a great center. they have 32 lanes. there is league and open play. open late. friendly staff, and good vibes. there is a bar, a karaoke machine, arcade games, pool table, food, and clean bathrooms. there is a bowling shop that has shoes and serious balls. you can definitely have a lot of fun here, at a reasonable price. you can go bowling by yourself or with friends. There are 10 frames in a game, with two tries each. sometimes you get an extra frame depending on how you do on the last try. the best score you can get is X, falling down all pins in one throw. the next best score is a spare /. removing all pins in two throws. a perfect score is 300. but it does not matter how high your score is if you do not have fun. this is a psychological game that uses muscles of the fingers, wrist, hand, and arm. but the whole body and mind must be synchronized. it is a game of focus and devotion.

Took my boys out to go bowling - we love bowling! It was an early Sunday evening and despite being crowded due to the fact the leagues were competing, there was a lane available for us.
The price was reasonable: about $4 per pair of shoes and I think the game was $5 - and we played 2 rounds. We had a blast! There were birthday parties all around us and the people playing on the lanes on both sides of us were really cool! We all joked and laughed with each other because I am far from a great bowler, but totally down for having fun!
My boys ordered honey chili wings with fries and a pretzel with cheese. They loved it! They didn’t leave anything behind. So, in my eyes, their food was a hit!
Oh - the staff to add were super helpful! My youngest son befriended a gentleman who would help us whenever the ball would get stuck bc remember, we’re not professional bowlers and I think he called him over about 5x and not once did he seem annoyed with us.
Also, I did order a cocktail a cocktail and they delivered it to me at the lane which was sweet. With the small interaction we had with the staff, they were beyond professional so down to earth.
We’re already looking forward to stopping by tot play again! And to close out, even though it was a packed house of blowers / the parking lot had plenty of spaces available. I found one right on the front! Score!!! Definitely check them out if you’re looking for a fun family place to have a great time or simply to hang with friends - you’ll love it!

this place is cool and all but it’s a little… run down. very stuck in the 90’s. also a bit expensive for bowling. only played 2 games and spent over 40 bucks. staff is nice though, bowling was fun. the bathrooms def need a little TLC. there’s flies and it kind of smells like a run down gas station bathroom or a porta potty.

The snacks and drinks were good. The place was a little dirty. The girls who ran the snack bar were phenomenal. Barely anybody was wearing a mask here and the place was packed and no social distancing.

My 3 grandkids love to bowl and the perfect place is St. Charles Lanes. Their parents ( my children ) used to bowl there when young and loved it too. Awesome place!!!!
