Good experience
Good experience.
I booked for 13 juniors to bowl and had our own birthday celebration. The staff were very helpful and cleared up willingly for us after. The only downside was i bought pizza’s for the kids and they was hardly any cheese on them. Could be better for the price. Other than that i cnt complain
