I know that bowling alleys arent typically the nicest places in the world, but this place is an absolute dump, in my opinion. The customer service was horrible, the food nasty, the drinks flat and watered down. There are other alleys around that are far nicer then this place- I felt like I needed a shower after I left! Sadly, thats not even the worst part! The General Manager, Kurt, happened to overhear a conversation I was having with a friend about politics and the President. I made comments in support of the President and he proceeded to tell me that I was "anti-American", " a real lefty looney tune" and that my beliefs may be harmful to our Country. Needless to say, we walked right out. Unless you want to spend your hard earned money at an establishment where management thinks your anti-American for making comments in support of the President, and at a place that is a dump to begin with, then this is the place for you!

While some parts of the experience are less than satisfactory (the food/drinks mainly) the establishment as a whole actually has a very small town and friendly environment. The staff there are considerate and decent people, the pro shop is serviced by a kind and experienced bowler, not to mention that the alley is home to the great PBA Pro Sean Rash. Occasionally it can get a full, as they have leagues almost every night starting at 6 pm, but if you know the schedules and time your visits accordingly, you will have no trouble getting a lane or two to bowl on. Those who write negative reviews on the place have obviously only tried it once or twice, and have not yet experienced how friendly and fun the alley can be. All in all, 4 out of 5. Not the best, but far from what others think.

Went there 2 weeks ago on a Friday. $1.50 a game, and hardly any lanes available. All kinds of kids and families. Figured it would be our Friday night family activity. Went there last night (Friday) and there were PLENTY of lanes. I rolled up to the counter and said 6 games and a pair of shoes. She says 29 dollars!?!?!? When I mentioned the previous Friday she said well not anymore. Because leagues have started. So you have guaranteed money coming in from the leagues, AND you almost quadrupled the price. No wonder there were so many empty lanes. It is very sad that those of us from aurora. Who want to keep our money in our town have to put up with this bait and switch mentality. I will GLADY give my money to funway. Which has better and newer facilities.

I have been to this bowling alley a couple of times. The people are nice but they never have any lanes for regular customers on Saturdays. There is a bowling league that take up all the lanes until 9pm. This is the biggest day of the week for familys. I work Monday Thur Friday and I try to spend quality time with my family on the weekends. I personally will never return to this place. I will just relocated my family to Brunswick Zone on the weekends.

A little expensive as far as standard bowling alleys go (ie not big Brunswicks), still, its clean, the TVs arent huge or obtrusive like theyre tending to get elsewhere, and the food is decent. Overall your standard bowling experience, nothing to write home about but no complaints either.

Parkside is a bowling establishment and as such you will find competitive leagues, pro shop ran by people who know what works, and a very good family environment.

Theyre always Competitions going on, so its almost not worth going if you dont know when theyre doing competitions. Cause ur not aloud to go in if they do.

Standard bowling alley. Nothing of note to really mention. Its an older place, little run down, but decent if youre looking for bowling in the area.

Staff are (mostly) friendly, and the place usually isnt packed unless you come during tournaments. Its clean and very fun! Prices are okay, too!

Fun, drama free bowling. Old school feel. Good bar and little diner inside. Arcade and pool tables as well. Lots of lanes.

After 9pm Mon-Wed they have $1.50 bowling and shoe rental until 11pm. Always a great place to go for some inexpensive fun!
