Leisure World Lanes — Local services in Kirksville

We stopped in here to have some family fun in the ac since it was over 100 degrees outside while we were on our family vacation. When we pulled up the place looks a little rough but not bad. When we get inside the place looks like it hasn't been touched since the 60s or 70s which was kind of cool at first until we realized they haven't done anything since then and smelled badly of smoke. The lanes were all scratched up and had some chunks gone out of them. The bowling balls were even worse. They were all broke with several large chunks gone out of some of them. You couldn't bowl straight if you were a pro. During our game the pins reset several times by themselves and cost us over half our game. When we told management about it he simply said "I'll see where the cycles at" and did not reset our game for us or anything to let us get back the turns it took away from us. We ordered a large pizza when we started and it took them 30 minutes to cook what was more like a small or maybe a medium pizza, when there were no other orders but ours, and when it did finally come out it was of course burnt. The tables and chairs are all half broke and the floor up by the lanes had chunks gone everywhere. One was over a foot long right by our seats. You could easily break an ankle. The ceiling tiles were a nasty yellow from all the smoke with the exception of a few newer tiles. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. The smell was almost unbearable, the stalls were all broke, the sink was black like people had been spitting their chew in them. After seeing the way the bowling alley looked we were to afraid to see what the skating rink might look like. It was very obvious that they focused all of their attention to their billiards room and the bar. Needless to say we will never go back and would not ever recommend this...

Had a skate party booked for 6:30, walked in with our group and I had cupcakes in my hands the first thing the lady at the counter says to us (didn’t greet us first or anything) is “Um No, No cupcakes.” I said “Um why no cupcakes? I booked a party and they said we could bring them in” she says “I don’t have any parties booked tonight.” I said “How not I booked it 3 weeks ago?” She has an attitude and says she can go check but she’s already looked and there were no parties booked. She goes and comes back and says “Someone shoved it off to the side but she found it.” She kept her attitude all night. I get it that it’s her job to keep people from bringing in outside food and drinks but be professional. It’s not that hard to say “I’m sorry but we don’t allow cake/cupcakes unless you have a party booked” someone needs to have a serious talk with this girl about “setting the tone” also none of the girls bathroom stalls have working locks on them, the boys bathroom light was burnt out and The skates were half falling apart. The kids had fun skating but the environment just wasn’t worth the $200+ I spent for the party...

We took our church youth group to bowl. We'd planned on bowling in the late afternoon, but when we called were told that there were leagues in the afternoon and we'd need to come earlier. We showed up on time with 30 kids only to be told they were doing an event with Special Olympics and all the lanes were taken and we would not be able to bowl. That's pretty poor communication on their part.

They said we could skate. With 30 kids and not many options, we skated. The skating was fun. The two ladies who rent out the skates were friendly and helpful. Some of the kids who couldn't skate played billiards. Overall, it was a good experience.

If we had our hearts set on bowling, I would've given them 1 star. If we'd planned on skating from the beginning I would've given them 4 or 5....
