Customer Reviews

From the time of check-in to the point of the party ending, the staff were exceptional. Anna from management kept checking on us to make sure that we had everything we needed, Amanda took care of our party wonderfully, at no point in time i felt i needed something and they were not around, other staff also were super attentinve and kept checking on us making sure we were pleased and that we had everything we needed. The booking process online was so smooth and easy, and I even had to call 2 hours before the

I had a nice experience here 1st time When i was here. The white guy at the reception desk was super nice. We brought my tumbler and unfinished coffee with me and i ordered drinks and food and i spent 2 hours there.This is the 2nd time we are here. We had a cup with us like and this female in the reception desk wit hlong hair and glasses told us unfriendly When We checked in that no drink and food is allowed. I was carrying my tumbler and unfinished coffee like the first time no food with us. But Fine, i pu

Employees were great. They made sure we had everything we needed so we could enjoy the experience. They brought my 7 yr old the little ball so that he didn't have to struggle with the heavier ones. Server was great. I think they all need a raise. I own and operate a few businesses myself and good employees are hard to find and great employees are even harder to find. You guys have done a great job with your customer service. I love how there are no steps in or around the bowling area. It's all one level whi

Made a reservation for two tonight and the manager of the night was so kind! Checked up on us a couple of times! Even offered to refill my drink for me! We got a cute little gift bag it was all great and made our date night a night to remember! Thank you Bowlero Apopka for your hospitality!

We took our family to Bowlero for their daytime New Years eve celebration and it did not disappoint! The price was amazing for everything we got, our table was decorated and had our name on it which our daughter love, and the staff was amazing! This is be our new tradition!

Had my Grandson's 5th birthday ?? here with 18 of his friends from school. 3 sets of grandparents & such a great time. ?? the host were kind & friendly. Made the hours fly by. ??% recommend this location.

We always have a wonderful time here. The people are very nice, everything looks brand new, and it's so much fun! Highly recommend!!

it was a sad experience! at the time when we were relaxing with families with children, we were simply asked to go outside, they did not give us the opportunity to finish the game and eat the food we bought from them! after that they simply threatened to call the police if we did not free the playground for someone else! WE WERE NOT WARNED ABOUT THIS IN ADVANCE! OUR CHILDREN LEFT THIS ESTABLISHMENT IN TEARS! the evening was ruined! the staff did not want to help in any way in solving the problem that occurr

We had a fantastic time! The staff was very nice and the facility was clean and worked well. There were six of us. We got two lanes and we bowled six games. It was awesome! Highly recommend this place for a good time.

The slow ball return and glitches in pin set-ups can be frustrating as they cause delays in play, especially during league bowling. Bathrooms are not always functional and need deep cleaning, but other general improvements have occurred except for the torn up uncomfortable chairs, which evoke an unpleasant feel to legs. Nevertheless, the current management is kinder and more understanding than the former unpleasant manager, who acted like he wished everyone would leave, and some did and never returned.

I just started back bowling after several years I normally bowl on Friday afternoons. Cris has always helped me get checked in except for one time he was off for the day. Cris is friendly and helpful with everything thing I need. He checks up on us during the 2 hours I'm there bowling. Being a business owner like myself you always want your employees to treat customers with respect, even when some people are a pain to deal with. I think Cris is a very valuable employee to the company. I normally will wait t

The employees were super nice, the place was clean. My only annoyance was the manager was a little too pushy about their summer all you can bowl. Made me a bit uncomfortable tbh.

I've been in this area for almost a decade and finally came with the family tonight! The customer service was top notch, the drinks were great and we had a blast! Wayne personally thanked us for coming, service like that is hard to come by! I will definitely be a regular! Linda & Crystal were also sweet and amazing and Chris personally welcomed us! How could we not come back! Thank you so much for the hospitality.

Our go to spot for bowling in Apopka. With the many lanes for bowling, an arcade, and a full-service bar and grill, there's something for everyone to enjoy. My kids had a blast bowling and playing games, and we all enjoyed the delicious food. We'll definitely be back soon!

My family an i had an awesome time but we did have a problem because when we did check in they told us 6$ per game and it was our first time here and so we all played and since we thought oh its cheap we played more than 1 game and when we went to checkbout they told us 6$ per game and per person so they miscommunicated that to us and they didnt do nothing about it just said sorry and didnt help us out which is not about the money is they miscommunicated that if we knew that we would of decided how many gam

Great place to have some fun with friends! The atmosphere is wonderful, and the employees are very kind! The lanes are well maintained and very smooth, and the add on arcade is a brilliant place to finish a fun night with!

great service! my 8 year old daughter lost her tooth and her mood went from 0 to 100 real quick!

Great way to start our first day with our Travel League. Very clean and we were the only ones there that early. Staff was really friendly and go above and beyond in helping.

Lanes were very clean, food was great and it was a very fun time! We were able to bowl three games in just under 2 hours and had a blast at the arcade. Staff was very friendly.

Always a great time. Clean, friendly. Chris is so nice and always makes are bowling a great experience. They lucky to have him.

This place was absolutely AMAZING! The staff from the front desk to the restaurant were a class act! We WILL be back for another date day!! ??????

Best place ever it's so fun and Tina can shut up frfr

The price is basically $22 person. I think it's too pricey but service and food is nice and experience.

Don't go with a Groupon? the Groupon is for 2 hours and it takes them 25 minutes to fix an issue on your lane and won't add the time back for you to finish your game.. waste of time and money

To the eye this was a very nice place the lanes was even OK except for the mechanical part the lanes I was on I had 2 lanes and I'm telling you they knocked over pins. Every other frame it was knocking over single pins put in the wrong score up there I probably didn't bullet alleys that was 25 years older than this place that function better as far as the pin centers and the score board. Almost every other frame we had to change the score because of bad mechanical problems with the machines that I'm believa

I can't express just how satisfied I am with this bowling alley! It was my first time at this bowling alley and planned a month in advance for my daughter?s 6th birthday party with friends and family. Walking in, I was immediately blown away. It was so clean, inviting, and organized at this location. Hands down one of the best bowling allies I've ever been too. The General Manager, Chris. knew exactly who and what I was there for when I walked in. He greeted us, acknowledged us, and he made sure I had every

i just got off a 12 hr shift and my kids begged me to come i didnt want to. when i came here my mood changed so quick, ive never been happier at a bowling alley til i came here

Very friendly staff and great facility. A lot of young people laughing and having fun. Staff remembered me after my 3rd visit. Good is fast and good. Very very clean. Arcade is okay.

Good experience. Server could have been more attentive. Lanes were nice kids had fun.

It's was a decent bowling place. It was our first time. We only stayed for about an hour. We were just wasting some time before a movie. We will definitely make another trip.

Brought our son and 3 of his friends for his 13th birthday celebration. They LOVED it! Even the picky eaters loved the food. They had pizza, wings, fries, big pretzels and chocolate chip cookies. I had cauliflower bites and they were amazing!! The entire staff was helpful and friendly?all smiles! It was about a 35 minute drive for us, but is now our go-to bowling alley. Clean and modern. The boys also enjoyed the arcade. Book online and get a few ?goodies?.

This bowling ally is recently remodeled. Prices are fair they have food and a bar inside. They have pool tables and other things to do there as well. They have different times during the week that you can save on your rentals.

Bowlero Apopka is the perfect place to spend a Saturday moving your body while enjoying the thrill of bowling, sipping on cold beers, and bonding with family. The vibrant atmosphere is filled with laughter and excitement, creating a fun and lively experience for everyone. From the sound of crashing pins to the delicious aroma of snacks, Bowlero Apopka offers a fantastic blend of entertainment and relaxation. So, gather your loved ones, lace up your bowling shoes, and get ready for a day filled with endless

My Place to Bowl and spend Good Time !!! Nice People and Beautiful Families ... The Crew Members are Awesome ... And the Chocolate Chips, NOO WAYY !!! From other constellation

Price is very deceiving. $10 per game and $6 for shoes. But then they clarify in very small font that it is per person. AFTER you are done, of course. So 3 games for 2 people go from $40 to $80 plus tax and tip. It was my bad for not noticing the small print I guess...

I was looking forward to joining another sport shot league and saw that one was posted on their website. However, when I arrived, I was told that only two people had signed up. Before coming, I reached out via email to confirm if the league was going to run, and I was given a definite "yes." So why didn't the staff give us a heads-up that it wasn't happening? It felt like a huge waste of time, especially since I drove an hour to get there, as there aren't many bowling alleys nearby. Maybe this is why Bowler

It was a fun experience. It wasn't overly crowded considering that I had gone on a Sunday night. It was my first time bowling here and won't be my last. The pizza (very cheesy) was also good, and the employees seemed pretty cool. Other people should head on here for the experience.

They always make sure we're well taken care of, especially my special needs daughter so she has fun. The staff are ALL amazing!

Very nice staff and lanes. Will definitely be going back

Nice community and pretzel bites were pretty good. Def better with mustard than the cheese

The location is filled with activities for the entire family, as well as friends. The Staff is very friendly and helpful, and the people are all very pleasant. There are enough lanes for big groups, without a worry of it being crowded. The only complaint is the food prices which are very expensive for the amount of food that is offered.

We booked a family package online for my son's birthday. We arrived at the bowling alley and were greeted immediately. The entire staff was friendly and welcoming. The place is large (40 lanes) and very clean (no funky smells). The kids started bowling and we ordered pizza, wings, fries, pretzels and cookies. The food was very good and large portions. The manager came over to say hi and thank us for booking online. She gave us a goodie bag and gift cards for the kids to play in the arcade. Overall, I would

Wish I knew the man's name at the counter because he was amazing and very helpful. Great experience and always a good time.

Went to bowl to get some practice in with my friends

Sundays. 6pm.. Why am i told aleays been 7pm like this gurl runs it all. Apparently website needs update?. Lol

Schedule event with 20 + people the staff was very helpful and friendly when it came to planning event. Special thanks to Jason and Marissa for the assistance during the event

Loved this place nice and clean and the price was not bad

I had fun with my family there but the price was too expensive. Also they barely play any music through the time we was there. I wish the price wasn't that much lol. The food was also expensive but at least we had fun over there.

great place for casual fun. the staff is friendly and helpful good times.

Simon was the manager on site when we attended for my son's birthday party. We decided to switch up and attend the Strike Night without using a reservation. We only needed two lanes and I went an hour early to get in line. Not only did he make sure we received our two lanes, but he was able to add a third right next to it and get our whole party in. The staff (from the ones behind the shoe counter to the food counter) we're all super helpful and accommodating!! My son had a great night with his friends and

Saturday 10/19/24 My family and I went bowling from about 5 PM to 8 PM, which gave us around three hours to play just nine games between my daughter and me. She has her own shoes, so I only had to rent mine. I remember bowling as a kid for around $30 total. However, this time, those nine games cost me about $207, and we spent another $30 on food. I'm not sure how the cost translates to fun?my daughter had a great time beating me, and we enjoyed ourselves until we saw the bill. I wouldn't recommend this plac

It was fun and the staff were very helpful and friendly

Over all Great experience . Place was super clean i was greeted the minute i walked in . The staff here is very attentive & welcoming ! Definitely recommend

I was a bit confused abt the game numbers. My partner and i paid close to $50 for 4 games(I thought) and bowling shoes but felt like we played 2 games. I guess it differs everywhere...Will still recommend this place to anyone, the place is clean, the staff is friendly and snacks and drinks are available. Walk with a pair of socks though, I forgot??

Absolutely love coming here with my friends and family!

Bowling alley was good but the food is trash especially the pizza

Use Groupon if you want to go here. Do not pay the regular price it's stupidly expensive. Besides that, it is very well kept and has all the events you could want. 8/10

We consistently have a great time at this location. This last weekend, despite it being busy on a Saturday night, all of the staff was super pleasant and quick for service. Ty, especially, was smiling, welcoming and just a joy to encounter after a long day. Highly recommend this place for some family fun.

We bought a Groupon for six. Chris who i believe is the manager. If he wasn't, he should be. Either way, he was so helpful and welcoming. Very smooth transaction. Checked on my family throughout the evening and was very polite about everything. We will return for bowling again and Chris and his staff are a big part of the reason.

Experience wise it was nice, but the misleading specialty deal they have going on is why I'm reviewing. It states, 2 games at 10$ a game get the third for 7$ and shoes rentals for 5$ a person, it also includes a free 5$ arcade card per person. It was just me and my partner. So realistically the price should?ve been 37$ plus tax I was expecting around 50$ at most? total price was 68$ for 3 games a pair of shoes each and 2 5$ arcade cards (free). Maybe I'm slow and can't add numbers properly then again maybe

Ty and Wayne best customer service so far very helpful .. reasonable prices!!!! we had a blast!!!

Had a little Birthday Party for my son and made reservations online. Everything went so smoothly and the staff and manager were so helpful and friendly! Servers came out pretty fast to take our order and food came out quickly as well! Will definitely be back!

I took my 13 year old daughter and 5 of her friends here to just have a good night. I purchased a Groupon for 6 people, but it was after 6 pm (that's what I get for not reading the fine print), so I ended up having to pay AGAIN??. Albert, the guy that rained on my parade, didn't want to let up either. Thankfully, Jake, the manager, was there to save the night. He also let me use my military discount, which helped out tremendously being that I purchased the Groupon specifically for this outing. The concess

Clean, friendly but unorganized . We ordered 160.00 of food I was missing two items, and it was never replaced or refunded

Went with two large family for Mother's Day weekend. We had great service especially from Chris and Jordan J. The place was very clean, and the food was delicious and was served in a timely manner. Thank you to all the staff.

Very clean, fun way to beat the heat. Customer service is above and beyond Michael hand picked out balls for younger kids, table side service for drinks and food. You don't see genuine service like this much anymore

It is a great place and I would definitely come again

I really enjoy the atmosphere here. I brought my ball at the pro shop. It was fast n easy n within 15min of purchase I received my ball The staff is attentive, helpful n courteous always willing to attend to your needs A fun place to bring the family. I love it

I always have a good experience at this bowlero. I rarely have a problem of any kind with the lanes. And they have automated bumpers for kids that do work. The staff has always been very friendly. The main negative thing is that I don't like the staggered table setup at the lanes. I wish they had a more typical experience with 2-3 seats close to the lane and then the tables behind would be fine. It's not a deal breaker, but does subtract a star. It sucks when you get the back table. The arcade also isn't

Such a nice alley! The people are friendly, lots of specials, a great pro shop, and lots of league options. Update: Joined a league. Still an awesome place to bowl!

Very nice staff.... Great pizza. BBQ fries to die for... Get light BBQ seasoning

Had so much fun with my friends!

Everything was great the employees also were extremely helpful kind aswell as knowledgeable I would recommend this place to anyone my son and I had a great time . Would love to go again soon .

We had a blast, enjoying our couple of days of Spring break at Brunswick Zone Wekiva????

I really like the customer service; the manager is always paying attention to the customers asking if they need anything, love that they have an arcade.

Very very nice bowling alley. Super friendy staff and my 6yo loved every minute.

Really liked the nighttime cosmic bowling. Check the website for weekly specials. Different specials for different days of the week. You can sign up to get coupons sent your email.

This place is not wekiva lanes used to be. Been coming to this location for 15 years.Prices are not posted online or at the counter, severely overpriced and young guy up front is a jerk. Wish Bud and Mike were the owners. I'll come for maintenance but will not be bowling here anymore.

Family friendly, real nice.

I've been coming here since the 90s. Always a fun time.

Excellent experience. Great service super clean and we even did the summer season pass. We can now bowl two games everyday until Sept 2nd. Wow!

I think this is bowling in general- but it adds up quickly. $13pp incl shoes for one game, $4 for a soda and $7 for other menu items like fries or hot dogs. Comparible to the movies, but you find one game is never enough! Groupon is the way to go with most recent deal of $45 for 2 hours bowling for 4 people including shoes. We chose to go early Friday evening, but there's a couple of specials on Friday late nights and Sunday's (as per their website). It's always a good time and lives up to the expectations

I can't say enough good things about this place. The atmosphere is awesome. But what makes it great is the effort by Ty and Alexis. If they are there you are guaranteed to have a good time. I'll continue to come here just for those two alone.

Great place to take the family bowling...my kids are crazy everywhere they go! Neon lights on all lanes with automatic bumpers for the kids. Great food as well!

This place seems old and is woefully understaffed, the staff were working their butts off, specifically the two ladies who were working the resturaunt/bar or whatever you call it, nonetheless our experience was pretty good, food was good, would come again

This place is amazing, it's clean, lovely and fast customer service. The food is awesome too, I definitely recommend checking this place out and even bring the whole fam!

If you are trying to take your family here on a Wednesday night don't bother they will turn you away so I will never come back again so thank you I'm taking my business elsewhere maybe you should update on your website you close at seven.

Great experience, nice looking place lots of screens. Our lanes kept messing up but they were quick to fix it. Would go again.

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.
