Booked a birthday part recently for my son and some of his friends. Overall we had an amazing time and will definitely be returning. The food package was great! In my past experience, typically when one goes to an event venue like this, the food is just ok. Not the case here! Everything was actually very tasty, hot, and fresh! Madeline who booked us was super helpful in explaining and clarifying my confusion and got me exactly the right package (and even saved me a few dollars!). Justin, the manager at th
Best service I may have ever received from any business before! We brought our 127 students here for a field trip, and I can't express the MANY ways they went above and beyond! I will be using them for every trip from here on out. They had great customer service, very clean, accommodated our needs to open early since we were a school which allowed us to be the only ones there, made things as simple as possible for us to get started when we got there, gave us extra time since we were 15 minutes late, had a c
This was an amazing experience we had family fun and it was awesome. I would recommend this bowling alley to anyone and everyone if you're in Lakeland it is a must
Groupon has a wonderful wonderful deal for the bowling alley especially for your children the food was very delicious and very reasonable it was well worth the money I would definitely buy that Groupon again
The summer passes the greatest deal may be in existence I come here every single day and I absolutely love it. The people here are amazing. Marcy is the absolute best person I've ever been around and I love her so much and I couldn't do it without her. Also, the people are so hospitable and I absolutely love it here. I would go here every day if I could I absolutely love the summer pass.
We enjoyed our visit there with my mother, adult children and grandchildren. Marcy was very helpful and courteous. She was hands on with any help we needed along with her other employees. Amanda?s service was excellent. We always had what we needed. Food was good and kept warm for us. The bowling alley was very clean and easy access to everything we needed. We had a wonderful experience. Thank you !!! Looking forward to our next visit.
I just want to say thank you to the Manager, Justin Garrison. My family and I have been going to Bowlero for a long time but we end up having one bad experience. Justin responded to my message right away and took care of us. My family and I got to bowl for 2 hours and had a great time. We love bowling and we will come back again. Thank you again Justin so very much. Jennifer
Great outing for company appreciation. I was an invited guest to a local company?s holiday employee appreciation event. The food and drinks were catered by Bowlero and I was pleasantly pleased. We had plenty of food for our party of 20 and there was plenty of food leftover. The staff provided us with complimentary takeaway containers.The food buffet station was set up near our lanes and there was an assortment of pizza, chips and dip, chicken fingers, buffalo wings, salad, mac and cheese and even fried shri
My BFF took the family out for a late afternoon of bowling ?? I really liked the atmosphere, customer service, and food! I kept telling my BFF that the wings were really good, not dry and tasteless, lol ?? The bathrooms and common areas were also very clean. We will definitely come back ????
Loved Bowlero! Amanda was our server and she was TOP notch! Super sweet and super funny. An all around great experience for my birthday! (Also my mom?s birthday!) Amanda?s fun personality made it that much better!
Bowlero Lakeland was great. They have many lanes and plenty of bowling balls of various weights and plenty of shoes. You can have young children use bumpers so their ball is not going in the gutter every time. The snack bar has a great variety of food, we loved the flatbread pizza and the pretzel sticks appetizer. They also have a small arcade but you need to purchase a card to use the machines with the least expensive card being $10. We had a great time and it made the rainy day pass away quicker.
We attended a charity event there for the Polk County Bully Project and everything was perfect. Friendly staff and organized. Will definitely make the drive to lakeland. We had an absolutely fantastic time!
Had a great time. My boyfriend loves to come here. The atmosphere is fun and energetic! The food and drinks are great!
We had a really fun Date Night at the Lanes event at the Lakeland AMF for the clients and friends of Focus Group Florida, Keller Williams Realty. Lynn gave excellent service. She was on top of everything (even though it was a very business Saturday night) and had a great attitude. We had plenty of food, and when the strawberries we ordered for desert weren't delivered to the alley, Manager Mark stepped up and subbed out something different for our desert trays. We had pizzas, garlic parmesan boneless wings,
Been coming for over year now, at first just for fun then I bought a couple balls, shoes and now I am in league. Thank you Lakeland Bowlero team for making me feel welcomed every time I come!
We had my son's birthday there on 03/14/21. Manager was wonderful and very professional. Our waitress was sweet and on point. She also made amazing drinks. The rest of the staff was very accommodating. We had an amazing time bowling, playing games and pool in the little acarde.
We had a great bowling experience at Bowlero! Groupon had an awesome deal for 2 hrs of bowling and shoes ???? I would highly recommend if you have littles, get an additional lane, as the guard rails cannot adjust for each bowler. You either have to have them up the entire time, or down. Aside from that, our server was phenomenal, great music, very clean facility, and the game room was a bonus!
Stopped in to drop off a couple old balls to get counter balance holes filled, resurfaced, thumb opened up and new finger tip grips. I also needed to get a new ball drilled (Tim had it done in about 30 minutes). It was a good visit with the guys in the Pro Shop. Rolled a game with the new ball and headed home. Hard to believe during the mid afternoon on a Monday a game of bowling is $7.
Very expensive and dated. There were hardly any people yet they made us bowl right next to other people and use a table on the upper deck instead of close to the lanes when we had a big party and kids.
They handled our large party on a Friday night with ease, even though leagues had most of the lanes. Actually turned out to not be too expensive either.
My family had a great time! The atmosphere was very family friendly and the specials were pretty cool.
Yesterday was the first time I've heard of this bowling alley and the first time I went . Environment was great for family food was amazing and staff was polite and informative . I will be back if I am in the area with my cheer girls again . It was a great way for us to end our Sunday .. the general manager was Awesome !!!
The place is nice but they give a terrible service. They ordered food and they served me something I didn't order. I didn't want to be rude. I tried to accept it but it was too salty and I told them they made me pay for it because I had tried it and they are very racist.
Today is the 2nd time I've been to this alley since moving to Lakeland. Completly surprised at how good the quality and taste of the food is! Never thought Boweling Alley food could be good. Our waitress was Amanda and she took care of my boys and was great to chat with. Clean, family friendly, and fun atmosphere. Also, great summer special - unlimited games 7 to 11 pm and unlimited refills on sodas. My teens had a good time.
Bryanna is by far the best server in house. She knows her regulars and always knows their orders and for some already has them on the table before getting to the alley.
Obvious why they are going out of business. Dingy and gross. Food sucks. Over priced. Overall experience was just annoying
Had a great time Tue night at Bowlero, staff was great and nice atmosphere. Will definitely be going back
tiffany served us saturday night, she kept our drinks full and our family fed! we will definitely be back!??
Nice place but each game per person is not wallet-friendly. One game for seven people cost over $100.00. Granted, five shoe rentals were necessary but I would never go back at standard price. Would only go back if they had a special rate.
Management are disrespectful, Justin the employee is very entitled to his coworkers & customers. Unprofessional speaking & too much sass to point people don't take him seriously.
Lots of family fun. It's very clean and food was decent.
This place is horrible! The bathroom ceilings were rotting. While we were bowling both times it stopped out games mid game and we had to wait for the person to fix it and they had no idea what happened. Our last game it skipped 2 of the players not allowing anyone to play, I told the desk person and he just seemed frustrated with is. He was not kind at all. We also ordered 2 orders of chicken fingers and french fries and the woman ?forgot? to ring in the fries for one order and we never got them because the
Clean as a whistle & Perfect Bowling atmosphere. The pins can sometimes act up... But that may be user error ?? (No Pool Table) ?? Bar, Restaurant and Arcade ready for action! ??Sign up Before you Go to get Rewarded?? ?????? 9/10 #Will definitely Go again. #Clean is Key at AMF ?? #MemoriesLastALifetime ??
Perfect for family fun night. John was awsome, he was very sweet and helpful. Deff recommend this place. Had lot of fun with the kids!
Awesome birthday party experience! We did a family party for 4 kids. We chose the ?turn key? option as Melissa called it. Plenty of food for everyone, 2 hours of bowling and the best cookie cake I think I've ever had. The package also included a full time attendant?we got Amanda and she was AWESOME! She was quick, kind, and attentive. The manager, Justin, was also very involved making sure we got everything we needed to get started. 10 out of 10 recommend!
Great birthday party for my 4 year old. Had a super time everyone loved the party and the staff was super attentive and efficient. They really went above and beyond for us. The food was yummy we had everyone take home some leftovers. Everything was really clean and super kid friendly.
We will visit on another day rather than a Saturday next time. Way to busy for the staff to handle without reservations.
We had the best customer service since COVID in 2020. Serena and Bryan were the best. Helped us completely. Took care of us all night! They are the best and the reason we will go back! Thanks for a wonderful evening!
Marcy was amazing energy and perfect help for my weekly league games I get free for joining thank you
Went and had a good time with friends. Things started kinda on a bad foot, the clerk at the reception desk was not very friendly and although we paid for the after party bowl, due to a league thing going on it was a bit dampened. However our server Amanda was amazing and spoke with the manager and we were moved to another lane and the lights turned out and music turned up and the evening was amazing. Amanda was fun and friendly and made sure we were taken care of. Our night ended much better than it began
Had a large party for a corporate event and the original venue fell through. Bowlero Lakeland not only accommodated us on short notice but seemed genuinely happy to do so. Food was better than most alleys and bartenders knew their stuff. Bowling area was well maintained and clean.
Justin the GM was very helpful, informative and all around great customer service.
I had a fantastic time at Bowlero! The atmosphere was lively and fun, perfect for a night out with friends or family. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our visit. They made sure we had everything we needed and were quick to assist with any questions we had about the games and activities. The lanes were well-maintained, and the arcade area had a great selection of games that kept everyone entertained. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and I would definitely recommend Bowlero for
Fun reward for a 6 yr old! Expensive, look for the Groupon in advance. 3 people, 3 shoe rentals, 1 game = $35+.
Very clean facility. Manager meets you first thing. Waitress was just a doll. Smiled and made our requests her priority. The pizza and chix fingers were excellent. What a fun place for multiple ages.
Had a great time bowling. The place was clean. All the bowling shoes were in great shape. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Marci was fantastic. She greeted us when we came in. Always made sure we had what we needed and even went the extra mile when I requested something special. Will definitely be back.
Awesome Bowling alley! Great for entire family! Group rates and accommodations! The kids loved it! FUNNEL CAKE FRIES are a must buy! Justin and his staff went above and beyond to make sure our experience was great!
We had our birthday party at Bowlero and it was amazing. We plan on doing it there every year. Super clean, the food was really good and fresh and our server Amanda was so wonderful and attentive- our food and drinks didn't run low at all. Amanda was so sweet. Marcie was great too with coordinating everything with our party- they even decorated our lanes. Seriously had an amazing time. Thank you Bowlero!
I used the Pro Shop here, and bought a new bowling ball and bag from Tim. You will not meet a nicer person, Tim was so helpful he bent over backwards to help me make my selection. Tim was not pushy at all he listened to me and helped me find the perfect bowling ball. Thank you Tim, you are amazing!!!
I had a wonderful experience Bowling. The service was great, and our server Amanda was always attentivene. Her attentiveness and friendly demeanor truly impressed us. We felt well taken care of throughout our meal, and Amanda's professionalism and genuine warmth added to the overall enjoyment of our experience. I highly recommend this place, especially with Amanda as your server. You won't be disappointed!
Friendly, helpful. Good bar food. Clean.
It had been 6 years before going bowling yesterday (too long) had lot of fun. We didn't have any problems with the lanes or computer everything worked great. The guy at the front desk was friendly. Will definitely try and go more often!
Will never be returning. Was told over the phone and in person 2 different, inaccurate prices and the grand total ended being more than that. $76 for 3 games for 2 people is crazy!! These employees need more training and need to know the prices within their establishment. An apology was barely given and the girls up front did not seem to care as it was their doing in giving us the complete wrong information. What was supposed to be a fun night turned completely around, leaving us very disappointed. Please d
Visited today with my husband and played a couple of games. The staff were super friendly and very helpful when one of arcade machines ate my tokens. Multiple arcade machines were broken, but not labeled out of order. They said they didn't own them, but seeing a review from weeks ago with similar complaint me think they need to get the vendor in asap. Concession seems overpriced and on par with movie theater prices, which I wasnt expecting. Will definitely be back in the future.
Marcy made our night better after some tech issues with our lane. We will return. The other employees were also very cordial and fun. They were all willing to chat and direct us on how to have a better evening at their facility
We went around 9 pm on a Saturday. First time going but will not be our last. The environment was family friendly smiles all around, especially from the ladies at the counter. Patient, friendly helpful, knowledgeable, and attentive are just a few of the words I would use to describe them. When we went They had a special going bowl till they closed for around 29.94 per person shoes included it was 4 dollars cheaper to bowl 2 games. I would recommend Bowlero for date night birthdays family functions or just t
It's okay but not the best bowling place. The lanes are always dry and I mean always dry. My wife and I bought the summer passes for 2 free games a day and were told we can use them whenever we want because lanes are always open. What they did not tell us was that the majority of the lanes are reserved for tournaments or birthday parties. Have gone up there a few times just to be told it would be a 2 hour wait and this was shortly after it opened. If you get there right when it opens at noon on a weekday yo
Nice bowling ally a little hard to concentrate with the movies playing. Nice employees.
My family of six had a great time at Bowlero. Amanda was our server she made sure we were taken care of. Food came out hot and fast. She checked on us throughout our time there. The atmosphere was good and pleasant
Very nice place, but the prices are crazy. Be prepared to spend a lot for a family.
What a great place! Who knew "bowling alley" food could be good? Bowlero! Justin and his team were amazing and made sure all our needs were addressed. It's clean and there are plenty of fun things to do for everyone. I highly recommend this place!!! Thank you Bowlero Team!!!!
Nice visit, no major complaints. Everything worked well. Only issue was the misspelling of "Monday Mayhem" on the sign out front.
Bowling here is super fun with a small group or a whole crowd! I've been on Tuesdays & Saturdays and both are a great time. AMF offers accessible bowling options (ramps for rolling the ball, as well as gutter guards), so my family was able to bowl with our grandmother. Unfortunately, gutter bumpers can't be set per player, so we had to all use them. But that's just part of the strategy for some people. ;) The food is tasty; however, it is fairly greasy and can get expensive if you don't keep track of your
Kevin was a great help and we really appreciated him and the whole staff. Only negative is the register requested tip on the bowling (separate from the food/drinks)
Great staff, great lanes, my go to spot to go to bowling, as well they host a large range of leagues that are always fun to participate in, would highly recommend this bowling alley. Would give it 10 stars if I could.
This pricing is crazy! $204 for two people, two hours. For $40 more, I can go to Universal Studios For the whole day.
Manager makes special accommodations for customers. Families are welcome here and Wed night bowling is the best. League's get priority but they make it great for all after they are finished
We always have fun but we played 3 games for 2 of us and it was $74! That is a crazy price to pay for bowling! We had fun and didn't buy anything except for the lane & shoes. The prices make it not worth it.
Yesterday? We made a reservation in advance, so all we had to do is walk in and give our names and we bowled for 2 hours. Food was ok. It was nice and clean. Only thing is there was only one cashier to get everybody?s food/drinks so you would have to wait in the line to order.
Nice and clean ..we usually go in the morning. We haven't bowled in like 20 yrs so we went and it was a nice day out and they keep there shoes clean and heavly spray them big plus for me cause I cringe thinking of how many feet have been in them .??
Everyone was so nice and helpful, it was very clean also. The food and drinks were great too.
Terrible place, wouldn't let me bring my water in.
They are more expensive than Maple Lanes to bowl. For what possible reason?
Me and my boyfriend went there to enjoy playing bowling. So we order food first and we was going bowl. The service was bad the staff in the food court kept looking at us like we were from Mars, yes we are black. So I think the experience there was not good and I will never go there no more . I move from, Orlando and I never seen so many races people in Lakeland it's unbelievable. Lakeland suck! Period??
Really good experience and good service. Only some of the tv screens were on which looked weird, and there are NO gluten free options here so you will have to keep that in mind. Half of my group needed to find food somewhere else, but the bowling was good!
Our server Amanda was delightful, She was very attentive to me and my guests, I come to Lakeland on vacation to visit my family and we decided to have a night out for some full and ended the night super satisfied, We will definitely be returning, Service like her?s is worth returning!! Take great care of her!! Thank you!
Pricing on their website and actually hanging on the wall in the alley aren't accurate. They advertise a buy 2 get 1 free special with $4.50 games before 6 and $6 games after 6 on Fridays. We got there at 5 and were told the pricing is now $10 per game and premium pricing starts at 4. Not a small difference by any means, and the sign with the incorrect pricing was still hanging by the entrance.
Had such an amazing time on a weekend busy night. Staff was very accommodating. I had an arrange of ages of people in my family and it was good energy. Would recommend to anyone on Lakeland or someone who was visiting!
I got served by Amanda, she was nice, fast, and social. Hire more Amanda?s!!!
3 kids 1 game $52? $15 fee, $7 shoes plus the game. What a rip off! Then $10 each for a 2nd game. No wonder kids play video games. You won't get the next generation into bowling with these prices.
Came in with a large party and Kevin D. Gave us the best service I could ask for. Was very attentive and quick with our orders, I will be coming back next time I'm in town.
Shoutout to Serena for being the best! She always takes good care of us and the lane is always on point and perfect. They are always busy because they have different leagues going on, but I love to sit down and watch/learn from the leagues. Also, the food there is so so much better than other bowling places. However, it's a hit or miss when it comes to getting someone attention for your food orders. Overall, highly recommend coming here and enjoy fun nights with your family and friends.
So much fun. Clean. Good staff. Shoes were nice and new... But the balls are not as nice as winter hvn bowling alley my group all decided. If they had bigger finger holes or were nicer balls and flooring i wld say this place was perfect
Our family of 14 had a wonderful time bowling at Bowlero in Lakeland. The staff were very friendly. This was a short notice unplanned trip and the staff accommodated us and catered our food. We had pizzas and boneless chicken wings and unlimited soda drinks. The food was delicious and all my family members enjoyed it.
Game was fun? but I paid for 2 games they ended up charging me for 6. Then the lady demanded a second form of payment from me?. So both my bank and credit card charged me? I wouldn't come back to this location at all?
Amanda was my server and the service was amazing. She consistently made sure my table had everything needed. Couldn't ask for a better server. I will be back.
Had my daughter 17th July party on March 16th at 2pm. It was awesome. The decorations, food , was amazing. General manager was so nice and sweet her name was Serena. The Hostess was great, bri was her name. I Was just a little late, they was very nice about it and they started our party 2 hours at the time that we started bowling not exactly at 2:00 p.m. kept the food and drinks filled. And the music was great too. We will be going back for sure. ??
Field trip for school 3rd through 12th grade. The kids and chaperones had a great time.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
