I’ve never met such a rude owner/manager in my life! The Winter Garden Christmas parade takes place once a year. Dillard Street is closed for about an hour where no cars can get in or out. The city residents come together for a fun, festive time to watch the local dance groups, bands, etc. march down the street. All of the local businesses let the residents park in their lots and sit along the sidewalks to watch the parade. That is, all of the local businesses except Winter Garden Bowl. There was a really rude man who demanded that we move our car because he didn’t want parade watchers parking in his lot. I told him that I have parked in the same spot under the same tree for the past 4 years and he said he didn’t care. I told him that I was shocked with how rude he was being. The street was blocked off. His parking lot had 5 cars in it and dozens and dozens of empty spaces. Nobody would be able to come bowling until the parade was over. I told him that I didn’t plan to ever bring my family bowling at his alley again. He said “Great! Go to Clermont or some other place!” So, I am posting my experience here to let the residents of Winter Garden know the type of man that runs this bowling alley. There were a few other families near me on the sidewalk that said they had similar experiences with the man. It’s so sad to see a local businessman be so rude and uncharitable to the people in his community.

we showed up for a birthday party for my step brother and when we told the lady at the desk she said with a lot of attitude to her friend "its happening again, people are showing up for parties without calling" she then gave us our lanes and we started bowling and having a lot of fun with our friends and family! My friend and i ordered food and it was taking a while to get to us so we went up to ask. the lady came and told me "your food was on the high top. it was already on the high top" and i said "okay what does that mean" and with the most attitude i have ever received from a buissiness she said "go see if it is at your lane" then while i was telling my family and friends about the awful service, they shared their stories about how bad their experience here was. my chances of coming back here are a 2/10.

I originally liked this place due to the very nice staff and its the closest to my house. I took up bowling as a hobby recently so I have been here about 5 times the past month. The issue with this place is the lanes are always malfunctioning. I havnt had a single visit where I havnt had issues with the lanes. I kept coming back hoping it would get better, but this last time was the last time Ill be back. I didnt have a single game that I was able to play completely without having to ask an employee to fix my lane. It was happening to me and all the other people around me. Ill try out another alley. Hopefully this place can invest some time in updating their equipment so my family and I can start coming back again.

Staff was rude, the table on our lane had trash left all over it which we eventually had to clean ourselves, and they refused to let us have two lanes (one for the kids and one for the adults) even though we were two separately paying families when we found out that the lane bumpers could not be set per player. All 6 of us ended up having to use bumpers even though there were 9 open lanes the entire time we were there. The positive of all this is you get what you pay for. Want a cheap game of bowling? Then this is the place for you. If you want a cheerful friendly place to take the family on a Sat night go elsewhere. *** I was there on Sat at 7pm on 5/30/15

I have been bowling for over 50 years - and I must say Jay and his team are the friendliest Staff I have met. Just bought 2 bowling balls from the pro shop - and Rick did a great job helping us select out new equipment and fitting us. All in all, I see WG Bowl as my home lanes - even though we live 1/2 year in Cincinnati. One other point - they let me pre bowl as much as I want - so I cover the months I am away. My (and my granddaughter Lilys favorite place to bowl. Thanks Jay and Staff.

This bowling alley is somewhat small, but the staff is friendly. The only reason I gave it 4 stars out of 5 is because the date for our lane got stuck multiple times, the reset button on our lane was apparently out of service, and it was a slight inconvenience to have to fetch someone to fix it. Otherwise, it was a great experience. The snack bar has options from popcorn and fries to wings and pizzas. Also, the is an arcade, complete with tickets to earn prizes.

I havent been here in quite a while and must admit they did a great job fixing and updating the interior. We were there during the day and its very child oriented. Bumpers and a slide that allows you to load the ball and it rolls down and onto the lane makes bowling easier for the kids. We had a great time and the staff are very helpful and friendly.

I went with some friends to this bowling place and the person working in the front was really sassy to my friends mom...dont know if she was having a bad day but she wouldnt let us in. And my friends mom paid and didnt get to go in. This was a disappointment.but thank god that the Lets skate was open.

I love this place and highly recommend it! 1) Clean building, very affordable prices, and friendly staff add up to a great time. 2) Oh, did I mention NEW comfortable bowling shoes that actually feel nice and not like wooden planks. 3) Finally, the lanes bowl GREAT

Met the owner when my girlfriend and I came here for the first time a few months back. He couldnt have been nicer and he truly seems to care about this place. Being able to get beer and finger food is definitely a plus!

If you are going to have a bar than have a bartender. We waited 20 min until I finally went over and asked can someone help. His reply is "you all are thirsty tonight". We wont be coming back here again

Great bowling alley, went there several times over the summer, and always had a good experience. Prices are great, food isnt too pricy for a bowling alley, and it seemed to be pretty clean.

I love the price also the staff was friendly. I always have fun bowling there and once I had trouble with the air hockey machine and the owner had no problem quickly fixing the problem

Great for the little ones. They have an advanced bumper system and several cute items to help the young ones bowl. It has an arcade and the kids loved the popcorn. Friendly staff!
