K-Bay Lanes

We went here to celebrate my sons 10^th birthday and we had a blast. It was a little bit of a bummer when they told us that there wasn’t going to be any cosmic bowling due to construction on some of the lanes but we still had fun. The food was surprisingly good. Very large portions. Staff were ok, could have been a little more professional but it’s all good. Overall a great place to celebrate a birthday, spend time with friends, or just have a fun family day.

K-​Bay lanes
Holy men’s bathroom noises Batman. The one thing that you do not want to hear around probably armed soldiers that want to get into the men’s room is a huge ‘BANG!’ The door when just opened with normal speed makes a huge bang sound. Just be warned to be super gentle as if you are carrying a sleeping 3 day old infant and that is the speed that should be used opening and closing.
The lanes– there is not that much different that can be done with the lanes. You really can’t change the game at all. It all has to be the same. Here though the overhead score boards are probably the coolest I have ever seen. Pretty good graphics that change pretty much every bowl and then repeat some after a while. They do tell you with a moving pointing arrow the time that it is to change lanes for team bowlers.
Yes, they say they have neon bowling, but nothing changes except the over head lights– doesn’t change the game at all like Baseball was only played during the daytime, then when parks finally installed real night lights — games could be played at night and then it really changed the games in the way they were played.
Food that is pretty good in the food counter area. Different than just all the normal food with some spicier sauces that go with normal fries and sandwiches. Good/​normal prices.
Shoe rental and games are pretty cheap, they have specials since they are on base for the families so reading it ahead of time lets you know when there are lane closers for competitions and when it is a deal.
Again– it is on base, so I don’t get there often.

Was here for Special Olympics. Because of a scheduling FUBAR on Special Olympics end (and some other things I won’t go into since it’s doesn’t pertain to K-​Bay as a facility), the group I ended up with were pretty much rushed into the lanes to do our thing and had no time to fully partake what K-​Bay had to offer. I barely even got time to take pics of the Video Arcade or even get a drink from the bar.
I did get to bowl, and upon entering, I see a small rack totally devoid of «alley balls.» Some of us were kinda wondering if K-​Bay had alley balls, and sure enough, they were near the front of the lanes. Wish they were at least in a more visible area from the entrance way. The waiting area to bowl was kinda dark and given the darkness of the floor and steps, I’m surprised I didn’t see too many people tripping a/​or injuring themselves. Bowled a set and got a bronze medal for the group bracket I was in with my group. Would come again if only given time to take in the full amenities of the facility.

First time using my Friends of K-​Bay pass. They even gave me a coupon for free game and shoe rental. Michelle behind the counter was really friendly. It wasn’t super busy thank goodness. My son was set up with a ramp and bumpers. They have small shoe sizes for the little ones and light balls that you don’t have to ask for. The machine was easy to use and graphics fun. Little sad I didn’t see a turkey when I got one though. When our balls got stuck and I pressed the service button we waited a little bit before I had to get help but they finally came to our rescue. Bathrooms are clean, background music good, great overall. Definitely worth the drive to come bowling here.

Bowl & Food! This place isn’t very packed, from what I see, and the food at Striker is very good. If you have access to get on base. This place beats any place off base, due to not being crowded.

Great place to take your family during the weekend especially when it’s gloomy and raining. It’s a fun place without overspending. This is located inside the Marine base in Kaneohe so you’ll need base access. There is also a place to get food/​refreshments called Strikers Grill & Tap. I have added a menu sample. The staff are very friendly and the place is clean. Music was great and my little one loves the ambience! She already asked me to bring her back there next weekend so that’s definitely a plus. Epic win! Will def come back here again: D
