Timber Lanes Bowling

It’s been six years since the last review. I figured I would update. It’s almost as if this place is frozen in time. It’s still a little worn, but it’s still really affordable and Phil is still doing the amazing online deals in the summer.
My mom wanted to bring her hoard of grandchildren out for an affordable time. I suggested she look to see if the lanes were on sale for the next day, which was a Friday. They weren’t but the lane was $ 40 for six people, including shoes. Still a pretty good bargin if you ask me, and it’s for 2 hours. She had me book it. Literally only 20 minutes later, I get an email from the email list saying it’s 90% off for the weekend. Although the lane is non-​refundable, I figured I would call and ask if I could get the better price. I think I talked to Phil, but I don’t know for sure, which doesn’t matter because as soon as I said I had just booked prior to the email, he was already telling me to rebook because he refunded my original purchase. So, I booked two lanes for about $ 8. He didn’t have to, but I appreciate him doing so anyway. Phil is a stand-​up guy who runs a great business.
On Friday afternoon, we had the place to ourselves, so the hoard was loud and had a great time. We had a ball return breakdown and it was fixed in minutes by a really nice young guy. Then the bumper was knocked down by one of the boys with bad aim… Ooops! It was fixed quickly. The kids wore themselves out and we had money left over to make a DQ run. All in all, it was a good day.
On a previous occasion, I did visit their bar. They had a few board games and pull tab lottery games. They serve some bar food (fries, wings, etc). Nothing amazing, but it’s made in one of those frying machines and decently priced. The drinks are also decent.
So, get on the email list, book a lane (or two) and if you get the really good bargins, go to the bar and buy a round (or two).

Nice place to bowl. Very small and clean, the perfect place for children’s parties. They have fun themed night that are very I’m to go to,

I used to come here all the time as a kid and had a great time after moving out of state and returning after years I wanted to bring my new family here to have good time. Long story short they haven’t done any improvements for 20 years it seems and the staff is rude I found other new bowling venues that are much better now and a lot cleaner.

Been here a few times, always with a Groupon in hand. It’s a cheap, budget friendly activity and we end up having a decent time (more because of the company than the place itself). Timberlanes is dated though well kept and clean. Guys at the counter for shoes are always friendly but don’t expect the free socks like Boston Bowl should you forget them during sandal season. A bummer is that alcoholic drinks are not allowed on the lanes. It definately contains the rowdy crowds and makes it a more family friendly environment. But since I don’t have kids, it really detracts from the fun when you can’t sip on a beer as you bowl.

We had a great time bowling Saturday night with our kids. They loved the darkened lanes and coloured lights, and we loved the awful & classic & great ‘80s music and videos. Fun! Lanes and balls are in very good condition and the staff was friendly and helpful with our groupon. The other bowlers around us were having a great time as well which added to the party atmosphere. We will be back.

Amazing place! Great prices!!! Deals all the time!!! Kids love
It here!!! Both of my kids
Did bowling league on Saturdays and it was such an amazing thing for the kids!!!

I’ve been coming here since I played in the youth leagues when I was 8.
Fun times and with the bar attached to the ally, even better when I turned 21.

We visited this place after eating at Stockholders. The place is small, clean and everyone working here were nice and helpful. We bowled a few games. Mind you, the scoreboard is manual. No biggie. Also, found out they’re going to honor our expired Groupon for FULL value. AWESOME, we definitely will be back to use it. See you soon

Cheap bowling, decent prices for something to do BUT for the amount of money I paid to have my daughters birthday party– the hospitality and attitude of the mid-​aged gentleman behind the shoe counter (who appeared to be the only worker) was disappointing.
Also they did away with the designated party room that they use to have– so the table and chairs were set up behind the lanes– the kids meshed into another birthday party going on at the same time.
I paid $ 35 as a deposit. Then another $ 170 for 13 kids, for two hrs. the deposit didn’t go towards the cost of the kids.
They did provide paper plates, a table cloth, and spoons. (Brought my own plates, drinks cake, ice cream and other food).
When I asked the mid-​aged employee for more spoons he snidely said «oh well there were only suppose to be enough for the kids» which there wasn’t … I was very polite and thankful but He had a poor attitude and demeanor. It also said they would clean up after the party and didn’t. No one came over to help– or offer a hand and I ended up doing it myself. For the $ 205 plus $ 100+ for party supplies– I could have had it at a nicer place with someone more pleasant. Not the service I was use to as a kid. Disappointed.

First time here and maybe last time as candle pin bowling is not my thing. But if you are into candle pin bowling, then it would be a good place to come. I just didn’t like the fact that the lanes are outdated and the machines and scoring are all manual (if it’s like that in all candle pin bowling) then I guess It’s all good.

Pros: very affordable compared to other bowling alleys.
Cons: we went on «moonlight Oldies night». There was no «moonlight», only darkness, and no live DJ or band, just piped in moldy oldies. They could purchase a disco ball for 50 bucks, but they choose to put zero effort into creating any kind of atmosphere.
Overall: great place for no-​frills bowling. That’s it.

I’ve bowled here a bunch of times! This is a great place! They always have a groupon running fro time to time, too!!! They have Squire’s loft attached and there is always a lot of people in there when I’m bowling. I’m not a big drinker so I don’t know much about the bar part.
But, the bowling is great! They do have moonlight bowling. I’d give it 5 stars. But, it would be much cooler if on Saturday nights they would have much more hipper music! They would definitely get more people in there! Maybe like switch it up and have like an 80’s night or 70’s night. Not everyone like’s oldies. I was so bummed. I wanted to have my Birthday there. and it turned me off. I went somewhere else where the music was cooler, unfortunately.
BUT, this place is still a very amazing place, clean, cheap and everyone is very nice!

I went with my sister and my two young daughters ages 8 and 9. We had purchased a GROUPON for unlimited Cosmic Bowling. between the 80s music and videos, fog machines and lazer lights we all had a BLAST! The 2 men at the counter (possible owners) were so helpful and reminded me how to run the electronic board. A+++ I would recommend this place in a heart beat AND It was considered COOL by my 2 girls.

This is a nice clean great bowling alley. I would visit this place all the time if i could

This place kicks ass. It’s a nearly-​perfect combo, actually. Bowling + attached bar + internet-​reservation specials = awesome.
If there were a couple of pool tables, an arcade, maybe a hookah bar… I might never leave.
We’ve been here twice so far, and both times have been a blast. If I could stop sucking at bowling, it would be even better. In the meantime, this place is great for practice. The guys that work here are friendly and helpful, and the bar has Megatouch games. Megatouch! I haven’t played those games in forever, and they’re a fun diversion while taking a bar break.
Also, neon orange and yellow bowling shoes are win. I love them.

I love this place. The only reason I’ve only been once is because when I went to Bridgewater I heard it was expensive. That’s not the case, however. It was actually a really good deal when my husband&I went with his family for his birthday. I think it was all candlepin, which I like better anyways (I only weigh 107lbs., so even a 5lb. bowling ball is annoying to have to bowl with), and they can put the bumpers up for kids. The guy was also cool about me having to try different sized shoes (for some reason bowling shoes are always at least a full size smaller than my regular shoes), and at the end gave us a print out of our scores, which I have never seen another bowling alley do. He helped us figure out how to use the machines to keep track of our score too, since we had forgotten candlepin I guess scores differently than regular.

it’s a bowling alley — with a bar — sassy bartenders & lots of fun

Timber Lanes is a good local cheap fun night out if you live around Abington. They do have a small bar there, so you can have a drink or two before you bowl. I won’t be on bowling for dollars anytime soon, so I don’t know what makes a good lane or a bad lane. The balls seem to go straight and the pins fall over, what more do you want? They do Cosmic Bowling, and Bowling to the Oldies on weekend nights. You’ll have to deal with the teenyboppers on a Friday or Saturday, but there is the bar! So sneak away and have a few gin and tonics and after a while you don’t even notice the kids. A good cheap way to spend a couple of hours doing something different.

I loveeee this place. It’s much cheaper than Boston Bowl.
However.
You are NOT allowed to use certain ‘naughty’ words as your name on the scoreboard.
This is very unfortunate for everyone out there named Dick or Tits.
Anyway.
This place also has a little bar! Sure, there’s not much on tap, but they serve all your favorite fried foods AND they have bunch of boardgames! Drink a bud light, eat a fried ravioli AND play jenga before you bowl. How can you lose? You can’t. Go to Timberlane’s immediately.
