We were there for a kid birthday parking. They made us wait for at least half our group to arrive before bowling started which meant that the ones who arrived on time ventured into the video arcade and were hard to collect when late arrivals finally showed up. They have an indoor mini golf course, which we had also booked for our party but since there is only one course, our teams had to share it with the general public which meant we had quite a wait time at each hole. Staff did assign us a specific birthday party coordinator which was helpful, and were somewhat flexible about adding additional lanes since six people per lane was a bit much for such young kids. We preferred Chalet Bowl or even Narrows Bowling.

The owners are always nice and welcoming. Its a great place to have fun with the family and friends. They really go out of their way to make sure your experience is a good one. The junior program is one of the best in the state, the PBA caliber bowlers that coach the kids have produced most of the top junior bowlers in the state in recent years. They have kids that come from as far away as Bellingham for the coaching. We always count on the great meals that come out of the restaurant as well. Saturday mornings wouldnt be the same without an omelette and hash browns. This is one of the few bowling centers that still has restaurant customers that arent bowling. That really says something for the food!

Nice place. They set up the tables way too early for parties that may or may not happen leaving hardly any seating for people to watch friends/family bowl. I found one empty table to sit at then the lady kinda kicked me away because she had to set that table up for a "party". They are too picky about outside food and drink. I brought McDonalds in and got hassled by the employees about it and told them why are you bothering me? There were other people there with McDonalds too, There is a McDonalds in your parking lot! GET OVER IT! and no Im not buying your food its overpriced!

It was a really big let down to find out that we spent about 50 or more dollars on a night of bowling that ended in a couple minutes due to malfunctionsome with the systems and the only compensation for the 10 min night was less than 15% of what we paid to play. It was a junky rundown alley with very inappropriate and disrespectful workers. Im very disappointed with the way my family and I were treated and Im infuriated that they would take our money so gladly and return barely any of it as a "refund". Screw this place, dont come here, its not worth your time.

I love it here. Ive been going here for years (like since I was five and my family would go bowling or play games with quartes saved up). Wether its for a game of mini putt putt, bowling, meeting up and hanging out with friends in the arcade and playing pool, or a homemade milkshake in the restaurant. The staff is really nice and kind. And even though its simple, I find it fun. They even have a pinball machine! its so hard to find one these days. I think its a really cool place. ^_^

Fun for the family with lots to do. The cons: Food was was left on the table next to seating by the last people and was never cleaned up for the hour and a half we were there. It is unclear where the handicap parking is and with the giant curb on the entry side, makes it difficult for someone to get in. I did not see a server the entire time that we were there. Summary A pretty affordable options, do not expect something fancy or outstanding service and you will have fun.

Their website said they had open bowl, but when we got there, it was completely full of league bowlers. (It was a Thursday night at 7 pm.) The people behind the desk were unapologetic about it. It also smelled like someone spilled a gallon of cheap perfume on the floor. Ive had a lot of fun at Tower over the years, including bowling in leagues, but theyre run down and clearly have poor management. We drove out of our way to go to Tower, but well go elsewhere next time.

I was very impressed with the amount of attractions that they had. My nephew really enjoys the bumper guards. Typically you can have bumpers per player. However its per game here. The family was a bit disappointed. I was looking forward just watching and eating some greasy food. However after 2 hours no one bothered to clean up up the food in the table. Not sure how long it has been sitting here.

Its a nice place to go if its raining and there is no other options to get kids out of the house for a bit. It was very busy when we went. Took a very long time to complete the 18 holes of minigolf. The course was pretty well kept, however there was garbage strewn along the rocks and empty alcohol cups at most of the tables meant for keeping score. Employees were friendly and helpful!

I was here for a referee meeting and also did put-put afterward. Even though there were quite a few of us at the meeting the staff did their best to accomodate everyone. I did the put-put course afterward with two friends and it was pretty fun for an indoor course. Didnt bowl but it looked like your average bowling alley. All in all, solid place to have fun with good staff.

We always have a great time here. The prices are responsible and everyone is great. The security guard they have recently instilled is a nuisance though. We apparently didnt get in the car and drive away fast enough and he came around questioning our intentions. I could understand if we werent paying customers but we had just spent a few hours spending money there.

The waitress for the food was nice but the person at the front desk looked young was very rude looked like he hated his job, completley ignored my dad when my dad had just paid him simply just asking him what lane and information on the ages and acted as if we didnt jus pay, so rude, its a busy place they need to hire people that have patience!

My mother cant have gluten so she ordered a small fry from McDonalds. The guy behind the counter asked her to leave at tower lanes because you cant have outside food even though they serve nothing she can eat. The 9 of us left. Good job, especially since they were closed half the day for a party. Way to lose money

Bowled on Wednsday night summer league and will never bowl on a league there again!!! They cheated, allowing owners son to skip out part way through a game and they dont follow all the USB bowling rules!!! I would never recommend anyone participate in any leagues at this place!!! Feel cheated!!!

Really enjoyed playing here! When I think about where I like to go to have fun or when I reflect on having lots of fun this place always comes to my mind. Great during the summer to get out of the hot sun. Great in the winter to get out of the cold and rain and active is the best part!
