I am surprised that I haven't given this establishment a review!! This is our second year having our son?s birthday party at thunderbird lanes I guess this has been around for so many years as my husband used to go here and remembered it very well despite of how many decades it has passed ?? Talk about history and how long this business has been around! The place is always pristine, the staff that was assigned to us is very nice and courteous He made sure that we are well attended and getting what we n
Had fun there with my son and grandchildren recently. Got right in with no hassle. Food was enjoyable and we all had a real good time. My grandson's birthday party will be there in July. Always a fun atmosphere place.
Went with my younger brother on his birthday and some of his co-workers were with us to play a few bowling games for a 2 hour slot reservation for 1 PM on lane 19. After playing 3 games i got a cheese steak wrap with some Lay's chips at the snack bar around 3 PM. When the food was ready about 20 minutes later, the staff at the snack bar brought it all out to us at one of the tables in front of the bar area. The wrap was delicious since the guy at the register asked if i wanted the onions raw or grilled. So
Loved coming here. Wasn't too crowded on a Sunday. Was able to complete 4 games for the two hours. Will go again. It was clean. Food was good as well. Great place to spend an evening on a budget.
My friend and I come here quite often for midnight bowling. Usually have a good time, but this past weekend I decided to bring my son with us. We were having a good time until myself, my friend, and my son had approached the bar to order drinks. The lady behind the bar yelled at my son for being at the bar with me (standing not even sitting at the bar). What was I supposed to do? Leave my son alone in a crowded bowling alley? Usually staff is very friendly but this woman shouldn't be behind the bar yelling
Great place to go bowling, and they have pretty good food for sale here. Additionally, there also is a small arcade room that is worth checking out. I would say bowling here is reasonably priced, and has awesome employees.
The place was pretty good itself, the lanes can fit about 4 to 5 comfortably and they have a wide variety of bowling balls. The food is good and fair priced, the drinks are big, but the variety isn't the biggest.
We had my daughter?s 12th birthday here and everything went off without a hitch, and even when the pizza came out burned another one was made for us free of charge by Jimmy. Everybody was so helpful from Klaus at the front desk to Aiden the helper and all of the 22 guests seemed to have a great time striking up the fun! I would highly recommend this for a birthday party for any ages even a picky preteen.
Had a kids birthday party there for a 14 year old. The food was good and we ordered pizza, mozzarella sticks, french fries, and soda for the kids. The few adults were able to purchase some beer. The bowling was good.
I had my son?s Birthday party here. The reason I'm giving 2 stars is only because one 1 star is for that person at the front desk who tried to help me after me asking several times for help. I had never bowled before and didn't know how to start up the screen, in-fact wasn't even properly directed to my spot, worst is they couldn't even find my reservation that I did online with the customer service person. Anyways, the workers at the food bar were very helpful so there's my 2 nd star for them. But I must s
Great alley to hang with the family. Highly recommend for some good bowling at a fair price!
Fun bowling with neon lights, video games, a bar, and (okay) food. When the black lights are on, bright colors will glow, it's pretty cool. Sometimes they are turned off however, for a normal light. There are auto bumpers that rise up from the lane, that can be requested to be turned on for kids or people who don't want gutter balls. Lots and lots of lanes here. The bar here is a nice feature, but the food is hit or miss, the cheesesteak hoagie was dry and one of the worst we've ever tried. Not sure wha
My cousin took me bowling here coz he's grown in this area and this place was where he stated bowling long ago. He tells me the place hasn't changed much. There are enough lanes here and the place is well maintained. We played for an hour or so and had a great time. The staff is good too. Would recommend going off you are looking at bowling with friends.
We hadn't been bowling probably since 2020 so this was the little guy?s first experience! The staff was friendly, the pizza wasn't half bad, and we went right after camp ended to avoid the Friday night crowd. We bowled, we ate, we talked trash. It was the best family time we've had in a while. We will be back ??
Was fun. I had to lay to get bumpers on my lane, which was annoying. Also, they pizza was terrible. And they did not play good music. Good time with friends though.
Went bowling here with some friends the other night and had a great time! Staff was very friendly/helpful and good about spraying shoes. I found the alley to be quite clean, and loved when the black lights turned on! Would definitely come again.
the bowling alley was it great way to celebrate my friend's 21st birthday. We paid $16.99 for unlimited bowling until 1 a.m., and my friends who were over 21 bought a pitcher of Yuengling. It was a great night and my friend hit a great game with a score of 200. The men's bathroom was clean and was stacked so it's a family-friendly bowling alley.
I went with my family last night. We got a reservation at 10:00pm to do the glow bowling. The experience I had received this rating because the quality of the experience was "ok" for the amount we payed for. The amount of bowling you get in covers for the lack of quality in the Glow-bowling experience. The lights that thunderbird uses are simple LED lights and the type of disco-ball lights you get at Walmart. On top of that, they put a row of LED lights under their ceiling fans, which created an uncomfortab
Worst experience ever had reservations that they put for the wrong day management doesn't care what's going on they told us we need to get off the lane 10 minutes before we were done Management doesn't care and apparently he said the owners don't either
It was really fun! We had some drinks and pizza while bowling. I recommend it to have a nice outing with friends.
Such an amazing and welcoming place! The staff were awesome and worked hard to make sure we had a good time, the food was really good, and the late-night bowling was super fun. Will definitely be coming back here!
This place always has open lanes but never let's you play. They say there's a league but the league isn't taking up every lane. Then they try and say they are reserved for later but whenever I try to call to reserve a lane they don't take reservations. Never been to a place that doesn't want business.
I really like this alley. Nice staff, except 1 guy at the pro shop, telling me how to bowl and get my ball drilled, just drill the ball so I can bowl properly. I do like bringing friends here though and a fun time!
This place was awesome for bowling. The lanes are well maintained, more than enough balls for when it's crowded in all sizes, updated place. The food was delicious and reasonably priced along with the drinks. Fun arcade room with a variety of games. The staff was very friendly, everyone was approachable and outgoing!
This place was great! I came with a group of friends and we all had a wonderful time. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, and everything was clean and well kept. My friends and I can't wait to go back!
Miss coming here for our weekly league but plan to go again just for fun. Lanes are well kept, plenty of balls to pick from if you don't have your own. Reasonable prices for time or number of games and awesome specials for down times like Sunday morning. I also enjoy the loyalty program and holiday bonuses. No issues finding parking even on league nights. Food is decent but nothing fancy. Real pins, no strings, attendants are responsive to issues if they happen.
Fantastic. Great deals, fun night games, get the members free points card and collect discounts for playing, really recommend
Great bowling alley! We just left from my daughter?s 7th birthday party & we had about 18 kids & all the parents! The staff from the start of booking was awesome! Shout out to Natalie for getting our contract together & answering all of our questions. Jacob was super sweet and attentive to are needs. We will definitely be back! All of the kids had a blast! Thank you
Fantastic staff makes this a bowlers choice. Place is being redone about halfway through at this point. You need to watch your timing due to leagues reducing lane availability during those times.
This seems to be the cleanest and up to date bowling alley in our area. When they have lanes available it is a nice place to bowl. Unfortunately there have been two or three instances that we have been turned away to bowl (with this last occurrence today being well prepared for.). We called ahead of time to make a reservation and were told that for 6 o'clock we could not make same day reservations but there were plenty of lanes open. We got there closer to 7 and we're told there were no available lanes unti
My wife and I are frustrated and discouraged this afternoon. We saw a deal online for Pins, Pins and Pop and called to make a reservation and we're told to reserve online and we would be able to get the pizza and soda when we got there. We paid half at the time to reserve the lane and paid the balance when we got there. We paid for the deal, however, we were told that we did NOT and that it only included 2 hours of bowling and the 4 pairs of shoes (there were 5 of us, but only 4 bowled). No one could help u
We used to do midnight bowling ?rock and roll? bowling on Fridays and Saturdays and it used to be a dj and videos and challenges. This year we traveled 35 min to experience this and it was nothing like that. They basically turned on colorful lights and turned down the house lights. No colored pins, the tvs were broken, and we were cut off 2 minutes before our time ran out. The bartender was lovely, but everything else was sub par. Thank you for being a clean and fun establishment, but the experience we
Omg! We forgot how much fun it is to go bowling! Thunderbird lanes is clean with friendly staff with a bar and bar food.
Really have been enjoying this bowling lane since moving to the area. The people are really nice, especially the guys up front on Friday and Saturday nights. They helped me sign up for the rewards program and I have already gotten $15 off bowling! They are also rebuilding the bar entirely and I can't wait to see the finished result. Huge shout out to the bar tender Jimmy who is always a pleasure to be served by.
Great experience overall. One of very few bowling alleys in the area and definitely one of the best. Staff is kind and attentive. Seems like the facility has been renovated within the last 5-10 years. One of the cleanest bowling alleys we've been to. We had our daughter?s birthday party here and many of the parents had similar remarks about cleanliness and an enjoyable experience. Just be sure to make a reservation if you're going on a weekend.. we learned that the hard way. We'll definitely be back!
We had my company work party here and it was spectacular! Everyone had so much fun getting drinks from the bar and eating the food. Everything was delicious!! The staff worked so hard to accommodate us and everyone was so friendly, we loved it!
KUDOS to Thunderbird Lanes! Just took my two grandsons there for their holiday special treat with NaNa! Two hours of very reasonably priced bowling. (Another bowling establishment I looked into was twice the price and shoe rentals much higher.) Thunderbird?s staff were super pleasant and helpful (both on the phone and in-person), the facilities were cheerful and clean, pizza and fries were really good! I like that the food is made when ordered and not sitting around to be warmed up. Knowing that bowling al
I absolutely love this place. It's a family friendly location that I plan to visit on a regular basis. The staff is professional and they ensure customer first satisfaction. Shout out to the manager Jimmy McKinley for resolving our issues and making it a memorable night!!
Held a Halloween party for the kids. They all loved it . Staff changed but still good fun. Things seem to be moving down hill.
We have come here a few times over the years with our kids & always have a great time! Their family fun day on Sundays is a good deal (especially for 5 bowlers) and the music/lights made it extra fun for the kids. We plan to have our twins? 9th birthday here this summer and they're very excited!
Overall the place is great. It's fairly clean. The staff are very nice. The food isn't too bad. Fair pricing. BUT, it is not the place to be on a hot summer day, especially during a heat wave in July. It's just as humid inside as out. It's not cool inside as it should be. There are several ceiling fans which are way to high to feel any breeze from. Some of us were sweating and exhausted from the heat.
First time there with my company and we had the most fun there. The associates there were great and made us laugh.
My girlfriend and I always go here to bowl. Nice, clean bowling alley with decent food and a bar! The employees here, especially Joel, are always nice!
Visited Thunderbird Lanes again and were informed we'd have only 45 minutes to bowl due to league preparations. Yet, we were cut off after just 30 minutes and couldn't start a second game. Paying over $30 for such a short time was a letdown. Also, the staff didn't offer much help in finding bowling balls of the right weight, customer service was not great, making our overall experience just average.
Brought my nephews on a Sunday. Called the day before and che ked they had bumpers, they said no problem just ask when you come. Got there 11:15am and told a lane would be available at noon. Didn't realize reservations were they way to go. But figured 45 minutes isn't bad, kids could blow $20 in arcade while we waited. At 12:00- I went to ask about lane. They said they were getting to the noon lanes and would call our name. At 12:25 I asked again and was tolfmd next lanes wouldn't be available until after
I had my daughter's birthday party here this weekend and I could not have been more pleased with it. The staff was very accomodating, the bowling alley was very busy as there was an other party going on, our party had about 10 kids & it was hectic (for us!) but the staff was so patient and friendly with us. It was a great experience for the young kids using bumpers and the slide things, adults and teens... everyone enjoyed themselves! The pizzas included in the party package were delicious as well!
Smaller lane than some but great customer service and has a little bit of everything you want - bowling, arcade, food, and drinks. Maybe not the best of everything but it takes care of the job at a decent price point! Will be back soon!
We had my son's 9th Birthday tonight and we couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The price for the lane, shoes, pizza and soda was very reasonable. Thank you for a great time!
I was recently at this establishment and was very disturbed bye what I witnessed . First off the women who was making my pizzas for my family and I was extremely rude and seemed agitated and very jumpy (CLEARLY ON DRUG). After the wonderful time we had at your bowling facility we went over to the goodwill and witnessed the same women shoplifting items from the store she was still in her work uniform. She had purple hair and wore glasses. We won't be coming back anytime soon as long there are people like tha
Was a great experience as whole, very family oriented. The management was very generous and work with my party. Would go back again with no hesitation. Anyone who looking for a place that with take care of you reach out, even gave me a better deal then i originally paid for to save me some money!
Just came back from having my daughter?s 7th birthday party. The entire staff could not have been more helpful, even with multiple birthday parties happening at the same time. The staff at the front desk and at the snack bar station were friendly and made the entire party easy and enjoyable. Thank you so much!
Nice local spot to bowl, service was a little slow but overall a good time. Definitely plan ahead if you want food or drinks so it doesn't impact your game.
Nice place. A lot of bowling lanes and the price is fair enough. I choosed the option 44$ for 4 people for 1h30'. There are option for all wallets.
Lanes keep messing up during leagues and they don't care.
Was there on Saturday for my son's birthday party. I do not and would not ever recommend this place to anyone. Alot has changed since I was there last. There was nowhere for the kids to sit and eat their pizza which they made me buy in their package. The pizza itself was horrible half the pies were burnt but even the ones that weren't tasted disgusting. They did not have a party coordinator,no goodie bags anymore,no party paper products they did give us some plain white paper plates no bowling pin for party
Had a great time! Did bowling with Santa. The whole place got re done looks amazing. The staff was so accommodating and patient. The event was so organized and offered so much for an amazing price. What a great way to bring families together without breaking the bank. Will definitely come back and refer people.
Had my daughter's birthday party there. Fun place. I would have liked if they had the tables all setup and maybe someone to help. We had to push tables together and get our own food from their pizza shop.
We went on a Friday night to the one on Holmes Ave, it was slightly busy, the attendants were not very helpful, they seemed overwhelmed, we could not secure the right bowling balls for our two hours that we paid $64 for, for 4 people, that included shoe rental. The food was good, we ordered chicken tenders and fries.
We had my son?s 7th birthday party here recently. He enjoyed the party, so I'll give it two stars for that, but overall it felt very chaotic and disorganized. We spent the first 15 minutes of the party waiting for kid?s size balls to be brought over while the kids were running around being told to wait to bowl. We had an 11am party, so the whole place was empty and we must have walked over to check on them three times and they kept saying they were coming. That went over very well as you can imagine. I spen
Excellent bowling balls and they do a great kids party.
We had a birthday party for kid today. Our party host Lisa was very friendly and so ready to help us with everything, and other staffs seemed nice too. Kids had great time and We are very satisfied. If i have to complain about something, the pizza was pretty bad that most of the kids took a bite and didn't eat it anymore. Other than that, Thank you for everything today!
Was there for their New Year's bowling. It was a good experience. The alley was clean. The soe rentals were ok. Some of the shoes were well past warn out. It's your typical bowling alley. The food that night was above average. The mechanics and mechanisms all worked well.
If I could give this place a 0 stars I would the bar tender Katie was terrible. She not only cursed at our group but refused to serve us after one of our friends caught her adding a drink he never ordered. She the. Proceeded to curse our group out and she was just horrible. the people who were working the bowling portion were top notch! Hire more people like them not like Katie. Also we found plastic in our pizza which was foul. Staff said they couldn't do anything about it.
Here for a tournament and super busy. Girls behind snacks stand counter couldn't be better. Food was hot, my kids loved it, and service was great. Highly recommend stopping in for a bite between games!
My family and I had a fabulous time at Thunderbird Lanes. It was where we chose to go for my daughter's birthday. The snack bar staff was very friendly and made for a wonderful experience! Will be back again and will tell others that this is a great place to come for celebrations or just to have some family fun!
Very fun atmosphere! Loved going there with my sister. It's a busy place, and plenty of fun. Drinks could be better, but still fun. They even pay you if you do well (so I hear... I don't do well :P )
Had a blast with my sober friends!
Nice bowling alley with tons of lanes. However, it is a bit pricy and the lanes are pretty outdated, and when I want to make a reservation, I have to do it by the time and not the game. Overall, it is decent.
Overall...not so good experience. Took a group of 14 there for a team bonding type of thing and the counter guy moved our lanes twice, before we finally got to bowl. Ordered some appetizers from the snack bar and the snack stand worker couldn't possibly have looked any less interested in working. Took 1/2 hour to get fries and mozz sticks and when we finally did get them, they were like warm. Spent almost 300.00 there for a mediocre experience at best. Will not be back.
I used to come here a lot for the specials on Monday. After the renovation some of the specials changed, but not necessarily for the worst. The vibe is much newer at this place while retaining the same crowd as before. Lot of people here on the weekends and late weekdays, but I've always been able to get a lane. Great place.
We bowl here every week and the place is clean, friendly attentive staff, and very well-run. The owner often stops in and is interested in hearing suggestions. The restrooms have recently been remodeled. Looks like a great place to have a kids birthday party! Highly recommend for a fun bowling experience!
So they open at 9am, however we had to wait an extra 20 min before the cashier was ready to begin helping the long line of other families patiently waiting to bowl. So it's our turn and I was excited for my two sons and their friends to bowl together until I go to pay and while I was expecting to pay what was advertised on their website at 2.50 a game it turned out they were charging 5.50 a game. A huge deal and not good for business because they just lost our business plus the friends we came with plus all
Always a wonderful way to enjoy some day. The first sentence here was my previous review before I was asked to leave for being bare faced. Used to be five star fun now it's masked or the door. I actually wanted to ask questions about perhaps getting a good ball. I remember a time when my brother had a 'hammer' and I began to regularly throw 200s. We'll thoughts of those times are apparently in the past. Thanks for the memories. Obviously, I won't be returning.
Brian loves it here! Begs to come everyday!
This building leaves much to be desired. The seating is dated much like the televisions, staff areas, bar, restrooms. The staff did a fine job. The lanes were in good shape. I would never order food, though. I guess it's just another suburban bowling alley overall.
Cool spot but it's the second time I've been there an we turn around and our food and drinks are missing.
Very friendly accomodating, personal continued to sanitize and wipe all lanes and tables. Requested bumpers for 2 children and it was done immediately and with a smile. Great experience for first time bowlers age 7 and 10.
We had a fun night with great food
Terrible customer service. Worst bowling alley poorly ran.
Great bowling alley and nice staff! The bowling alley is great, they have lots of different weights with holes that fit most hands. The UV and disco lights make the whole room very vibrant. The bowling system seems very outdated though and it is not easy to control. Other than that I completely recommend this place for anyone bowling in the area.
The best and only bowling place I've ever been to! The music was fine and the staff were helpful and patient. I was worried if the place was going to be crowded and everyone would see how bad I am at bowling, but there was only about 8 people. Overall, the experience was fun and I would visit again! :)
I've been here hundreds of times and it's a really cool place. Not as fancy as some of the newer bowling alleys but if you're looking to have a night out with friends it's a really good place to choose. They have pretty good food and a bar for adults to get a drink. The service here is really good with a lot of nice people.
My mother and I took my nephew and a few of his friends to bowl there. It took us 40 minutes to get there. When we got there the guy at the front told us that and that they had no lanes available and that we needed to make a reservation. It was Friday. January 27th at about 3:30. So we played at the arcade. I saw a couple with a little girl go to a lane to start to bowl. I went over to the woman and asked her if she had a reservation. Dhe told me no, they did not. There are 32 lanes there and I coun
Really really tight lanes. No space at all. Out dated decor. Kitchen is getting remodelled so i went to the snack machine which ate half of my money. Girl offered me a refund but didn't know how to give it to me. I left here very hungry and very claustrophobic. My group had 20 minutes left and we could not wait to go.
Came here with the bridal party and family before a wedding. When the couple called they said we could bring our own food and it was byob. We showed up with pizza and beer and was then told we can't eat the pizza, only outside, and byob meant build your own buffet?not aware of anywhere else that Byob is referring to that. My mother in law reserved lanes, but we only needed 3 of the 5 lanes. Regardless of that, they still had us pay for all 5 lanes as they couldn't give those away to anyone else. There
My favorite bowling alley to do league with
It's always leagues going on n they won't be done until 9:30-9:45 pm
Been here for several birthday parties, and the kids always have a great time. Reasonably priced family fun. We've never had a problem with the lanes operations.
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.”
