Colonial City Lanes — Local services in Mount Vernon

It’s been a few years since I have taken my kids to Colonial City Lanes. I was pleasantly surprised with the updates and clean, family environment. I was mostly pleased with the kind, courteous gentleman working tonight. He was very helpful -many times-and remained friendly throughout. The owners are also very friendly and generous with their time. The hours of operation were given on a voice message when I called therefore, easy to find.

Also, my brother and his girlfriend enjoyed the bar food, so that's always a plus.

Overall, would definitely return and will definitely recommend this place for bowling to friends that...

Kind of expensive! I took my five year old bowling on a cold Saturday afternoon and the cost for shoe rentals and one game of bowling was $14! The amenities are rather lacking as well. The snack bar consists of overpriced cans of soda and nothing else. There is one small vending machine that has chips and candy bars, again over priced. You can order from Pirates Cove next door, but they have created a limited menu for bowling customers to order from. There are a couple of video games, but no game room. This is not a bad place. It is just not overly...
