Hoosier Bowling Lanes

Visit this location for the first time. If I didn’t have someone with me that was ready to go right in there we would have left like I should have. The place needs a good cleaning. Not only that but the bowling machines operated at about 50% of the time. I had to manually change our score probably 30 times. Overall it could be a nice little place but somebody needs to put money in time and to fix this place up. Also when you charge $ 4.50 a game customers are going two expect more out of you is that is the same cost as the very fancy bowling alleys in Louisville Kentucky.

Yea, no thanks. I’m sure we will find another place to go bowling from now own. We don’t go bowling much. We aren’t pros and honestly I’ve never even get close to a 100 score because I suck. But, it is still fun and I do enjoy bowling from time to time. We went last week. Myself, the hubby, and our 4yo son. As soon as we walked in there was an odor that I cannot explain. It smelled, bad. We didn’t walk out, however because let’s face it, we promised our 4yo to go bowling after weeks of sickness going on in our family and I was not about to listen to that temper tantrum. We paid for our games, got our shoes, got our balls, etc. We asked for one of those things to help kids put the ball on top and roll it down the lane. The guy told us he’d bring it right over.
So, we went and put our names into the thing and put our shoes on so when he came we would be ready. We were done pretty quickly and waited about 10 minutes. I finally looked up and he was over at the food window talking to another employee. Just posted up as comfortable as could be. I asked hubby to go see if he could get it. He did. The guy finally brought it over.
Finally, our bowling adventure started. Yay! Or so I thought. Almost every single time we sent a ball down the lane it got stuck (in the back, I’m assuming). We would have to bowl a totally different ball on our second bowl to get both balls to return to us. Not to mention it kept getting stuck period and we had to reset the lane. We were able to do so every time but once when a guy had to go back and reset it himself.
Of course, after all the waiting for balls, resetting, etc, etc, etc our 4yo was totally disinterested so my husband and I bowled his turns to hurry and get out of there. Now, before any of you say anything my 4yo loves to bowl and we’ve never had an issue with him getting bored. It is a bit much when every time you bowl the lane messes up or the ball doesn’t return to you. I believe it is safe to say we will not be back. We will go to a different place. At this point I would much rather drive to Louisville to go bowling.
