Pin Station — Local services in Newton

Currently they are unable to take debit cards! I checked the website last night NO WHERE did it mention that. I was referred to the generic ATM where I'm sure I'll be charged the ATM fee plus the banks fee. Whereas had I known in advance I would have stopped at one of the 3 FREE ATM's I passed on my way there!!! Also as a special needs family I requested a lane on the end without any one on either side. I was BLUNTLY told no that they couldn't do that because "we must fill in" the lanes as they come. Did I mention that my family was one of the first ones there when they opened at 1pm on a Sunday afternoon! There was a family at the very first lane and as far as i could tell they werent there for a reserved birthday party either. My husband took my stepson the restroom, where he told me it smelled of urine as if it hadn't been ever cleaned. When my husband asked for the manager he was told "I dont think hes here today". Then when asked for the number to Pin Station "we cant give out personal numbers''. Never did he ask for the managers personal number. As for the lanes the approach felt as if its been years since they've seen a coat of wax or let alone a broom! You should be able to slide up to the lane.... well tell my ankle that! My husband and I both were almost injured during what should have been a fun cheap Sunday afternoon. As for the shoes well we all know bowling shoes are meant to be ugly! But these shoes were ill fitting at best and all we were offered were Velcro ones that couldnt be...

The facility is nice, food is decent and inexpensive. The counter staff is extremely rude and need some training. To ask 10 people to bowl on 1 lane is simply ridiculous. We met six (three being children 9 and under) of our friends there for a fun night out. My wife and I asked for a lane close to them. The lane directly next to them was open, she refused to put us close to them. Saying their policy was 10 people on a lane before they would give u 2 lanes. Do you have any idea how utterly ridiculous that is? And how long it would take to bowl even 1 game? As I said, we wanted our own lane. She was rude and had no understanding of the fact that we would be more likely to bowl more games if we had 2 lanes. I'm sorry, I thought it was a good thing to want to bowl multiple games. Dont you CHARGE by the game. We understand that you are the only bowling center in the area, as the other center in town is so old and rundown you risk having your ball damaged because of bad equipment. Oh well, we would have spent at least $50-$75 here. Guess you dont need the revenue. I've bowled for over 20 years in many states and centers. And have never been subject to such an asinine policy. Maybe someone needs to open a center up in this area to teach you all how it should be done. Then you'll learn. Unbelievable.. and get this, they only take cash!! Hello anyone from the...

😡😡 Went to a friend of my sons Birthday party yesterday. The girl working at the counter (Shoes, an getting lanes etc.) Was very rude an snapped me off when I was simply letting her know that their photo booth messed up my first round of pics.They printed, but was messed up at $3 a pc. I did get my $3 back. So thought I'd try it one more time for myself. Seemed like it was working in process of it printing my 2nd $3 round the screen went blank/black (didn't print at all.)🤪😡 So went back up there to let them know that It was broken an didn't print my photos at all this time. She snapped me off grrr. Which was so unnecessary, but at least I got my $3 back again. On top of that they knew their was a birthday party. Made all of us ( Like 15 people move lanes 4 different times.) Because a bowling league was coming in. They should have known to put us at a diff end instead of kept on making us move multiple times Common Sense . You'd think they'd mange parties an bowling leagues better. 🤪🤪 Needless to say none of us adults were to happy with our experience. The bathrooms was beyond disgustingly filthy. Other then that they do have decent prices on food etc, but food counter. 😬 Let's just say Unsanitarry. 😡 (Soo all reviews bout how the food counter side is VERY TRUE.!!) Only bright side was that all the kid's had fun.....
