  My friends and I got bored and decided to walk around the town, personally, I enjoyed that more. But the bowling alley is really nice.

  On a rainy day in my pals needed something to do, so we decided to take a trip to the local bowling alley. Thunderbird lanes was our destination and upon arrival we were greeted with a classic feeling bowing alley aesthetic. After a few minutes in line we received our shoes (which were a little oversized but not a huge problem) and we made our way over to our lane. The technology is a bit outdated for 2017 so it took a bit of time to get our names into the system (an upgrade isn't necessary, but it would be very very appreciated). The lanes are a bit narrow and in desperate need of refurbishing. I haven't been too a lot of bowling alleys in my day but it was clear these lanes were far from regulation. In the end, I received an average experience with my friends. For a decent time when you're bored, thunderbird lanes isn't a bad choice, but if you're looking for a bowling experience aimed more towards an older crowd, a different bowling alley is recommended.

  We frequent here but only because of the location convenience. The lanes are fine, the bowling alley is relatively "clean" I guess. The staff is absolutely horrible. Especially the blonde girl with the short hair. Never have I been disrespected in a business from someone. She talks to everyone like they're 3 years old and rolls her eyes. I literally had to walk away from her because of the disrespectful attitude she gave me, as I wanted to take the higher road. Because of this, I think I probably won't be back ever again. I get that working at a bowling alley isn't the most glorious job but at least pretend like you're happy to be there. Worst customer service. And this isn't the first time this has happened to myself and those in my group. But it will for sure be the last.

  Surprisingly clean. Nice staff and well kept for its age. Great for group events or simply.. bowling.

  No upkeep, but at least it's a place you can throw your bowling ball down a lane

  The staff was very accommodating with allowing extra bowling time for the kids party. But there was not enough time to set up before the party. The outside of the building Was remodeled and it looks great, but the inside looks very old, & in desperate need of remodeling. The kids spent most of the time waiting for bowling balls to return since it kept getting stuck in the return belt.

  Reasonably priced, BYOB. Usually always has open bowling even when leagues going on

  Good place to hang out with friends. Could use a little touching up but overall this place is fun and affordable.
