Customer Reviews

Well very impressed. The food was awesome. The staff so friendly. 1st time but you've got my business. The bumper cars rocked.. mini golf was cool. The games worked and were fun not too expensive either. Bowling was great. If you want to have fun.. this is the all in one stop. Thank you so much for excellent service and cleanliness. You pulled it off with a ??.

5 stars for atmosphere and all the people. Employees, patrons, the whole bit. 5 stars. However... it's too pricey to be a hangout, the systems seemed to be glitchy, and we lost money on games. But we had fun. If it was a little cheaper and the high tech arcade games worked everytime like in the old days, it would be 5 stars. Going back to coins would be awesome. GoKarts are fun but make sure you have closed-toed shoes on, otherwise: no ride. There's not a good stretch on the track but it was still fun.

Good experience for this out of towner attending a family birthday party. Establishment had tables ready, balloons, and an employee was assigned to our group. Well run .

We booked a room for a birthday party and had an excellent experience- the private party room was set up and decorated when we arrived. Our son and his friends had a great time playing laser tag together and then hitting up the arcade after. I appreciated the hostess?s help and attention throughout the evening. :)

I really enjoyed the mini golf experience, and there's also the option to enjoy go-karts, bowling, and an arcade. Despite the venue being quite busy, we moved through the mini-golf holes at a good pace and never felt rushed or crowded. However, the bathrooms needed some attention, as they were low on essentials like toilet paper and paper towels. Overall, it was a fantastic time, and I'm thrilled to have such fun recreational activities available in town.

My favorite hang out place. Great bowling. A fun arcade inside. Go karts and mini golf are new additions which can be fun. Fair prices on food and drinks I think. Good staff always helpful. I'd go everyday if I could

Wonderful place for a kids birthday party. They take care of all the details from activities on down to the paper plates--you just have show up for fun! The party rooms are a good size and the party host was very pleasant and helpful.

Pay by the hour bowling, fair pricing. Good fun place. Lots to do with kids.

First off, anyone who looks at my past reviews will see I won't hesitate to give a poor review when I feel it's warranted. I've been meaning to write this review for a while so it's past due. We've been coming to this place since Covid and recently celebrated our son's birthday where this place helped us host the party and there was laser tag, arcade and food involved. I wouldn't consider us "bowlers" but we've been here several times bowling. What strikes me (no pun intended, seriously!) about this pla

This is without question the most unusual and downright cool family entertainment center I have ever seen. I was there for a Jr Gold bowling tournament with my youngest son. The parking lot is undergoing a facelift so it all looked kind of tired from the road until you pulled in. Inside was a cool arcade area, a snazzy cafe area (Max's Cafe), TWO restroom areas, all wrapped in an incredible steampunk motif. I love it!!! Check it out and if you do as well then give me a like, please??

My son had the best birthday at Tenn Pin! The staff are so professional and proficient and were on top of every aspect of our party. We will be coming back for another birthday party. My stress level went down as soon as I met our party host. She was amazing!

Love this bowling alley they usually have great customer service I go on Friday's from 9-12 normal for the great price of 15 dollars. I would definitely recommend it if you want to do some late night bowling. They also have a great go cart track it is very fun.

So much fun with my family! Laser tag was the ?bomb? ???? I just moved here and will definitely go back for more fun! Bumper cars, mini golf, arcade, bowling, go-carts and laser tag is an afternoon for having fun with the family. Love this place!

We had our sons 6th birthday here today and everything was so easy and fun! Macy and Kinsley were our party hosts and so attentive and helpful. They were sweet with the kids and checked on us constantly to assure we had what we needed. It's probably the cleanest bowling alley I've ever been to and all the kids had a blast! We'll definitely be back as a family!

I visited Tenn Pin for the first time on Saturday night for a work outing, and it was an amazing experience! We bowled, played laser tag, and enjoyed delicious food?far beyond typical bowling alley fare. The staff was kind, attentive, and incredibly helpful. Even though it was busy, it never felt overcrowded. Definitely worth the drive from Franklin!

The hostess, Kinsley, was amazing. She was thoughtful, considerate, and efficient. She was on task and offered support and advice throughout our party. She made us want to have another event here! Awesome experience!

We all had a great time. Mom & dad with two teen boys, two trips in one week. There's plenty of bowling, food, arcade, bumper cars and laser tag to keep everyone entertained. Can't wait to go again, my boys absolutely loved it. We were able to enjoy glow bowling too.

Good, cheap fun, with really good food and nice clean atmosphere! Can't wait for the go cart track to open! Good for all ages! Laser tag, bumper cars, mini gold and of course bowling too! The arcade os awesome, will be back, alot! Lol Definitely recommend!

Great place to bring kids. Tons of things to do from arcade to bowling to food. Best pizza ever!! Overall not bad, a bit pricey for the arcade games but mad fun still UPDATE: My son and I just experienced the Go karts and mini golf. Look. I love it. But here is my honest assessment on what's going on behind closed doors. 1.) It must've went over budget or you went cheap and or ran out of money. 2.) You could have expanded both to include more space between the GO KARTS and the mini golf course. Your mini

I was thoroughly impressed with this place and their staff. Everywhere you looked you saw a staff member, or security. Staff was constantly walking around checking on things and cleaning up messes. The bowling lanes were wonderful and did not mess up once which is something I've never experienced anywhere else. The bathrooms were clean. Overall, great experience. Will definitely be back. Keep up the good work, Tenn Pin!

We were with a group of 16 kids. School was out due to Presidents Day, so we had to wait about 45 minutes for 2 lanes to open up. Not a terrible long time at all considering. We did the $25 special. Bowl for an hour+arcade for an hour+ laser tag. The kids really enjoyed it. We had some issues with all the kids arcade cards acting up but one of the employees named Jerry was absolutely top notch in helping us out. He made sure the cards were in working order for us. He was an absolute pleasure helping these k

Everything you would expect in a Family Entertainment Center. Great atmosphere ??

Just not worth trying to go to anymore. Just gonna have to try to find time at work to play at a diferent alley. If you actually care about bowling peacefully and you find time on a weekday, I am 100% hit rate in the past year for being solicited by the pro shop guy. Now its glow bowl in the middle of the day on a weekday. garbage just pandering to disrespectful families.

Best Arcade Ever! The party crew was amazing and so helpful with everything, especially Alyssa. The space was wonderful and we would definitely go again.

Absolutely amazing birthday experience! Aniston was on the ball and very attentive to us and all of our guests! If you're looking for a great party spot, you won't regret coming to Tenn Pin!

Literally the best hangout place in Columbia! Bowling lanes have neon lights that change colors, there's a bar, an arcade with amazing games!! Literally, adults go to play as well. Laser tag, bumper cars?. And?. Coming soon: a go kart race track and mini golf! Also, the food is delicious, u can literally take the whole family and everyone will love it, from toddlers to grand parents! Go!

Did their new putt-putt and go-karts. Only $10 per person and really good course and track. Definitely recommend. And the arcade is always fun.

We had a great experience and Halle was extremely helpful and kid with my son?s birthday party. Highly recommend!

Hallie took such good care of our church group! This took a lot of running back and forth out for me. We enjoyed our time so much

It's just incredible the remodel and renovation they have done with this place! I mean really top-notch. My only thing is it's sad to see how people come in there and are trashy and spilling things and messing the place up. I think that is going to be their biggest challenge is to try to keep it nice from people who come in and don't have respect. I recommend it to anyone who would like to have a very fun time! It's a great family place. I've been several times with my family and we've had a great time and

Too crowded for my taste. The lanes are too close together, so it becomes too crowded up there. When young adults next to us also gets too drunk to behave, it's a little too much. Will probably be back, just not on a saturday night.

They offer bowling and an arcade as well as the mini golf and go carts that we did here. It's well maintained and clean.

Kingsley was awesome host! She was very attentive. Ofcourse TennPin never fails to be a blast!

We booked a party package for my son?s birthday. It was super busy but we had wonderful assistance from our hostess and the kids had an amazing time!

The guy working the door was picking and choosing who he let in under 18 , told my daughter she couldn't go in but her friends were literally in there waiting on her and let other kids walk past him without supervision and did not id them while I was still sitting there , I'm okay with rules but let's be fair to everyone . His attitude was terrible, he not only ask me would I drop my child off on a corner he also brought up the police when her 13 year old friend came to ask why she wasn't coming in . It's

It's really the best bowling alley I've been to in a long time. Each section makes you feel like it's the only thing they have if that makes any sense. For example, when you're bowling you don't feel like you're in the arcade area or laser tag area. It's all laid out nicely. They have a bar. They have food and not just any food. They have Caesar salads and really nice items to eat. The restrooms are clean. It seems like a very good place for children and adults to be there simultaneously. It's just really f

Alyssa was great! She even played games with us. Thanks for making it a fun experience:)

Had a wonderful experience tonight at 10 Penn Alley. Bianca provided exceptional customer service at the caf? in. Brandon was a very supportive manager obviously. I highly recommend this place. I bring my family here for fun anytime we can.

I had a ton of fun here, bowling, arcade, laser tag, go-kart, minigolf.. I could (and did) spend hours here! Oh, and they serve food too..

Me and my family had a great time, but most of us caught an upper respiratory virus during our visit. The bop it machine and panda machine also have non functioning buttons but were still usable by customers, leading to wasted money on losses they can't do anything about. The halo machine left player gun aim reticle is also desynced.

Great bowling alley in Columbia. Real smooth bowling lanes. Fun games for kids. Good food. Great prices.

We booked a laser tag party and the kids had a blast. It was very busy but our hostess was friendly, helpful and on top of things.

Tenn Pin Alley offers a fantastic and affordable entertainment option for both families and friends. With excellent bowling facilities, it serves as an ideal venue for groups to enjoy quality time together. In our experience, we had the pleasure of meeting great friends here, and both our families thoroughly enjoyed the lively atmosphere and engaging activities.

It's amazing how the entire staff is sooo friendly !! What a wonderful place to go and have fun with the family. The food is delicious too !

Had a birthday party for my granddaughter. Hostess was great and had everything on time as per the plan. Great experience and I would definitely recommend.

I had a really nice time at Tenn Pin Alley! The quesadilla was delicious?super cheesy and flavorful, even better than I expected! The rest of the food was great too, and the staff were friendly and helpful. It's a fun spot with a good vibe, and I'd definitely come back for another visit!

This bowling alley is the best in Maury County by far. Great atmosphere, games, arcades, food and an awesome laser light special. You cannot beat this special on weekend nights $15 unlimited games with shoes till closing.

First time visiting the putt putt golf and go karts for a birthday party. It was fun!

Good place for a family night or friends night. Clean. Bowling, laser tag, etc. 2 burgers, a salad, 2 mozz sticks, 1 fried pickles, Boneless buffalo wings, and a large icee was about $100. So be prepared for the food cost. Food was good, tho. We had a good time.

The birthday party was well timed, we were waited on hand and foot, and I didn't have to do a thing! All the kids had an amazing time!

This place is great however they need to have a pin attached to the cards because my granddaughter lost her card and anybody could just pick it up and use it. In this world of computer generated stuff this should be an easy thing to implement

Wonderful staff and a great place to enjoy a cold beer and a relaxing game of bowling. Plus the kids love the arcade and laser tag. Great place for birthday parties.

Brooklyn was our assistant for our birthday party of 10 kids and she was PHENOMENAL! So courteous and kept everything flowing well. She gave hands on help that was instrumental to keeping me sane.

Nicely run with mostly kind staff and good food - great place to hang out!

Brandy was an absolute help telling us about the weekly specials and the spring break specials 10 out of 10 would recommend going here for a family night

Had so much fun Bowling with Francisco, Frankie and Gavin the place was packed and the people were great got our shoes quick and the guy helping us even suggested a great deal thanks for that man

Very fun entertainment center they have a full service bowling alley and arcade they recently built a new mini golf attraction. The mini golf was fun but it's all self service no attendant to give you a club and ball you get a game card and slide it at a kiosk to recieve your ball. Was a different experience but once we figured it out was a very fun mini golf course.

Had fun with Family and G'babies enjoyed the arcade games. ????

Took my son for his birthday and had a great time! The staff are awesome.

Great place for birthday a party bowling, Lazer tag, mini golf, bumper cars, and an arcade

The manager that was here on August 2 was so kind. We came in to talk with the manager about donating to a benefit. He was very professional made eye contact. Shook our hands and listen too our cause as well as showing interest. Than made a donation too our cause. we appreciate your kindness.

Definitely one of my favorite places to go to have fun with family and friends. Good food. Good drinks. Fun bowling and fun arcade games! Everyone who works there is always friendly and helpful ??

We had a great time!! Aniston was a great host and very helpful!

Friendly staff, nice environment, tons of things to do! Really enjoyed stopping by during our trip to Tennessee! Would return if we come back to the state!!

Not special needs friendly. Staff has no compassion or kindness when it comes to a child with autism. Beware!

Came here and grabbed a bite to eat I ordered the quesadilla and the buffalo chicken dip! It was delicious! I would say this place isn't just for fun and games you can 100% get a quality meal here!

I love this place sm? I have been here for 2 of my birthdays. Bowling, Arcade, Laser Tag, and Bumper Cars ?? so much to do here Its my birthday in two days (June seventh) and I'm returning to my fave birthday party location! 15 years :D C y?all soon

Another visit was great. Aside from the $21 charge for bringing in our own store bought cake. We had a great time. Celebrating our 3 year old birthday. He had a great time bowling with the dinosaurs.

Best place to plan a birthday party! So organized and super fun!

We had my sons birthday at Tenn Pin - amazing experience

Best burger I've had in a while. Apparently the gentleman at the stove is an actual chef rather than just a cook. Also, fanciest bowling alley I've been to in a while. Great experience for my whole extended family, celebrating a birthday. Can't wait to go back!

Tenn pin was absolutely amazing. Alyssa our hostess was extremely helpful and kind.

Great arcade we had lots of fun!

So many things to do and not enough time. We had so much fun. Can't wait to come back.

Kidals have fun a bit pricey for the little bit of time the games last

Great time with friends and the best staff you could ask for. Great Kids Bowl Free all summer. ??

The Staff in All departments were very friendly and helpful. The food was GREAT!!! Ordered several items and everything was better than good....be back soon

Good burgers, great time boweling, arcades, bumper cars and laser tag. We all had a blast!!

We always have a blast! My (now 4 year old) son has been dominating the bumpers car scene since he had use his feet to drive!

Nice bowling alley and arcade. Kid friendly. Plenty of parking. Food and beverages served ??

If you want the feel of an old school bowling alley that's been modernized, and hate paying to play at a place like Dave and Busters, this joint us for you. They mixed good drinks for the adults, and there was plenty for the kids. On Tuesday when we went, they had a special deal where you paid $11 per person that included shoes, two rounds of bowling, and five bucks to use in the arcade. Great deal!

Enjoy bowling here. Good lanes and prices. Great that they have laser tag and arcade inside. Lots to do for larger groups and families. I always see kid's birthday parties being set up when I am there, so Tin Penn Alley obviously is a big hit with families.

It's completely renovated and under new ownership. It looks amazing inside! Everything is new. The food is great for bowling alley food and there's a MASSIVE arcade area! If you plan to do everything with your kids, plan to blow through $100 minimum but it's such a nice place to have fun now.

We were here on early Friday, Had to wait over 1.5 hours for our food thou, prices they charge do not match what is posted on their website. A lot of staff just standing around instead of working, or other staff following someone else around just to talk instead of actually working, maybe then I would have gotten my food in a decent time frame. Lane continued to break down, and had to wait over 15 minutes each time for someone to come see what the issue was. Limited bowling bowls to use here as well. Other

Halle did an awesome job taking care of us and was so kind!!

It's a bowling alley,so if you're looking for a quiet place to have a pizza, it's not here. Pizza very good though. Great place for kids.

Such great family fun. Nice course. We loved it. Bring your whole family out for some fun. Only $10 to play. We had a great time!!

Always awesome! Love the Lazer tag. Love the bowling. Love the bumper cars.

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.
