly and thoughtful. But equipment needs work. Only 8 were working!!! Can be fun and food is good.

Wasn't too busy when we went but it was a good experience. Everything was clean and the staff was nice. The seating by the lanes were a little small but it works for a small group.

We had a great time with our extended family of 11. Bowling and the biggest hit was laser tag. The gals staffing the business were really kind and helpful to my group. Thank you for a memorable time. Grandpa of the group appreciates the experience.12/27/23 @ 5pm

Went to Clippers for the first time and had a wonderful time. We didn't order food and drinks but the place was clean, we loved the fun colors, and the staff was friendly. We'll definitely be back.

We held my daughter?s 13th birthday here- the kids had a blast. We did the bowling/arcade package and it was perfect. The kids attention spans only lasted for 1 game of bowling and they finished the party in the arcade, so the 2 hours was the perfect amount of time. My son is disabled and they made sure we were on the accessible lanes and had a ramp already set up for him to bowl with ease. Thank you, Chippers!

I strongly recommend finding another place to bowl. The pins are attached to strings, which makes them fall unnaturally, taking away from the experience. On top of that, the pricing feels deceptive. I specifically requested the $20.85 Unlimited Bowling for 1-2 people, but the front desk lady instead charged us for the $89.45 ? 3-hour unlimited lane rental without clear communication. As a result, our session was cut short, and we ended up paying more than double what we expected. When I confronted her abo

Chippers is amazing! It's cost efficient and so fun. Kelsie was the nicest person and so helpful throughout the experience. Sean was also helpful!

We celebrated my 12 year-old daughter's b-day at Chippers Lane in Broomfield. It was fantastic. Sloan was our host and she was the best! Highly recommended!

Food is a bit pricy but the funnel cake fries were delicious. The arcade is nothing special and requires you to get a card like a Dave n busters. A good amount of the bowling balls have scuffs in them which is fine for a long running place. The lanes have this funny wire method to reset the lanes and more than once it made something that wouldn't have been a strike become one. Good for a fun time but would go somewhere else for competitive things.

It is a very good place to spend time with family and kids enjoyed bowling, it has arcade and laser tag is also there. On monday evenings some days they have a special half price discount. Staff are very friendly and cooperative. Go and have some Funtime with bowling.

I had a fantastic time planning a Birthday party doing Laser Tag here! Planning and organizing was a breeze. Their communication was great. The staff on the day-of was kind and knowledgeable. Big thank you to everyone who contributed to making my day special!

We had an awesome birthday party here! The staff is so helpful and kind, especially Eli! He was very attentive, helpful and made the entire experience so easy. Thank you, Eli!

The staff was friendly; but there was a lot of problems with the equipment. First of all, they had no shoes available in size 12. And a majority of the balls available has large dents and dings in them which can greatly affect the trajectory of the ball. And the lanes themselves didn't seem to be oiled properly and I suspect the boards were warped. If they fixed their equipment and lanes; be a much better experience for someone renting.

Fun bowling, great for events, and friendly staff! I only wish there was more space for larger events, but I can't fault the alley for that since we don't have the technology to make buildings bigger on the inside yet :p

Bowling was good. The food however, expensive, took 30 minutes to receive during the slow part during the day, and the vegetables tasted like they had a chemical taste to them. 3 stars because the bowling was decent.

First time bowling at this house and everyone was so friendly!! Shout out to Kelsie who introduced me to the place and let me know how everything worked - pricing, food, drinks, etc. while being extremely friendly and outgoing! She even came to my lane to ask if I wanted something to drink! I've never had that happen before. Shout out to Sean too for extending the friendliness that Kelsie showed me! I'll be back soon :)

I have taken numerous groups of fifth graders for their end of year celebration and the staff is SUPER PATIENT with them all! Chippers is clean, well lit and nicely remodeled!

Great time bowling with my son. Kylie was most helpful with some issues we had with the lane sensor that kept going off and accommodated us. She was also helpful getting my son?s bowling shoes size corrected and took care of us with food/drinks. We will definitely come back again!

Great place for parties and family outings. Arcade, bowling and lasertag all under the same roof, with food and drinks that satisfy multiple dietary needs (I eat plant-based) this place delivered, and service was great. Jahon was really helpful and answered all my questions I had.

Natascha at Chippers helped me design an awesome event for my company abotu 40/50 ppl. We had a great time!

I own a martial arts school and we held a special event here for our students and their families. We had a great time!! The facilities were very clean. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our students loved the bowling, and they have an impressive Laser Tag arena. We will definitely hold an event there again in the future!!

Wow wonderful place to spend time with kids, they have special discounts on mondays. Arcade is also available and laser tag is there. Staff are very cooperative. Go and have some Funtime.

Older bowling alley, lanes in decent shape. Fun place if you don't take bowling too seriously and just looking for something to do with some friends. Didn't have any food or drink so can't comment on that.

We have hosted multiple team parties for our youth sports team. Jeni and the chippers team have always been good to us. I couldn't recommend a better place to host a party!

First time coming to this place! Clean friendly and super fun. The customer service was great. Davonte, Alyssa, Justin, Josie and Alisyn are extremely fun and attentive. Always asked if everything is okay or if we need anything. Food was served at a decent time ! We will be coming back here for sure

It makes me sad to put anything other than 5 stars for this place. We've been here a few times before and loved it. We've always had such a great experience and the nachos were amazing, which is what brought us back. Unfortunately, this time was not as pleasant as the last few times. We had a large group reservation and needed two lanes. We were placed on our lanes and one didn't work. They couldn't reset the pins so they moved us to a different set of lanes. After just 2 frames, one of those lanes broke an

Excellent place and excellent service!!! Davonte is by far the best!! Food is great, vibe is great and prices are great. Oh AND they have live music!! I've been here a few times and it's been a pleasurable experience every time. Not your typical bowling alley. The owner and his staff are very hospitable. Davonte remembered us from our first visit and always makes sure we are having a good time and very well taken care of. I'll be coming back here for the rest of my life. 5 stars and more!!!

Great for birthdays! My son had a laser tag party here last year. He liked it so much that he wanted to do it again this year. The staff is very friendly and attentive. All the kids had fun at the arcade and laser tag. See you next year!

G=eat place to bowl have a few drinks and some great food. Alisyn was a great server along with the other staff

Excellent service! We had some questions and Alyssa was very kind in taking the effort to give us excellent service with a smile. Nice to see this type of polite attitude and willingness to help in customer service. I spoke with Sean the general manager just to offer praise for Alyssa, and his comments on the culture of service and atmosphere they are focusing on has convinced me to go here any time we want to go bowling. Good service makes a difference!

We hosted a party for my son and everyone- all 35 of us- from age 8 to 85 had a great time and the staff took care of everything. Josie was a great host and made sure we had food and drinks. Taylor was fabulous leading laser tag and helping the kids with their arcade cards. Natascha was so easy to work with to plan the party. 1000% recommend. Already planning another party there

Chippers is incredibly fantastic!! We had an amazing time with friends and family for our son?s graduation. It was clean, welcoming and fun!!! The staff is extremely attentive, friendly and respectful. Great leadership and management is obvious with the way the staff treated all my guests!! Thank for you a memorable event !!

We love Chipper's! We just brought 24 people here for an adult birthday bowling and arcade party and had a blast. The food is decent and the bar keeps the drinks flowing. We will be back!

Great place for birthday parties, especially the kids. Thanks for the awesome service!

Bad review because I played terrible. I left the establishment very disappointed because I suck at bowling. Two hours of bowling for a single strike. My friend won a free turkey, but they wouldn't let him keep the turkey hat. What the heck!! Also, the pins are attached to strings, which does not provide the best experience for customer. Edit: I'm giving this place 5 stars because of nostalgia and they keep prices low and the employees are very nice.

Davonte Brian and Alison were very professional and helped us the whole time highly recommend coming here treated us with up most class well definitely be coming back.

Sloan is awesome! She is very kind and made our experience here a lot of fun!

Aging place, but still fun. Classic Brunswick 2000 system, and the place overall looks like a great one to take the family, bowl, play video games, and looks like laser tag is on the menu? (We didn't have time.) On the negative side, most of the loaner balls are very scratched/gauged, and I found the floor and/or shoes to be "sticky" for some reason.

Unbelievable, live bands, bowling, stiff drinks, amazing staff?. I mean. What more could I ask for? Thomas wheeling and dealing at the counter was a multitask king. 10 out of 10.

This place is pretty old. The bowling aisle and the balls are old too. If you are bunch of friends and just hanging out for fun this should be ok. They have a bunch of options for food, As the place looks pretty dry I don't think the food to be fresh. They even have a bunch of arcade games for kids and laser tag to play which we didn't try though. I would say they have decent customer service.

Reserved a lane via the website and after getting charged the full $77+ after tax for a 90 minute reservation, I was told that the res was no longer available. I then spent thirty minutes on the phone with the folks at Chippers who informed me I didnt have a reservation ever despite being charged. They did get us a lane for the time we wanted, however, the entire experience once we got to the lanes was subpar. Balls were well worn with lots of chips in them, and the larger balls didn't have smaller size fi

My kids 9th birthday party was a blast at 100 Nickel. Kids bowled and played arcade. I love supporting a local business. Justin our party planner was amazing, professional and wonderful with the kids.

This is a great bowling alley! Clean bathrooms and an exceptionally friendly staff.

Management is so bad. We were all having fun the tv told us to throw even though the pins were messed up and then the ball accidentally messed up the machine. Management specifically Sara was completely disrespectful and rude towards our group. Even cussing out one our group members. Atmosphere is fine, but Sara needs to change how she treats customers

We celebrated my son?s 9 birthday at the Chippers in Broomfield and all of the kids had a blast! They did bowling, laser tag, and ended with the arcade. It was the perfect place for a party!

My kids and I have been here twice and loved it! Went a couple days ago and did laser tag and bowling. The laser tag area is more interesting and decorative than some others we've been to, and Sloan made our experience really great! Thanks for good customer service! Was also awesome to see the Grateful Dead tribute band while we were there (I think "Dead Live"?). My son even saw his 4th grade teacher there, and we ended up bowling in the lane next to her and her friends! Lol really fun night, thanks guys!

Got in before the evening rush which was cool because we had to move lanes 3 times before we got one with bumpers that worked correctly for the kiddo. They would not have had the lanes by the time we left. The staff was friendly and nice about everything. The adult beverages were made well. When my wife took our daughter to the bathroom, the toilet clogged and overflowed. Luckily there was a plunger nearby and she has skills. The bench for our new lane had a rip in its vinyl. Despite all this, we had a gre

The staff was great, and we always enjoy our company events hosted at Chipper's in Broomfield.

Thomas, Natasha, Ernestine, and the other staff were helpful, welcoming, patient, and kind, and our group had a fantastic time.

Customer Service Out of this World!! Alyssa, Alisyn, and Josie along with the entire team made our visit this past Sunday so enjoyable. We had 7 hectic boys with us and they handled them all with ease, patience and positivity. We had a great time and they were all around so accommodating and fast! Food was excellent as well! We definitely will be coming back. I was so impressed with the service. Great job young ladies! The owner of this establishment is so lucky to have you!

Very fun. Live music on weekends starting at 8pm.

The staff at Chipper's Lane were friendly and helpful. We had a large group of 30+ so we ordered 8 pizzas and the pizza was delicious. The facility was clean and comfortable and we were able to keep our kids entertained for more than 3 hours for a very reasonable price. We will definitely be back.

Big thank you to Chippers for hosting our annual corporate bowling party once again. The friendly staff is always on top of set up and ensuring we have the entertainment space and equipment needed. Our team especially enjoys the fried apps and chicken wings! Looking forward to doing it again next year.

Had a great time. Great staff! Alisyn and Mateo were amazing. Great customer service!

Had the pleasure of hosting a large event at Chipper's 100 Nickel location and would love to share my experience! I run a large group (often 200+ attendee) recurring bowling event. Typically we have been hosted by a corporate owned alley, but after inconsistent experiences (often long lines for check in and food/drinks because the alley wasn't staffing up for our event) we decided to Chipper's a try and it was like night and day! Natascha, the large event coordinator was enthusiastic, communicative and ea

Perfect bowling spot! Great fries! Wasn't too busy on a Sunday. No complaints! ????

Had a great experience! We came on a random Friday midday, not busy at all. We paid for 1hr of bowling but was a couple frames shy to complete last game as the hour approached. KELSIE was awesome! Super friendly and accommodating. She gave us a few extra minutes so we could finish our last game AND she also gave our son extra tokens on his game card. Music was great (70s/80s), good variety of arcade games and laser tag. Environment is not overstimulating (like Bowlero) and reasonably priced ($38 x3 people f

We just had our son?s 8th birthday at Chippers and it was awesome. The team did such a great job from scheduling, following up before the event and day of execution. We had a complex package with a bowling lane, laser tag and arcade but everything went smoothly with the different activities. Thank you all such much. Ev had a perfect birthday and the guests were happy!

This was our second birthday party at Chippers! Easy to organize and the kids have a blast!!

Who would have guessed bowling and bluegrass go together so well. And mushrooms too. Anyways, really intimate place to see good live music and bowl, at the same time! The bowling doesn't distract from the music either. Had a blast, highly recommend it. #highcountryhustle #coloradobluegrass

I assist special needs adults and take them out into the community to do activities. We came here to bowl after being treated unkindly at Coal Creek bowling alley. They were so kind and welcoming to our group. The GM gave me his card and definitely welcomed us back. Great atmosphere, fun, inviting and all staff members were kind!! Definitely take your friends and family here and you will have a great experience.

The bowling was fun as always but the service was where they won me over. Kelsie was so friendly and rad. She made us feel right at home and Im not sure we'll go to another bowling alley knowing how kind and cool everyone at chipper?s is. Thanks yall!

We walked in on a Friday night and we're helped out by Sydney. There was no wait for a lane and the service was prompt and great! Live music too! Great date night!

This place is great! Great value compared to other options. Clean and tidy and great staff.

This was one of the easiest birthday party?s I have had for my son. Ernestine took care of everything! She was prepared, had a great attitude and made sure we had everything we needed. She is awesome! Thanks for making the day so easy and so fun! Highly Recommend!

Had such a fun time there! It was a great work party and my kids loved it. The wings and pizza are really delicious. Loved the live music! Will definitely plan another party there!!

Kylie was our server yesterday and she was the absolute best. Took care of everything for us and was super friendly! We will definitely be back :)

Had a class reunion activity at Chippers with pizza and bowling, it was great. The staff was very responsive and nice, the pizzas were really good and everyone had a great time. I got all kinds of thank yous from all the attendees.

It was a pretty decent place to take the kids but very overpriced. Especially as far as snacks and goodies.

Taylor and Alisyn were so helpful tonight! They made sure me and my friends were hydrated and cared about how we were doing! :)

Fun place for the family to go bowling, play laser tag and some video games. The lanes are well kept and there were easy selections of bowling balls for the kids. Word of warning....holy cow the food is super expensive here. Maybe grab a bite to eat before you go or after. Just to get a couple of snacks for 4 people was more than our game of bowling for 6 people!

Awesomeness and Great Laser Tag that feels COOL to do. Ern was really nice and gave me so much pizza that I ordered that I was very happy and full. Picture related: An awesome plushie I won because of how good I was at crane games after eating so much pizza! I like video games.

We had our 5 year olds birthday party here in July. Jeni, the event coordinator was amazing. She was easy to communicate with and made sure everything was planned out exactly as we wanted. The staff was very polite and helpful during the party. The prices are exceptional for parties! We got a large party room right next to our 2 lanes. The pizza was great. The arcade was clean and all the games worked. The young girl working our party even gave the kids extra game cards that were left over. Definitely plan

We had a party there for our gym, Northglenn Health and Fitness, and we had a blast. The service was over the top great. Will definitely be back!

Fun atmosphere and great local alley that doesn't feel too big.

Our company hosted a party here and it was PERFECT! Planning the event with Shauna, the event coordinator, was seamless! She was so helpful, so informative and was always prompt with responses. The team at this location are just wonderful. They are kind, patient and know how to support for their guests to have a great time. The food was great, and it is so easy to add on arcade games or laser tag to a party (which, is the best laser tag course EVER). I cannot recommend this place enough for large parties!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
