I went here with $15 and 2 free games of bowling for each of my 3 children. I had to get the kids bowling shoes and I was going to bowl 2 games. The young lady at the counter came back with $22. $22 for 3 pairs of shoes and 2 games for me, are you kidding? No wonder bowling is struggling. They had new scoring machines and we did not know how to operate them. I went and asked the Asst. Manager for help and he stated "I guess so", like it was too much for him to do. There was less then 10 people in the whole place. I am suppose to bowl there this fall, I may have to rethink that.
Review Source:For almost $100 we got two lanes and shoe rentals on a Friday evening. Â Bowling can get pricey. Â Amf has bumper bowling for the kids but it's not automatic so once it's up.. it's up for the whole game. Â At Olympic Lanes, it is automated and only comes up when you need it to for the kids. Â We also had a lot of problems with the lanes. Â It kept getting stuck and we had to reset it almost every time. Â And because of that, we got the wrong scores sometimes. Â I bowled 2 strikes and they were unaccounted for... boo.
Review Source:I am someone who loves bowling & really enjoys going whenever I can, but I just don't go enough.
When I do bowl, I really like going to AMF West Lanes. It's a little out of the way for me to get there, but I'm comfortable going AMF.
They have modern scoreboards (not flat screens but good enough) that keep track of your score for you. It plays some funny visuals for each number of pins you knock down. The staff is usually very friendly and helpful if you need them. I haven't done a huge comparison to other bowling allies but I think AMF is pretty reasonable on price. There is nothing special about the place, older look inside, balls are in just okay shape, but you will definitely have fun if you go.
They do have a full bar (not top notch), serve food, and have video games to play. I just focus on the bowling and celebrating my victories...haha. Okay, I'm only about a 130 bowler, but hey, I don't go enough like I said earlier. I always like to impart some sort of helpful piece in my reviews and the tip here is go to AMF on Wednesday's. I think it's like $1 games...Awesome deal!
