Colonial Lanes

Bowling may have been cheap in the 80’s. But not anymore. Most houses are outfitted with synthetic lanes these days (meaning they don’t wear down like those awful wood lanes) and have hi-​tech light show and sound equipment (for the «cosmic» or «extreme» bowling). This place has fair prices… again, bowling is no longer a «cheap» enterprise like it used to be, so if you haven’t been in awhile understand that it’s not a cheap diversion like it used to be.
And to the guy who complained about not getting bumpers… those are meant for children. Get a clue… nobody is watching or cares what your score is. You probably spoke with one of the managers there… and believe me they get tired of changing out those chintzy bumpers because drunken adults think it’s fun to bounce the ball off them. This place is better than Recreation Lanes in Rochester if you’re an avid bowler OR if you’re looking for a good scene on a Friday or Saturday night. If you don’t care about bowling/​bar scene, either one will satisfy your needs.

This is a terrible place to bowl, much less be. We went there and we wanted the bumpers up for fun and the man said, «If you can ride a bike, you can bowl without bumpers!» Him and his coworkers glared at us the whole time also… (picture the soup Nazi from seinfeld.)

Well, it’s a bowling alley… It meets does its purpose. Price was a little steep, I thought. ~$ 30 for one hour on a lane and three pairs of shoes. I thought bowling was cheaper. Is it just me?
