I am not a bowling expert. I have not been in decades!
We went not too long after opening on a Saturday, thinking it would be less busy. Well, we only waited about 15 minutes. They have morning leagues. But, just after we started lanes began opening up, say by 11:30.
They brought out a ramp for me to use to push the ball for the start down the lane. This was a wonderful accommodation for my disability! I figured out how to use it well enough in just the first game to pick up at least one spare.
This allowed me to join my child who really wanted to go bowling with me on a family outing.
We also enjoyed some time in the arcade, which includes air hockey. The attendant to redeem prizes at the arcade was very patient and helpful.
I did not check for other routes, but the way I got to my bowling lane I climbed down a couple stairs with no hand railing to the lane area, then up a lip of perhaps 2 inches onto the wood floor each time my turn came up. Additionally, the way the seats are mounted to the floor limited the isle width for mobility equipment. I imagine most bowling alleys probably have these...
Read moreDuring my visit to Delta Bowling Alley, located in Antioch, California; it was a nice bowling alley with modern style bowling lanes that appears to be well maintained and cared for. The bowling alley also offers a small arcade room for middle-aged kids and a Lazar Tag space for teenagers and young adults.
The bowling alley also has a snack bar in case you get hungry. I didn't try out the food, so I don't know if the prices were reasonable or not. It also had a secluded area dedicated for hosting birthday parties or organizational events.

Of course, no bowling alley is responsible for how people act, and I believe that they have procedures in place to ensure that the bowling alley remains safe for all its customers.
Other than that, I recommend that if you are in the Antioch, CA area and are looking for a cool place to hang out and have fun, you should give Delta Bowling...
Read moreThis was our 1st visit to Delta Bowl. A very family-friendly place with bowling, Lazer tag, and an arcade. They have food, drinks, and a full bar. The lanes are well oiled and maintained, as are the lanes. The staff were friendly enough, the patrons were a mixed bag. The 1st family was great to bowl next to, the 2nd family not so much. We don't expect everyone to have bowlers etiquette but picking up after yourself should he common sense. The staff arrived promptly to clean up spilt food and left over trash. My husband returned the extra balls. Overall a great experience and definitely no complaints on behalf of the actual alley. We will...
