Customer Reviews

Our client had a wonderful time at their fundraising event with Chipper's Lanes/2454 West in Greeley! The staff was friendly and verey helpful. Everyone enjoyed the food and the FUN! Thank you for supporting non-profits and for being a great partner! - BIG DEAL Company

Over the weekend we had a birthday party for our 13 year old here! Kayelie and Taylor were the ones taking care of our large party and did such a fantastic job! They came over multiple times to see how we were doing and stayed on top of making sure our soda and water pitchers were full. We got to enjoy our son's party and not have to worry about any of the details! I would definitely recommend anyone to have a gathering here! Everyone had a blast! The group of teens LOVED the robot that delivered some snack

Staff were friendly and helpful, and we were gratified to see the pride flag as the need to support this community is more urgent than ever!

My son had his 10th birthday party here, and it was a lot of fun. We did the bowling and arcade package, which was a great deal, and the kids loved it. The staff were friendly and helpful, and were even able to change our booking at the very last minute when I made a mistake with the dates. Their understanding and flexibility on that was stellar, and I will definitely be doing parties there again. Great job!

Awesome experience! Came in on a weekday with a bunch of teens. Brendan was patient, helpful, courteous and professional. He made sure our large group (three lanes) had a great experience and provided excellent service!

Go to highlands bowling in greeley. This is how my ball looked after I went there... lol Lanes, service, staff is way better. Chippers was dead, yet we waited 5 - 10 min for someone to get a lane for us. Was going to do the $10 unlimited bowling. They wouldn't allow us to use our $10 off bowling card from a b day party. We said we would bowl 3 games each, they said they can't do individual games. Ok, we will get an hr... oh wait you can only use one card. Ok, just give us 2 lanes... I can't do that.... Ok,

Recently came here for my niece's birthday party and had an exceptional experience! Taylor was extremely helpful and I will definitely be returning!

Went there last night with my family and kids at 9pm. Place wasn't that busy especially for a Friday night. Prices are too high for everything!!! More suited for Boulder. It's obvious this venue has seen better days...even though I'm a senior and I know what a good venue is this one fell short of my expectations.

I came in this afternoon with a group from UNC. The staff took wonderful care of us and my students had a blast! Thank you so much to Brenden and Keleigh (unsure of spelling) who got us into bowling lanes quick and efficiently and got nearly all my students through 3 rounds of laser tag! Thank you both so much for making this end of the semester event a success!!

Wow! What an amazing experience! We came in with a large party, which I stupidly didn't make reservations for, and they found a way to accommodate us and make the experience super memorable. Jenna and the rest of the staff were incredible and I couldn't have asked for a better evening. Thank you so much for making the night perfect!

Second update: although Shauna tried to make things right, the bowling alley was once again a let down. I used the free game they gave us to make up for the bad experience I previously had and it was another bad experience. My family and I went recently and they put us at a lane that didn't have bumpers. I asked for bumpers because I have 2 small children and they said the bumpers on our lane didn't work and just told us to use a ramp. So it was not fun for them since they couldn't hit anything even with th

We have a great time here with our kids during the days. They have made a lot of great changes to the arcade and the laser tag. Kayelie is super nice and great with kids so she always makes it a good vibe. The kiddos especially love the robot waiter that delivers the food!

Weird feel having to be escorted to your bowling lane. Lanes and ball returns are outdated and abused. If you're looking for cheap bowling, it works. Unfortunately if you're looking to improve your game, this isn't going to be the place.

We live 300 miles away from Greeley and threw our granddaughter a graduation from nursing school party. My first contact to reserve and plan was with Natasha and she was fun and easy to work with. She gave me suggestions on food and how to accommodate 25 people. She told me the manager would be there if we needed anything. We got there early to decorate and they welcomed us. Danny, Jazz and Kayelie were awesome! I was busy welcoming people and not paying attention to getting shoe sizes or names to them, the

It takes a-lot for me to 1 star. But yikes!!! Half the lanes functioning because of a stage in the middle. And the lanes that are functioning one side of the bumpers stayed up which made the game pointless. The whole joint is very grimy with dust and matted down carpets. And lastly the food was crazy pricy and extremely over fried motz sticks, so over fried the cheese blew out of it. The cook in the back didn't seem to care because I watched him hand pick out the motz sticks with his gloveless hand while he

Anyone who actually bowls should avoid this place. Dawn dish soap leaves more oil on a plate than an entire lane will have on it. Absolutely disgusting they make people pay to use these lanes.

This has been our go to family night for the last two years. We went tonight and while the updates looked nice, we found the experience to not be worth the new prices. To bowl, eat, and let our two boys play a little in the arcade, we spent $170. The arcade and prizes were nothing like before, very few points for the $42 we spent. We decided to share a pizza with onion rings on the side, and three drinks (non-alcoholic) that cost us more than going to an average restaurant. There is also a longtime emp

Took advantage of the $4.44 deal with the family and had a great time for $40. Can't beat that. Customer service was fantastic that night.

Jena and Tristan were absolutely amazing and handled all of our needs perfectly i highly recommend for a family friendly and cost effective way to have fun!

Kayelie went above and beyond to make sure 2 birthday boys had a great time! She rescued a stuck ball, was always watching and ready to get us set up with laser tag and the arcade. She really made it a great experience. I have been here before but Kayelie's stellar customer service made it soo much better! She was patient and welcoming and kind. I will be back because of her

Kayelie did it again, we came here to celebrate my sister's birthday and she made sure we were well taken care of. Like always going above and beyond.

Fun place with a variety of activities and fantastic mixed drinks!

I had never bowled here before this experience, and I can honestly say that I more than likely will not be going back. I was looking for somewhere to join a league, and back in early November i saw they were advertising for leagues to start in January. They offered a single player league which was perfect for me. I emailed the league director, Jenna, 5-7 from November to January 3rd asking and double checking that the league was going to happen. It was supposed to start on Friday January 10th @ 5:30 pm. I s

Had the place to ourselves for a bit. Service was great. Tristan was very helpful.

I hadn't been here before but I had a really good time. Nice family fun and definitely a chill place to hang and enjoy a good Thursday evening. I also like that they have live music every week on weekends. The next time I get to go I hope to hear some good music from local NOCO artists!

Joe the maintenance guy was great at solving our problems when the ball wouldn't return. Overall a good experience.

So fun! The games are so fun and they give you a challenge but it's called patiently focusing!

What ever you do don't pick this alley as a place to celebrate anything other than free time cause that's all you be giving up as their equipment and service is deplorabl. Lane ball returns don't work frequently, pins having issue resetting making your game experience less than enjoyable not to mention the extended stay attitude that is given to you if you mention you paid for a certain time not for the extra time

Okay, so bowling was fun, and the bands that played were great when our group went. HOWEVER, there currently is a promotion for if you bowl a turkey (3 strikes in a row) you win a free turkey for thanksgiving. I did this and went to go talk to a staff member about claiming my coupon for my turkey. after a while we got it all figured out and they came to my lane and gave me my coupon and took a picture (all pretty normal right now, right?) they also gave me a turkey hat to wear for the picture and said i cou

Came here for a birthday party, we hosted and the crew at the front were excellent! They were kind and understanding of all of the shoes we needed. This is the only reason for the two stars. We ordered fries which were 6$ and two pitchers of soda which were $8.95. $8.95 for not even a whole two liters of soda per pitcher. Not only this but the employees at the bar are incredibly rude. We asked for ketchup and they made it seem like the biggest inconvenience, even though they had 2 people at the bar. Seems l

This was a very regrettable trip for fathers day and fun. First, when you enter and they ask for shoe size, there is an option to wear booties for sandles which is nice to know that your good. However, my first thought going in was that the decor is not very good and why we're the seats vehicle compared to the alley so the person sitting at the edge cannot see anything happening. Then, we were waiting for our bowling shoes and we were waiting for 20 minutes and they were just standing around. If we had paid

This place is awesome!!!! I haven't bowled in a long time but these guys really took care of us. Sue and Ashley really took care of us like we were a part of the family. They have everything here from amazing deep dish pizza, awesome music, full bar, and arcade for the kids if they aren't learning to bowl. I had a great time with my co-workers here on a Saturday night. Thank you!!!!!

Sabrina was a party attendant and was AWESOME! Everything was easy, we just provided a good count and brought the cake & candles! Thanks for making it easy and the kids loved the multi-floor laser tag! Thanks again!

Jena and Tristan went above and beyond with their customer service 10 out of 10 would highly recommend!

Brandon has been so helpful and great i loved his costumer service, always fun and positive attitude <3

We had a 8 year old birthday party - we chose the laser tag option. The kids had a fantastic time as always at Chippers. The arcade has new games and looks great!

Jena and Tristan were absolutely awesome super fun family friendly place!

Kayelie was the best. We came here to celebrate my brother's birthday. Since the minute we walked in she made sure we felt welcomed and well taken care of. She definitely made sure my brother felt special on his day. Definitely will be back.

Had an absolute blast this Saturday! Had a plate of the jalape?o munchers that were amazing, and Kayelie did a fantastic job of making us feel at home and welcome. She had really fun festive makeup on and seemed like she was running around keeping everyone happy! All the other staff was super kind and helpful and compliments to the cooks in the back! Will definitely add this to the list of fun things to around Greeley!

I booked a last minute birthday party here and they are amazing definitely make it worth your time and money ! Great staff , great food and amazing service! The kids love the robo cat that delivered food around the bowling alley and have a blast at the arcade ! Laser tag is a must do ! I couldn't have been more happy with any of my experiences here!

He was very helpful , he had appropriate customer service. He's treated us so good

Our most recent visit was Saturday 4/26. The 2 younger people working at the desk were so kind and helpful getting us setup with bowling and laser tag for my son's friend group. The food was super disappointing this time. Our pizza dough was raw, so we mentioned it to the person working at the bar and he offered to put it back in for a little bit, but said it couldn't be long because the toppings would burn. I'm not sure how long it went back in for, but it was still raw when it came out the second time. I

We came here last minute for a scout event and were assisted by Jena. the service was amazing and the scouts had a great evening. wonderful atmosphere and service. Jena was great to all of the scouts! thank you all so much!

It was a lot of fun for the family. Bowling, arcade games, laser tag. Great place for some great family fun and entertainment.

I love the laser tag here! The staff were amazing, attentive, and friendly. I just wish the costs of things would come down: food is way too expensive and the arcade games are also very high-$1.25 to play one time. We were going to order food but decided to eat somewhere else first then came back. The cost certainly limits how often my family would visit this bowling alley.

Clean and spacious, we had a great time bowling here. The arcade games are awesome too, all work and are in great shape.

Service was great. Party reservation for the date was quick and easy. Everyone was friendly and no one was making us feel rushed or unwelcome. Will definitely do this again ??

We have a pretty good time when we come here. Seems pretty clean, staff is very young but helpful. My boyfriend bought some 30$ nachos, they are not for less then 4 people, holy crap they were big!

We went on a Sunday which meant that shoes and games were discounted so it only cost about $7 total for a game for two people! Affordable for broke college students. The employees were very patient as I tried to figure out what size shoe fit me. Overall, even though neither of us are the best bowlers, it was a great way to spend $7 and wind down our weekend together. We will definitely be coming more in the future.

Decent restaurant and lane prices a proper prize arcade and a bar. This is a solid place to recreate

We hosted our fundraiser for the Greeley Family House and had an amazing experience. The service, food, and drinks were great! Jaz did an amazing job and worked hard to provide excellent customer service all night~

We had our company Christmas party here. We did bowling, laser tag, the arcade, and food. We had a great time, everything was fun and the staff was very accommodating. I would recommend this place as an affordable and fun place to hold parties.

Natascha made it very easy to plan our holiday work event here! Thank you!

We love this place to bowl? Drive all the way to Brighton. They have a great special of $9.95 per person all you can bowl which is awesome given that bowling today is so expensive. All the staff is great but Aurora at the bar is particularly awesome. She is always so friendly and helpful!

We hosted our Summer School closing celebration at Chippers and it was a prefect place. Our students enjoyed themselves and felt very welcomed. Jeni the party planner was great to work with!

The bartenders here one of them is short and has a lip piercing & is a female . They took forever just to take her order and we did not even order alcohol. There was also a tall male with facial hair with glasses, and they're walking right past us. They did not tell us anything they were not close, and we went to the bartender twice and it took about 40 minutes each time for them to get our order (so 20 mins each time). There was like probably two couples before us, and it still took a very very long time j

Party was fun- the host was great and made things easy for us. The party planner Jeni makes it very easy to get a party scheduled. Well worth the $300!

Live music was so fun and staff was super friendly!

Awesome place for the kids and adult?s!!!! We fly all the way out from CA to come bowling ??. Staff is amazing. ??

Great bowling alley for decent price. They also offer laser tag if you like that. Lot of fun to roll them big balls

Dawn was so helpful explaining the arcade and the laser tag and gave us all the options it was really fun even for a first-timer

This place is so much fun. I've been coming here my whole life and I enjoy seeing the improvements this place has made over the years. The staff is very friendly and accommodating considering how busy they are. It's always a fun environment. Very family friendly!

My daughter had her 8th birthday party here. From the event planning with Jeni, the coordinator to the day of set up and hosting by Angelina A, everything was absolutely perfect. The entire staff was so friendly and kind even with multiple drink spilling accidents and there was a good variety of things for all the kids to do when they got bored of bowling. A really great experience all around and definitely a killer spot for a birthday party or just a hangout.

I have lived in 4 different states, gone to numerous bowling alleys/arcades, and this is by far the worst one I have ever been to. I have given them several chances, and they manage to get worse every time I go. The service has always been terrible, their food is tasteless, the kiosk hardly ever works (and they don't even own it!) the floors and bathrooms are gross, their arcade machines regularly steal your money, and they're severely lacking in customer service skills. They will straight up steal your mon

Jaz was absolutely outstanding. From the moment we arrived, Jaz made us feel incredibly welcome with a warm and friendly demeanor. Throughout our entire experience, Jaz was not only exceptionally helpful but went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The support we received was unparalleled, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Jaz's dedication and kindness made all the difference, and we are so grateful for the outstanding service provided.

Kayele, Liz and Angelina gave us amazing customer service! Things were speedy, they were prepared and had a great attitude! We came in with a group of about 35 people and it was a great experience- better than last year for sure!

Ricardo and Kayalie were awesome! What a fun time!! Super upgraded compared to the past. We will be back!!!

Absolutely the best night of my life. This place has amazing staff and amazing atmosphere. The people here are the best bartenders and this is the best laser tag place I've ever been.

Had my twins 9th birthday party there. Everything was great. From the planning stages through the party. They had a blast! I will definitely keep this mind for future parties.

Super nice staff, I had my birthday there and it was nice

Had my 9year olds birthday party here. Everything was handled professionally, the host had great information on everything, and all the kids had a lot of fun in between the arcade games, and all the laser tag games. I would highly recommend Chippers and we will be back to do some bowling!

The lady that helped us set up the lanes and shoes was awesome and helpful throughout our bowling experience. Our experience was unfortunately bad when it came to our other encounter with the other girl working near the arcade. We had waited behind a family that did take a bit longer as they were indecisive. I had my kids decide what they wanted as I always do so that we don't take up much time, and before she walked away she asked the other family that came after us if they were ready but since they were n

Celebrate our youngest bday over the weekend and the staff was all very kind and kept our chaos very organized for us. I was super grateful to have a dedicated party host who was available, understanding, and flexible with our group- which allowed the young and old to relax and enjoy themselves. Thanks Chippers team!

Had our son?s Birthday party here and from planning to hosting it was stress free! My son it still talking about how much fun it was three days later ?? the staff is so sweet and amazing with the kiddos. We will be back for family nights. This is our new spot ??

Great location! I'm new to Greeley and this was a great find for my 8 year old?s birthday party. The food was delicious, facility was clean and staff was friendly!

We have been several times and overall had a great experience. We went this last Monday though and it was over the top. We had our two kids 7 and 9 and were the only people there right when they opened. April and Danny took such amazing care of us and even turned on cosmic bowling for the kids since it was just us. What an amazing staff and experience!!

Has been consistently updated. Last several visits have been super impressive with very very helpful and attentive staff. Have really enjoyed the last couple visits more than ever before. Very fun, enjoyable experience.

Aurora was kind, helpful and efficient looking after everyone in the alley. And Danny, the manager, went the extra mile to make sure we had a wonderful time. What a great family experience!

HANDS DOWN THE BEST BIRTHDAY PARTY PLACE EVER!! Seriously it is worth every penny! The place is amazing, the atmosphere is awesome, and they have a robot that delivers food!!!! It was the best party my daughter has ever had and I just wanna thank every single person, especially our party host Ricardo M!!! He was amazing, on top of everything, helped us with anything we needed and made things so easy! RICARDO M, YOU ROCK!

The place is really cool, the arcade is small but is very fun! The entire staff is really friendly and helpful, but Angie stood out as amazing and very helpful! We will definitely be back!

Really nice inside and great customer service. I wish the arcade prices were reduced about 30%. We would definitely spend more money in there with more reasonable prices. Overall an awesome time!

Loved my experience here! Kaylie,Sam and jordyn were awesome. I'm from out of town and my phone was dying, the staff offered me their personal charger which was a game changer.

They've really upgraded since the last time I went and its a nice place, however I think bars serve cheaper alcohol.

The bowling alley was not very clean. There was not a lot to choose from for balls, and the balls were dirty right along with the lanes being dirty as well. The drinks were good. ??

Price is great if you are taking the kids bowling for fun. Seating and service is great. It gets crowded quick on the weekends. The lanes are not great but for kids it's fine. No pro shop

Angelina is a very kind and helpful worker, she helped me figure out an issue I had online for a reservation. She helped us get settled in and it was a very easy transaction I truly appreciate her work.

We had our son?s 7th birthday party here and I can't say enough good things. We had a blast. We bowled, played laser tag and played in the arcade. Pizza was a bit salty but kids loved it:) would definitely recommend.

Great place to visit, Atmosphere is always fun with music 24/7 and all the arcade games work. Excellent service and friendly staff. Bartender April always provides a great experience. Best bowling alley in greeley!

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.”

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?

Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
