| - I gave my daughter a couple options when it came time to book her birthday party somewhere, and after researching online and Yelp, of course, I was confident when I said we could check out the bowling alley. We stepped one foot inside and YEP, decision was made. No "insert name of dirty, overpriced, kid pizza arcade" here!
They have a Birthday Party office near the front door and I was given info on what they have to offer (same info online) and it was easy to call back to make arrangements. They offer parties on Saturdays and Sundays, two times each day. What was one reserved as "Midnight Bowling" back in my day, they do during the birthday party times so the kids get the excitement of black lights and neon...No boring bowling here. If space allows, there is open bowling going on at this time too. Cosmic bowling is where it's at!
We opted for the party time on a Saturday, 11:15am-12:45pm and got the package that includes game cards for the arcade, glow necklaces for the guests, and a souvenir bowling pin for the birthday kid. There are many add ons that you can purchase which I initially skipped but on the day of the party we added wristbands for the bumper cars which allowed the kids unlimited rides.
Our party host was Chloe and she was super nice. She had our lanes set up when we arrived, complete with name tags for each guest at their placesetting on the tables and shoes on their chairs. She took great care of us, made sure that we had everything we wanted, made an obnoxious amount of balloon animals for the kids, and hustled things along pretty well. An hour and a half isn't long, so she made sure to reserve a spot for us in the cafe area and out all of our items over there.
If you opt for the package with the arcade games, keep in mind that the timeframe for the party will extend past an hour and a half. By the time we had finished with bowling, pizza, cake, and the dancing that they throw in, it was already time for the parents to pick the kids up and we had just gotten the game cards for the arcade. Had I known we would get them last I would have extended the time on the invitations so the other parents weren't waiting around.
Birthday parties can get quite expensive, and after adding on extra food, a pitcher of beer (for the husband and friends), and wristbands for the bumper cars, I spent more that I originally wanted to but after seeing the excitement on my daughter's and her friend's faces, it was well worth it. We could have booked a party elsewhere and spent just as much but it wouldn't have been as much fun.
