They might as well allow smoking inside, because they don't enforce the legal ruling, and everyone sits at the open doors and blows their poison right into the building, so the whole place smells like a cigarette. Absolutely disgusting.
The lanes are beat up. They are 20 years past due for a renovation. The wood is ruined at the foul line. Spares are a rough deal, because the uneven wood throws your ball unpredictably. The ball return is covered in rubber, so you can't spin the ball to find the holes. Love to know who thought that was a good thing. They put couches and a table in each lane, which seems like a good idea, but now there's no room. This is fine for the kids, and an annoyance for everyone else.
The machinery rarely breaks down, though, and the balls return quickly, and I've not seen any damage to my ball from the equipment.

The assigned staffer made sure everything was taken care of, she handled putting all the names into the computer, and helped organize the chaos that was 16 kindergartners handling heavy bowling balls. We bowled and had pizza and cake and then bowled again. Every kid had an amazing time thanks to Palace. The place is very clean, safe, and kid friendly. Will definitely hold more parties there. Very reasonable price too! For 16 kids to bowl and eat pizza for two hours, it was $275. That included a real bowling pin for the kids to sign for the birthday boy to take home, 3 large cheese pizzas, all the soda and juice you can drink, and bowling shoes for all participants. ...
