WILL NOT RETURN. I bought the Living Social deal for Seminole Bowl, which promised "4 games and 2 shoe rentals for 2." When we got there, they did not have shoes in our size, so we bowled in our flip-flops. They did not have any balls left under 15lbs, so we bowled with balls that were much too heavy for us. The lanes werent even full, so I have no idea why they were running out of everything. When we asked for waters with our $8 pitcher of beer, the bartender gave us one small cup filled halfway with water that tasted like it had been sitting in a hose for the year. Seriously, I drink tap water all the time and could not bring myself to drink it. The water fountain is broken. After 2 games, our computer told us we had used up our credits. When I asked the manager, he said it was "4 games split between 2 people, so 2 games." That makes no sense. A game is a game. There was nothing about that in the small print. The manager agreed with me that the wording was misleading and said that they had gotten a bunch of complaints at both of their locations. But the OWNER is the one who wrote the deal, and the manager told me there was nothing he could do since the owner was not in that night. I cant believe theyve gotten that many complaints about this and are not doing a thing to fix it. Clearly the owner is more concerned with tricking people into spending money on this dump than he is with maintaining it or keeping his customers happy. Get more shoes, get more bowling balls, fix you water fountain, fix your attitude, and show your customers you give a crap. Then Ill think about coming back.

NEVER AGAIN WILL I GO BACK TO Seminole bowling alley. Poor customer service, poor explanation of pricing from a veteran employees UNTIL AFTER youre done with that one game (1-10). Unsanitary facility! VERY FILTHY. They should be embarrassed to even call that their place of employment. Hopefully the New Year doesnt catch them dirty like that. The price was typed and folded on computer paper which was hard to interpret. SO UNPROFESSIONAL! What was typed on the paper was, " $5.50 per game and person and $4.50 for bowling shoes". That meant two individual games like the shoes. RIGHT? Total $21.50. Game was interrupted (stopped) during my third turn by the MANAGER (his mistake). After the one round, the screen informed me to contact the front desk to find out that piece of unexpected news in FINE writing (NOT). Asked to speak with the manager about this matter to get it resolved, Guess what, he was RUDE and tried to degrade me by breaking it down as if I was a preschooler. He used a poor example as if I was paying for a group of people to go to the movies. (Downplay failed). I even asked for some compensation for the interruption and misinterpretation. He stated, theres nothing he can do. It took everything in me to stay sane and Godly, so I politely walked out. THE ENTIRE BUILDING IS FALLING APART! Read reviews on google from 4 YEARS AGO saying the same exact thing. The health inspector would rate them a TRIPLE F! Where is the rating history? If I can prevent it, my money and any one that cares enough to read this post will NEVER SPEND MONEY THERE AGAIN!

The pricing was decent. 32$ for 3 hours of bowling plus shoes for two people. However, the cashier who rang us up was confused at first and we had to wait for someone else to come over to get us the price that was offered on their website and their sign. The bowling alley is dingy. Im glad we went for cosmic bowling while the lights werent on. Ive bowled at many places but never have I ever gotten a black layer of grime on my hands from bowling like I got from bowling here. My boyfriend and I had to wash and scrub our hands three times before it came off after we got home. The bowling balls seemed like they were never cleaned or maintained as they were all rough and didnt roll down the lanes quite right. The lanes looked really beat down under the black light. Overall, I dont think well be visiting again.

Everyone who works there is clueless. I told the man at the front desk that my girlfriend and I want to play 2 games and he told us okay $5.50 a game so itll be $22. After paying and playing our first game, he said we only told him one game and only paid for one game. I asked to speak to a manager since the price was different than what I was told, only to find out there isnt one and there isnt anyone in charge tonight. $22 for 10 minutes of bowling and a rude and unhelpful staff isnt worth it.

Bathrooms are filthy, and the equipment malfunction quite a bit, but the two staff members working the day we were there were very polite and courteous and helpful. The whole place seems dirty, and all the bowling balls are in bad shape, and the shoes given to us for my youngest son (four yr old) were broken in one place, but the clerk apologized and didnt make us pay to use them, I didnt even make a fuss, he just did what he thought was right. In short, crumby building, great staff.

Do Not Park Overnight. I got off work Saturday night & went out with some co-workers for cosmic bowl. When I left I was too drunk to drive so my girl gave me a ride home. the next day when we returned my car had been towed. it got towed only 15 minutes after we left. Even if I planned on driving home it would have been gone when I left if I stayed alittle longer. Go somewhere with an actual parking lot.

Awful. Filthy. No air conditioning. Lanes are in dreadful shape. Wood is cracked and filthy. Lanes havent been oiled in lord knows how long. Gates are all askew, pins take forever to reset and its 45 seconds for a ball to return. Hours are inconsistent with staff closing early without warning. So disappointing.

Can be busy or kinda quiet depending on when you go. A cheap, not fancy, simple way to have a good time with or without kids. Theres a bar inside that will let you bring a pitcher of beer out to your table too.

I really liked this place. Its laid back and fun. Good food, kinda pricey. Great deals on games. I payed $32 for me and my boyfriend and got three hours of bowling time, shoes included.

Since its near campus, I was not surprised to find great specials, a shabby inside, and inattentive service. There just isnt much in the way of decent bowling alleys in town, though.

Staff is really friendly. Place is very pleasant. 100 times better than the other bowling alley in Tlh. Lanes could use some work but the quality of the staff cant be beat.

Seminole bowling has deteriorated so much over the last 10 years. Its unclean, and they dont wax the floors resulting an almost unusable dry lane. Will not be back.
