Olympia Lanes/The Alley — Local services in Greeneville

This is a good place to take the kids on a rainy day. I signed my girls up (their 10, 6, and 2 yrs old) for the kids bowl free summer program they offer, and I bought the offer they have for parents or friend to bowl with them. (It's optional as you may know, and it cost around $35.) Anyway they had a pretty good time and there was only a few people there it was somewhere between 3pm-5pm. They also have a good size game room if your interested in that kind of thing. My only complaint is you do have to pay the shoe rental which is not included in kids bowl free or the adult pass you pay for. The shoe rental for the 4 of us was like $17. I know that's probably not a lot your thinking, but for some people it's really to much. Especially if you don't read the fine print and your surprised with that when you get there. My opinion when it says kids bowl free it should be free right. On top of that if you got the adult pass to bowl for $35 shoes should be included in the cost, but I understand the adults paying shoe rental I get that. I just think the shoe rental for the kids should be waived and that's only my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong, but as we were leaving a family (husband, wife, and they had 6 girls) were coming in to bowl and they were unaware of the shoe rental not being included, and you could just tell he really couldn't afford to pay it. What could he do but pay it he had their hopes up as doing something as a family he couldn't just leave really. It makes me wonder if he truly didn't have the money to pay would they've turned them away?? I wouldn't have the heart to and hopefully they couldn't either. I'll close this and quit ranting and tell you overall we had a pretty good time and my girls enjoyed bowling their first time. I would recommend this place for fun family day I just wanted to put my opinion out there. I hope this helps another person plan their day with...

I have gone multiple times since the re opening and let me tell you it’s a MAJOR improvement. I haven’t gone in a couple of years so I thought I’d check it out since I had heard all about the re model. I didn’t notice any changes until I looked at the old photos of the alley. They shocked me since there used to be a brick wall behind the lanes, and dull colors on every wall. Since the remodel, the walls have been painted with vibrant colors. The seating behind the lanes is nice, and the automating scoring is definitely a plus. My complaints are that occasionally the lanes require resetting, and a couple throws aren’t scored correctly. Another complaint is that the prices can be high depending on the amount of people playing. Four games with one other person is split 27 ish with shoes. But with 4 people for 3 games is around 100 all together. So if you plan on playing often, expect to buy a kids bowl free pass. For a price of around 30, everyone on the pass can bowl 2 free games per day.As long as you are accompanied with a kid on the pass of 15 years of age or younger, everyone that accompanies the kid that is also on the pass can bowl 2 free games. However, everyone will still has to pay the 4 dollar shoe rental fee. All in all, I believe this is a wonderful place for a night of fun, just be aware of the occasionally inaccurate...

My kid has been on a bowling league in murfreesboro, so we have been bowling quite frequently. I say this to classify our experience with bowling alleys. This one is ok. The machines make a lot of noise (more than regular bowling alley machines), and several times the pins did not set up correctly. It is pretty expensive. $9 for 1 game and shoes and $4.50 for other games. They charge for credit cards. I think it was $1.50 charge. The lady didn't mention this, and I didn't see any signage for it. The alley was clean, and the people running it were nice. There were 12 or 14 lanes, not a big place, but we had...
