Coconut Bowl

Last night a group of friends and I went to the Indie go kart racing, which we usually have no problems with what so ever. Last night the cars we were in either would just shut off or wouldn’t go over 10mph… We just were a little irritated by the whole thing just because we couldn’t even finish a complete lap .
So we all went into the office just to see what we could do (refund or a free race) the supervisor that was there (I didn’t get a name) was very sweet and very understanding and gave us a free race in which we had absolutely no problems.
I just wanted to thank everyone who was working that night for being so understanding and allowing us to go again .
We never have any problems with the staff here at coconut bowl .
We love you guys and all your fun activities!
Again, thanks

This place is either a dream or a nightmare for parents. I’m with the latter. While my daughter enjoys the place, there’s just too many kids around. Yeah I’m serious. It’s a safety and sanitary issue. In the play pen, my daughter and I was getting shoved by other kids and I’m not small but I did fear for my daughter so I felt like I had to be in there to make sure she’s ok. This place should be like a club and have a certain amount of people allowed in at the same time. Just saying. For bowling, I’ve only been here once for a small tourney. Not impressed. Doesn’t feel professional of course with all the kids decoration. So it’s just OK in my book.

This place is awesome for kids and adults!!! They have three or four different areas for bowling, oil tables, a bar, laser tag, a ball house an arcade games. We went when we were in Reno with a couple of family members. I wish they’d bring this to California!

This place is reasonably priced
This is for locals and the food is fabulous
6.75 to play all day in the kids structure
Bellissimo

Worst experience ever
Had a birthday party here today spent over 500 $ I do this every year for my kids but today was the worst experience ever will not be coming here ever again.
Let’s start of by saying that the general manager is very unprofessional telling me that he couldn’t do nothing about my purse getting stolen, after the people had be caught going threw different purses at different tables he told the crowed that he or his security couldn’t do nothing, so we decided to call the cops ourself by the time the people had left because the security an the general manager couldn’t do anything, when the cops asked to see the security cameras they said they didn’t have any cameras luckily we had our own footage to show cops, then cop goes an tells us that whenever we come to this place to becareful because people only come here to steel an check out little kids, when the cops said people come check out kids here I totally forgot about my wallet being stolen an hug my child good thing materialistic things can be replace, that fact that this place doesn’t have cameras gives people the safety that they can do whatever they want because they won’t get caught, this time my purse was stolen, an it will be the last time going, but what if someone walked out with someone’s else kid because what will the general manager do then ??? Is going to tell me sorry can’t do anything.

This place is amazing if you have kids. There is a bowling, golfing, go carts, waterpark, and more. When walking in the building it seems a little Damn but when looking around you can see the lit up areas.
The staff is very friendly and nice. I’ve attended and had children’s birthday parties here. The cost for birthday party is about the same if you throw your parties anywhere else that host parties.
There is a bar located in the middle of the coconut bowl building. This is very handy for adults to enjoy themselves along with the children!!!
My favorite food item to get from the coconut bowl is the chili cheese fries. You definitely have to be in the mood for chili to eat enjoy these!!! Their nachos are pretty good as well!
If you have not gone you should at least go once.

Forgot to check in here I believe but it is a part of the Wild Island entertainment land. Big inside with lots of other attractions, like golf and pool. They had a lane deal for $ 35 for the first hour including shoes which came to $ 7 each for our party of 5. I brought my own shoes but it was still the same price. The place was damn crowded after X-​mas day but we were able to get a lane in the back right away. Decent fun but one hour is actually pretty short, although we were probably a bit tired after it anyhow. Great to escape here when its freezing outside, you can also burn a decent amount of cals from bowling. The location is a bit off the beaten path because its all the way in Sparks. ³⁄₅ stars for this place.

I’ve been here many times and the reason for my 5 stars on this particular day is the table service. I’ve been getting very frustrated lately as everywhere I go where food is brought to you table that no one clears anything off. As soon as I was done I put my plate to the side and very quickly am employee said excuse me and took it away. I posted a photo of a young man wiping down a nearby table. As soon as the 2 families left, 2 employees were right there, cleared and sprayed it down and wiped it. I am impressed with this since places I pay a lot of money plus tip have waiters, bussers and managers that walk right by dirty tables and seem to forget that people don’t want to stare at their dirty dishes, napkins, straw wrappers. Far exceeded my expectations. Plus the kids have fun. If I have to sit in this kid place, thank god it’s clean. *Not to mention there’s a full bar here.

This place is great. I wish they had had things like this when I was a kid.
It is great for days that are too hot or cold for playing at the park.
My son has a blast.

This was our first time here and lemme say, this place is so awesome, very clean, fun and family friendly. And Randi by the black light bowling area was so friendly, and despite being new behind the bar, she made yummy drinks and was very professional. 5 stars will definitely come back. Had a great time!

Air conditioning sucks… We are in a league with 26 teams and they refuse to keep the place cooled down.

We just moved close by and discovered How much fun bowling is with black lights Good music Great martinis and food Fun place for the kids too

Where else in the country could you find a place that has miniature golf, bowling, a huge indoor playground for kids, pool tables oh yeah… and two bars? Only in Nevada of course. This place is pretty genious if you think about it.
I have had many birthday parties here. Some date back to the mid 2000’s for my daughter and most recently for my son. You get so much for your dollar when you book a party here. They reserve a table for you and all you have to do is bring in a cake and your peeps.
The place is pretty chaotic at times and overwhelming. I think that is what the bar is for. My kids have enjoyed coming here for years now and I hope it continues to be a mainstay in Sparks.
Now my complaints:
1. The indoor high ballocity area needs to be monitored better. You can find two year olds as well as middle shcoolers running around in there and they don’t seem to have an age limit. I think 6^th grade should be the highest grade allowed in here without an adult.
2. The food quality has gone downhill BIG time. The food and pizza used to be really good at the entire Wild Island establishment but it has steadily decreased in quality.
3. I think they need to have a few more employees just walking around and making sure things are running smoothly. Most employees are either serving food or behind one of the service counters. There are so many people in here that let their kids run amok. I know it should be the parents responsibility but it would be nice to see a few more hall monitors.

So hard to rate because it was a good and bad experience. First off, I had a great time for being a 29 year old in a place that was 90% children under the age of 10 (with little adult supervision I might add). Had a lot of fun bowling, friendly staff, good price but the bowling balls were gross — stuck my finger in a 10 pounder only to pull out a sticky, nasty, i-don’t-know-what-was-inside-it finger and istantly begin my omg I need serious anti-​bacterial sanitation asap. The bathroom may have been worse. Seriously disgusting bathroom frequented by unsupervised children so there was more toilet paper and paper towels on the floor than in the garbage can and unflushed toilets with «serious business» just chillin in there. A couple hours later when I finished bowling and wanted to wash my hands, I found the bathroom in the exact same condition if not a bit worse! Eeewww! But on the flip side the bar was fully stocked, the bartenders were great, and overall I had a fun time!

Wild Island and its subsection of Coconut Bowl offer a lot of activities for children or children at heart. So for that alone, they deserve 5 stars, however there are some kinks they should really be worked out.
This review is specifically for the Pirate Cove Black Light Golf. I went with a group, there were 4 in our party, and we ended up being rushed. The reason is once you get in the course is set out in a way where there are cramped spaces and the holes are too close together. The real kicker however that attributed to the rushed feeling was the fact that the attendant lets everyone in at one time, meaning there were two other groups behind us that had to wait for us to each hit before they could take over the next hole. The attendant should have people wait so the groups have at least 2 – 3 holes between each group. It kind of diminished the fun feeling. Hopefully this is something they will read as this could make a huge difference.

Coconut bowl is great for bowling pool and has lots of entertainment options for kids. I went here for a couple of birthday parties the high ball lost city is a great feature for kids they can run around for hours burning off more energy and then sleep the night away.
The pizza is pretty good the crust is fantastic. I haven’t tried any of their other food options but the pizza is pretty darn good.
The bowling is great. There are always lots of people bowling. I believe they have league play as well as regular rental. They also have a few lanes of «cosmic bowling» with the black lights and such.

I was really looking forward to going here and having some fun while on vacation. After spending much of my vacation exploring Virginia City, Lake Tahoe and much of Reno, I wanted a little ‘down time.’
I found this place on Unilocal at the last minute. It was 7pm, but their hours said that they were open until 10pm so I figured 3hrs was enough time to get in some bowling, go-​karts and mini golf.
Pulled into the parking lot and there was a few employees hanging out by the front door smoking. I know employees are entitled to breaks and what not but it just seemed tacky to be smoking right at the front door, and gossiping about customers.
We went in and saw that they offered a package that had a game of bowling, go-​karts and mini golf for $ 15. I bought 2 of those deals, and also added 2 games of bowling for me and the hubs. Our bill came out to over $ 50. The girl at the counter must have been new. She couldn’t figure out how to ring us up to save her life, she had to keep asking the other employee how to do things. Finally, she swiped our card… then she swiped again, and again and again. This went on for a few minutes, then she manually entered it and said it had been declined. Now, I don’t have a lot of money but… I KNEW that I had sufficient funds and didn’t even need to check my balance. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt cause we had been travelling and maybe the bank thought there was suspicious activity in such a short amount of time. I checked my statement, and nothing was irregular. I went to go get my card, when all of the sudden the guy that was working with her managed to get it to go thru. She must have been entering it wrong.
While we were waiting for the transaction to go thru, and before I went to get my card, there were 2 grown men fighting inside by the bowling alley, right in front of the employees. One even hit the other and they were cussing very loudly. Nobody did anything about it. There is security that works there, but they didn’t even come over.
On my way out to get my card, an employee who I am guessing was a manager or supervisor was outside with the other employees smoking, and laughing about the guys (who at that time did not have the altercation that I witnessed) and what their fight was about. Apparently that lady had known about it as she was able to give the other employees the scoop. What I find troubling is they have a sign posted stating that there is a ZERO tolerance policy against fighting, cussing etc… and yet this lady had knowledge beforehand that these 2 guys had beef, and instead of kicking them out then, she goes outside to gossip about it. So much for their policy. Right there I should have asked for my money back.
Finally paid and got everything straightened out and went to bowl. We got our one game finished and was into the 2^nd one when all of the sudden the machine stops and says to see Attendant to pay for additional games!!! It stopped mid-​game for goodness sakes. We decided to cut our losses and go on with the go-​karts.
The go-​karts were really fun and the guys working there even let us go on more laps and they even provided hair ties, so they get 5 stars for that.
Next we moved on to the mini golf. By that time, it was approaching 930pm. We go in and they say sorry but we cant let you play your game, we stop allowing people to golf at 930. I said that I didn’t care if we weren’t able to finish all 18 holes, that I at least wanted to play some of them and get my money’s worth but she said NOPE. I went back up to the counter and politely explained what happened and asked for a partial refund, and again I was told NO. The guy at the counter said not to worry cause the ticket never expires. That is all well and nice, if I didn’t live like 500 miles away!!! The next day after eating breakfast I gifted one of the waitresses with these tickets, I didn’t want them to go to waste and this place pocket the $$$ for nothing.
I did like the layout of this place and it smells like coconut throughout the whole place.
I will NOT be back and don’t recommend them

Love this place in general… it’s usually great for kids… when it is just kids and not teenagers! I just wish they had someone on staff inside HighBallocity at all times! I took my 2 yr old there the other day and there was some 17, mayb 18 year old guy inside with his younger looking girlfriend, throwing balls at the kids and at me! Not one staff member on duty inside!
I told a staff member sitting next to the laser room, he said he would tell a manager. About 5−10min later, someone in blue came over, glanced in and didn’t even look around fully, for if he had he would’ve seen that the guy was still there! Then he left. No body did anything and I think it is unacceptable.

Just like the water park this place is a huge rip off. Lunch for 2 people cost me as much as it would cost to go to a restaurant that has good food. After about an hour, my son was bored of the ballocity play area.
I suggest if you’re a bowler to go stardust lanes because it’s so expensive to bowl here.
I would say that yes, this would be a good place to do a birthday party, but DONT do it on the weekend. It’s ridiculous.

By day, a little kids playground complete with arcade games, laser tag, ball pits, mazes and mini golf. But by night, the adults take over! The lights are dimmed, the neons come on and beer fueled black light laser bowling madness ensues! My bowling game gets better with each beer, as it does for most people, and my pure bowling awesomeness doesn’t start showing up until about ¾ of the way through the first game at beer number 3. During game #2, I’m on the level bowling strikes or spares in each frame thanks to my secret weapon, beer #4 and half of #5. At at some point after that four and a half beer though, it all goes downhill again. Frames start going back to 5 – 6 pin averages, with gutter balls and an errant strike mixed in, and that’s when I reach, slyly with my foot, for the bumpers to help save my game.
Bumper bowling is a god send, and over the years it has single handedly helped to keep my average game hovering around a 70. You’d think my score would be higher, but that’s on purpose. I don’t want to seem too obvious! When no one is looking, or has had a few too many, I secretly deploy these to keep the drifting ball in the lane. I cannot thank the bowling industry for this enough, and the lanes who make them so easy to use.
Next time you go bowling give it a try. Just don’t let anyone else see the secret. IT’S MAGIC!!!
