Cedar Rapids Bowling Center — Attraction in Marion

A great house to bowl. I've had a bowling locker here for over 8 years even when not in a league. I had a calendar reminder to go pay locker rent pop up last week just like every year. I arrived on 9/1 and went to go check on my locker and pay rent and my bowling gear was gone. Someone else stuff in my locker. I inquired as to where my bowling gear was and how this could happen when I was paid up in rent. The rude kid behind counter could care less. Days later I spoke to management and I was informed they had my gear. They had found that they and a payment record gap if rent was paid to early. I fell into that time slot. I retrieved my gear and informed them that a bowling locker is no different than a storage unit. They must give notice. If I wouldn't have recovered my $1000. worth of bowling gear I would have sued.

We had no issue with keeping score. Though, wonder how other groups had better screen views on the television viewer than ours in tracking the score. As we prefer seeing all ten frames rather than only five. Other bowlers had a different screen. No biggy.

Overall nice ally. Good pricing. Okay atmosphere. Would...

Typically we have a great time here but as we sit here with 35 hollering kids on one side and 10 on the other side of us we can’t help but wish they were more organized about birthday parties. We’ve missed multiple turns on our game from stray balls from the birthday party and had kids almost plow over us running around. Parties are great but make sure they have enough lanes to have the parties all together instead of running them back and forth across other people’s lanes. Or ask the other patrons if they’d be willing to switch lanes to accommodate the party...
