Sproul Lanes

Very bad! I agree With Ryan s. The guy working the counter had a bad attitude and took a long time. When I notified that I was standing there, he said wait and took another 5 minutes. Other the that, bowling was ok.

Me and my pals one day decided that we we should go bowling. We saw that sproul lanes was in our neighborhood so we went there. When we arrived, we were glad to see all the available lanes. However, there was a large line of around 10 people (about 3 groups). The employee working the cash register, also the current owner, took about 20 minutes just to get to us. And when we got to the front of the line, he told us that they were all booked with reservations and wouldn’t let us play. He told us that it would be a 30 minute wait and that there were to many reservations. We waited the 30 minutes but once we got back he said it was another hour. This flustered me. And even worse, when he spoke, spit, from his mouth, hit me in the face. His attitude was annoying. If your in the area, I recommend going some where else

My family and I recently bowled here for Father’s Day and we LOVED it! We hadn’t been here in years, but chose this location based on pricing, even though it was a longer distance from our home than other bowling alleys. This is NOT a case of «you get what you pay for.» Staff is friendly, equipment (shoes, bowling balls, lanes, computerized scoring, seating, etc) is in great shape, the other bowlers were fine (no riff raff) and even the snack bar was reasonably priced and delicious. There’s a small arcade with a few games, some claw machines, skeeball, basketball, and air hockey. We got the $ 5/​per person special for two games and shoe rental and our family of five thoroughly enjoyed ourselves for $ 25 bucks!

We came here last night on a whim with our 16 month old son and a neighbor and were lucky enough to get a lane without making a reservation. We had a great, great time! It was a tad expensive $ 18.25 per hour per lane, but it was a Friday night. Shoe rentals were an additional $ 3.40 per rental. The guys running the cashier were sweethearts and really friendly and always smiling. They provided us with a dragon ramp for our 16 month old! He had the best time! Even though it was packed, we had no problem finding balls that we felt comfortable with, which is usually a problem at bowling alleys. The establishment had a snack bar and an arcade. It was definitely family oriented. No bar on the premises! We got lucky getting a lane on a Friday. In the future, I will reserve my lane online. (They said they have a website where you can do that). Don’t worry about parking! They have a huge lot!

My husband and I had a «date night» here on a fairly slow Saturday night.
Everything was smooth and easy from the web-​based lane reservation process to the clean lanes, to the slick bottoms of the rental shoes.
We bowled 3 games each and had a great time.
Can’t wait to take our 8 year old here.
No, it’s not a chi-​chi North Bowl — but this is old school bowling in a clean (even the ladies room was clean!) well-​lit environment.
And there is a snack bar — and arcade area.
FUN TIMES!

I’m by no means a seasoned bowler but I’m giving Sproul Lanes my seal of approval. I’m definitely comfortable here on the real wood lanes as opposed to synthetic. I do hear grumblings about «too much oil» from some of the bowlers who also bowl elsewhere but it doesn’t really affect my game of just flinging the ball top speed at the headpin.
Sproul may not be a Strike but it certainly picks up a spare in my book. Ugh! I hate myself for this review.

Stopped in to get a ball drilled up at the pro shop and bowled a few games.
This place gets it and is upgrading like crazy.
Looks good, and they have little dinosaurs for ball ramps.
I’d suggest this and go in the area to bowl.
Good stuff all around.

Love Sproul Lanes — its super clean with no smoking and no alcohol. I like that its a family run business and that the actual lanes are the old school wood as opposed to the synthetic kind popular nowadays. We hosted our daughters 3^rd birthday party here and all the kids LOVED it! — There is plenty of parking and the price is just right. Its a great place to bring your family and easy to find.
Oh and the best part for the kids — not only do they have kid bumpers they have these dragons that propels the ball down the lane. Its geared towards the little kids and it works — they had plenty of dragons 10 or so — can’t wait to go back!

Bowled here several times with friends — even without bumpers!
Easy parking. Roomy. Affordable rates — credit cards accepted. Food’s available, and there are a few arcade machines too, I think? (Never played them.)
Conveniently close to Springfield Mall.
