Love being here. Teenage granddaughter bowls here with her school and recreational. Great environment, clean, modern. Staff is helpful, educational, and make you feel welcome. Awesome food choices.
Only bowled here once in my stepsons birthday, but the visit I made recently was to the pro shop to have his new bowling ball drilled. I HIGHLY recommend him, he was very thorough and asked a ton of questions to make sure we got what we wanted. Anytime I have a bowling ball that needs drilled or any work done with one, I will most definitely take it back to him at the pro shop.
Highland lanes is our favorite bowling ally. It's super clean, the staff is great and the chicken bacon ranch pizza is delicious ??
Great place to have a birthday party, and evening or afternoon of fun! Great staff! Right now they have kids bowl free on certain days and times. This last till August.
Great place to bowl. Staff here are helpful and caring.
The place it's self is clean and pretty nice looking. Really good to see something in Hillsboro not be ran down. Acrade games were ok. Not a ton of selection as far as actual games you can play but it had the major players. Staff wasn't super friendly but they got the job done.
Lanes always have plenty of oil. Enjoy bowling during the weekdays and can't beat the price.
Really only entertainment in town and they were super packed. Took down our name and number and told us it would be about an hour wait. No biggie. Got the confirmation text we were "in line". 3 hours later and never received a call so we just went to get milkshakes and headed home. Never did get a call. But like I said, only entertainment in town so of course they were packed on a Saturday night. My fault for not calling ahead. But when they aren't busy, the bowling is fun and prices are reasonable. And th
One of the best bowling alleys you'll ever visit. The staff is friendly and they can also fit you for your own ball. On Sundays they have Sunday funday. It's a deal where you get 2 hrs of bowling, pizza and a pitcher of pop up to 5 people for 65 dollars.
With it being presidents day and school being out we decided last minute we were going to hit up the arcade at Highland Lanes and it didn't disappoint! We didn't bowl but we played the arcade games for 2 hours straight & definitely could have stayed longer just playing all the arcade games ! You get a card out of the ATM looking thing when you first walk in to the right & you can put as much money as you want on 1 or more cards and they convert to tokens (I spent 30 dollars the first time and got almost 400
My son decided last night(11/10) that he wanted to go bowling for his birthday. I called this afternoon and asked them a few questions about pricing,food,etc and whoever I spoke with was very friendly and explained everything to me. We hopped in the car and drove the 20-ish minutes to Hillsboro. The parking lot looked a little full but we were able to get a lane immediately. This place is clean,the staff is very nice and my son had a great birthday! We will definitely be back!
Its ALWAYS a GREAT time when we go there! Family friendly and the nicest staff! They have great family specials too! Birthday parties are available. New Years Eve party rocks there! It is family fun, but you can also kick back and hang out with your buddies too! Bar in house makes it great! Food and drinks are 5 star! We love our spot! The Daugherty/ Haddox family.
Great friendly staff. Excellent pro shop. Never had a bad day bowling here. Prices are reasonable. Food is great.
Management was terrific. We were given a tour by Shane. Next time going to try the restaurant. Very classy.
We had our daughters bday party there today! It was very clean. Really friendly staff! I reserved about a month ahead. They don't allow you to bring in your own food or drinks bc they serve their own food. Wish I would have known that earlier bc I went and got some pizza elsewhere and pop for our guests and wasn't allowed to bring any of it in. Still this place is a great place to have a birthday party. Children and adults all had a great day! Thank you for helping make this a special day for our daughter!!
Great place for afternoon trip with the kids. Friendly staff.
Had a great time at the alley for my grandsons birthday party. The fellow behind service desk was very nice and helpful.
You can't get a better guy to run this bowling alley. Jeffrey puts his heart and soul into this place. Leagues are full...tournaments are well ran Great hospitality. Love this place. I would make this my home lanes if I lived closer. Kudos to Jeffrey and crew.
Great place. I bowl on league. Staff r very friendly
The place was very clean as well as very fun. The staffed seemed well trained and there were never more than 2 lanes closed. The arcade in the back was also a nice touch in case you brought smaller kids and wanted to give them something to do. Another nice little touch is Alley 21 which you can access through a door towards the rear of the ally which is a wonderful stop after you go bowling with friends. Would definitely recommend and will be returning soon.
Paid $110 for 2 lanes for 2 hrs for my son's bday. We had a cake for him but AFTER we paid they decided to inform us we were not allowed to bring the cake in because we didn't pay for the birthday package. They waited until AFTER we paid to tell us this even though they watched us carry the cake in. Then the pizza we got was cold and just not good at all.
Great family fun or adult fun! The bar staff make great drinks and the food is amazing. Probably the best ribs I have ever had! So if you are hungry want a couple drinks and to have fun this is definitely the place to go!
Nice facility and good food
Beyond disappointed called days before to reserve a birthday party. They advised us that they were booked all morning. But would have open bowl at 6:30.. We drove 12 kids down there to be told they were booked all night. Beyond ticked and will not return to highland heights after this. Ruined both kids birthday. You should of just Said you were closed all day. Bad communication.
They don't honor their 'specials' prices. So I'm not even sure why they have it on their website. I won't be back. *UPDATE: Um, NO, you never honored the price nor offered too, so I left. Lying on here isn't going to help attract customers. And if you haven't updated your website since last summer, now might be a good time to do so. False advertising isn't a great business model ?
We spend a lot of time here since my son bowls for school and everyone on staff is so kind and it's always so clean.
Very nice and clean. Family atmosphere. Jeff is a master at fixing anything bowling and does a quality job. Goes above and beyond for the youth high school teams.
Have always had great service plus good food
Absoulty awesome for family time. My children are very young and this was a very fun experience even for them.. Very friendly staff.. Just overall a fun positive feeling place to be
Manager was very rude and had a terrible attitude. Not just to our group but to others also. Had a very bad attitude toward my 10 year old granddaughter and one young man in our group just because they needed help with games.
Nice place. Staff is very friendly. Definitely had alot of fun
Everyone here is awesome. The food is great, the people are so nice! We "have a ball" every time we go!
Great place to hang out with friends and have fun. Excellent menu as well
Other the our waitress who was awesome the food sucked and the price was outrageous and I don't like it when they take the tip out without my permission I always tip good or bad the amount depends on the service.... Would not recommend this place
Was told a 90 min wait, but people kept getting in getting lanes. Six lanes open asked what was up with them was told they wasn't working but ten minutes later some teenagers came in and got a lane I asked them if they reserved it they no we just got here!
Decent prices and fun. Worker was helpful and the building was clean. Will come back.
Clean, fun, and nice atmosphere. Very reasonable rates. We have found our new bowling place!
Had our son's birthday party here. The kids enjoyed the party, I felt that I had to keep reminding of the staff of things we needed for the party. (ie. Tokens, balloons)
Very nice people and you can buy your bowling balls there and they have all new shoes it's very nice to go to a place with good customer service is hard to find.
Great place to bring the kids ..great prices
Love the atmosphere here very big and spacious the lanes are very well maintained and the bar is great for grownups great times all the way around

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.”
