Customer Reviews

Nice owners. Fun pace for all ages. Good prices.

Super chill owner. We dropped in during their weekend special. He said feel free to bring our own burgers in. Cheap and non-distracting atmosphere. Would recommend here over fat cats if you hate the casino noises and bright lights.

It was really awkward. There were three kids who obviously knew how to work there and they were all probably under age 11. There was an adult worker who I saw peak her head out and then she shut the door. The kids went in there telling her there were people here and she told them to ?deal with it.? Yikes. How family friendly. Great prices, uncomfortable environment. Update: we have had to move lanes twice because they broke in the middle of our games.

It was very fun! Only negatives was we had to switch lanes due to a problem with the lane we were in. It was also run by the owners young kids, which made it a bit awkward. But the bowling was great, cheap, and fun. Would recommend!!

Very seldom will you get a place that will give you their phone #, and open if possible for a group on the spur of a moment. Huge cotton candy bags and gigantic shaved ice for a buck. VERY family friendly.

Owners are really nice. We had a company party there tonight and it was definitely worth every penny of it.

Great family fun! Super great owners. Good bowling lanes that figured the score for you.

Grew up here and is our favorite bowling alley, The Southam?s

Great place to take the family for the night. They have an arcade as well.

This is the most family friendly bowling alley in the region... and a great price.

Small, family owned establishment. Very friendly staff and family friendly as well!

It was a bit rundown and the bathroom we're almost all out of order but it was a homy experience.

Had tons of fun here. Good for a small group of friends

Fun and very easy to find. Owners are really helpful

Cute but freezing cold, retro bowling systems which is fun but a little glitchy

Love it. It has less people than rexburg

Get place for family night and unlimited bowling

Very fun very polite workers

Old run down. One decent Lane

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.”
