Miracle Bowl

I went here with a few friends on a Friday around 5:30pm ish. It was actually very empty, but I’m guessing it was because most people in UT were either just getting off of work or still at home getting ready to go out.
It was actually very nice how silent it was there, well besides the thundering sound of my friends who don’t know how to bowl. At first there was no music playing, but after another couple showed up the music started.
The outside of the place looks very sketchy and overdue for a paint job, but the inside is very clean. I want to say they have 16 lanes but it may be more. They also 4 pool tables and a few little arcade games.
They have the normal bowling alley menu, but I didn’t see anyone order any food when I was there even when it got more crowded for cosmic bowling.
I’m not sure what the breakdown of the charges were but we paid $ 45 for people, 2 games each and shoes. They have some great specials during the week days, I think I saw a flyer for $ 0.75 games on Tuesdays or Thursdays with a $ 5 cover. The pool tables have a $ 10 refundable deposit and $ 1 per game.
I would not hesitate to go back. It may not be the most up to date bowling alley, but it’s nice to get away from the crowd.

We really enjoyed Miracle Bowl! We found their facility to be very clean. We felt that their alleys were very well maintained, their house balls were in great condition and were not chipped! The electronic scoring is very reliable and fun to use! We highly recommend this facility! Very fun and we would definitely go to Miracle Bowl again! Thank you!

If you’re a competitive bowler like myself and you spin the ball don’t go to this ally. The lanes haven’t been waxed in what seems like weeks to months. My ball was getting no break at all. Go to Jack & Jill’s in American Fork or Fats Cats in Provo because the lanes here are not properly taken care of. Won’t be returning. Would have rather wiped my ass with the 20 $ bucks I paid to bowl there.

We always have fun at Miracle Bowl. It is clean, has electronic scoring, and a reasonble snack bar. We wish they had newer bowling balls, however.

This place accomplishes what it sets out to do — it provides bowling. The building itself is fairly small. I think there are only about 16 lanes total, but it doesn’t seem to be crowded if you go on a Saturday afternoon. Forget Monday or Friday nights. On Mondays, you have the huge families that like to go for the Monday discount on games and shoes. Oh, how we Mormons love a good deal! The place is packed on Friday nights with the kids from the local high school that like to pretend their emo and make out with their «sweethearts» in between each of their turns. There is a section in the back with about four pool tables, and these also attract the high school folk. Sorry, but it’s not really my ideal outing to have to deal with these kids… hmm…perhaps I’m bitter about my age. No, I think it’s just that some of the only «fun» places around Provo and Orem are usually swarming with crazy hormonal teenagers.
Enough for that rant… Miracle Bowl is pretty good for the purpose of bowling. I recommend it more than the bowling alley on BYU campus, which appears much smaller and typically houses the married couples who need to find a date close to their off-​campus apartment and can’t find a sitter so they bring their 4-​month old. But no matter where you go in this little valley, you can’t escape the bubble… perhaps only some may know what I mean by that.
