Ideal Lanes

A Ripoff if you try to use a coupon from those SaveAround books.
It says 3 free games when 3 regular priced games are purchased for a second person. What they DON’T say is that it will cost you more to USE the coupon than if you didn’t.
They advertise 3 games as costing $ 9 including shoes. But with the coupon it’s suddenly $ 4 a game, with $ 3.50 for each pair of shoes, totaling $ 19 for two people, when it would have been $ 18 without the coupon. When I asked why these higher prices aren’t displayed anywhere, they had no answer for me, and only complained that they «hate explaining the coupon rules» to people, that the adult rate is «just programmed into the computer» that way, and that you’ll just have to ask them at the counter what the real prices are.
That aside, the bowling itself is a fun time, and they have a well maintained and clean building and modern computer screens. Their regular pricing and specials are not bad, just don’t attempt to save money by using a coupon, or you’ll end up spending even more than you would have if you hadn’t.
***UPDATE***
Thanks, Cindy, for clearing that up. Nice to know the owner is so considerate. I’ve adjusted my rating accordingly.

maybe the coupons are a ripoff Ben, we didn’t approve of them they are NOT to be used with specials, read it before you toot your horn and funny thing is we accept the competitions because people bring them here!, LOL and its Ideal Bowling Center, not Ideal Lanes, keep upo with the times!
