Funquest Bowling

Great family spot for a good time. This place is very family friendly and a good pick for those that are serious bowlers or those just going for a good time. Lanes work well, facilities are clean and neat. There is a bar for those wishing to have a nice beverage. I particularly like that they sell more than beer. Food is good too.
The staff and service are great. If you have the pleasure of meeting Nancy while there, she is the best. She has always taken great care of my family and we look forward to our weekly visits.
We drive from Arlington to Collierville and bypass several other options and never think twice about it.

We just left the bowling lanes and had a lot of fun. Prices weren’t too bad, the lanes worked correctly, and we visited the arcade.
Friday night 6:00 pm. Lane 24 for 1 hour, 3 pairs of shoes for $ 30.00. I thought this was very reasonable. I’m not really sure what the price breakdown was for the lanes and the shoes, but I kind of expected 30 for the hour and more for shoes.
The equipment, whatever its called, however it works, performed properly, and we didn’t lose any of our time we paid for waiting for malfunctions to be corrected.
When I got there, I wanted beer. There happened to be a line that seemed to take forever, there were two bartenders, but the good news is that I was able to buy 3 beers at once, and I was given a bucket of ice, so I never had to wait in the line again. The weird thing is, the bartender thought it necessary to remove all the beer caps at once. They checked my id and gave me a wrist band, which I suspect is a way to prevent a purchaser from sharing with underage teens. Or rather, a way to catch underage drinkers.
The arcade was very antiquated. There is a photo booth that charges 3 bucks for a single picture. I thought these were obsolete. Who wants a 3 dollar selfie??? The arcade also was small. There were a couple games not working which took our money. There are signs saying you are shit out of luck losing money to a machine that steals because they don’t own the machines. This is such BS. I bet they own the money that goes into the machines. Besides, someone owns the machines. Actually I really don’t care who owns what, the bottom line is that if there are machines that only take money and do not perform, it is basically theft to leave them open to the public and deny any responsibility without even removing the machine from service. The arcade was also too small and the games were old.
There is a bar that is separated from the rest of the building for the grown ups to hang out in. Bad thing is, this would be perfect for smokers, but sorry, not allowed.
There was an armed security guard. Don’t know how much protection he could actually provide, or if he is actually full time, but there was no sign on the door restricting citizens from carrying their own weapons. I drank three beers. I was unarmed. But I would be willing to bet there were at least a dozen firearms inside. I was able to feel comfortable having children and an infant. I think the guy bowling next to us had something under his shirt.
I look forward to returning another night. We did not try the skating. It’s been over 20 years, but it does sound fun.

This is not a bowling that you want to check out. We’ve been here a few times and it just doesn’t seem to get any better. I took the family for night out. The pizza was burned and the pitcher of drink was leaking because it had a crack in it. We spent more time waiting for them to retrieve our bowling balls than we did actually bowling. We finally got them to move us to another bowling lane that actually worked. If you have issues with your bowling lane, and you probably will, it takes forever for someone to come the counter to help you. We rented the lanes for 2 hours but we ended leaving early because it was a waste of time and it just wasn’t fun. This is an ok bowling alley but not one that I would recommend. I would recommend any of the other 4 bowling alleys in the area before I recommend this one.

Always a great place for friends and family. Nice atmosphere and nice people.

Edit to my original review: I am downgrading this place to a 1 star review. The last couple months at Funquest have been HORRIBLE! It took them months to get their air conditioner fixed. The end of summer was miserable if you tried to bowl there.
The new manager of Funquest is a horrible horrible person. The lady apparently hates making money, and she apparently loves cheating people out of their money. We recently went to Funquest on a dull Saturday evening. We entered at 10 PM as a group of 7 people. The sign on the door clearly stated open until Midnight. We were each charged for 2 hours of Cosmic Bowling. At 10:45, the manager approached each group in the building, and told them they had to leave by 11. We, as well as 4 other groups, approached her at the desk with our receipts that showed we were charged for time until midnight. She told us we all had to get out. She refused refunds, and threatened to call the cops when we kept insisting an hour needs to be refunded to us. This woman is a crook who does not care about her customers. She also stunk of alcohol that night. This woman should not be in any sort of management position. If you want a fun night of bowling, please, choose somewhere else. Do not give this place your money as long as this manager is in charge.

First off, I am an avid bowler. I visit Fun Quest on a weekly basis. The staff is very nice and the lanes are well kept. The last month Fun Quest has been awful to visit though. Their A/​C was knocked out during a storm, and they have been without it the last 4 times I have visited. It is mid summer and way way too hot to be bowling without A/​C. I leave there absolutely drenched in sweat. They need to get the A/​C fixed ASAP. It is hard bowling when you cannot get your hands dry from sweat.
Other than that I love FunQuest. We also love going during cosmic bowling on the weekends. The prices are good and it is a lot of bang for your buck.
The pro shop there is also super helpful! They will get you set up right the first time!
