King Pin Lanes

This was my first visit here and will definitely be back! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the old school pricing per game per person (very reasonable rates, too) instead of an hourly rate. Much more affordable for us, and I wasn't stressed at three kids for not rushing through the game so we could try to "get our money's worth" out of an hourly lane. We'd already eaten before going bowling, so I can't speak to food quality or service. The man working the front counter was friendly and very helpful as was the lady who was going around keeping things wiped down. The place was very clean and had no off odors. It's an old bowling alley, but it's been updated and well maintained. The lighting was just right (I have light sensitivity) and the background music was also just right (2 kids have sound sensitivity). It wasn't busy when we arrived around 7:30pm on Saturday, but it picked up over the next hour and was busy when we left around 9:30pm, yet it didn't feel crowded. They have gutter guards for the little kids that are programmed for the kid's name, so only he got the cheater help haha.We very much enjoyed our evening at King Pin.

All they ever do is discriminate against people with special needs such as myself. Earlier today, my group went there and we left immediately because of the boorish way they treated us. King Pin Lanes shouldn't be in business at all if they cannot accommodate to people with special needs.Do not go there to bowl if you know someone like us. We deserve better treatment.

I've been looking for a good bowling alley. This place is it. Great prices. Very well kept. Lanes are oiled perfectly.

We've always had good experiences here. I'm kinda disappointed by some of the old reviews, not that I don't believe them just sad that they had a bad experience in a place we've enjoyed so much over the years. I personally find King Pin's lanes to be among the best kept in town. Covid hit them hard I hear, and I imagine keeping it afloat through that was a monumental task with overwhelming financial pressure. I don't really know much about the owner personally, but I hope they are in a better financial place these days. We sure plan to give them some support.

My Girlfriend and I visited this bowling location to enjoy some bowling together. This location is really close to home that's why we decided it'd be a great fit to enjoy our time. Although the bowling experience was nice. The other things around it is what makes this review only 2-3 star worthy.Once my Girlfriend and I arrived to the location and checked in at the front desk a woman employee somewhat looked confused to what we were standing at the front desk for. We spoke and said that we were interested in getting a lane. The employee gave us our shoes, but didn't really mention how much the the cost would be per game & per person. We didn't mind out until after how much the price was. It was only $27 for 3 games with 2 people which isn't too bad, but it would've still been nice to know beforehand.This location started to get pretty busy around 6:00pm-6:30pm on a Sunday. Once my Girlfriend and I were done bowling we were at the front counter to return our shoes and pay for our session, but it started to get busy to where the people who were working the front counter had other places to help out as well from what it seemed like . So there was a few minute wait for us being helped out.Also most if not all of their bowling balls aren't labeled to what weight size they are. It's not the biggest deal in the world but it makes it easier for the bowler using their bowling balls. Besides the fact of those miscues it was still a nice time. We'd still probably return back to this location, but wouldn't box ourselves into just this one location in the area.

February 17, 2025: I enjoyed my first league here, but my positive view of this place has fallen quickly. They have a decent atmosphere. It's an older bowling alley and they have issues that can be expected of an older bowling alley. There is a grill that serves up pretty good food and a separate bar that makes good drinks. There is no Pro Shop. The everyday staff (cooks, bartenders, front staff, and mechanics) hold this place together. The ownership, they're a different story. The place is essentially slowly falling apart. There are constant issues with their pin resetters, balls get caught up either in the backend or in the ball return, and the place is often short-staffed. It is very apparent that the owners do not put any money back into the place. I am surprised that bowlers continue to bowl here. I don't know how long they're willing to hold their loyalty this place. The owner keeps taking their money and will not make any improvements. It is very surprising that this place is able to hold any USBC sanctioned leagues or tournaments. On Friday, Feb 7, 2025, I was bowling a weekly league and there was a severe lane condition issue on all 24 lanes. I went to the front counter during our practice time and reported the issue to the staff. I was told by the staff that the lanes were oiled the same as they were in previous weeks. The issue was the whole lane was oiled, to include the backend and pin area. Bowlers that are able to curve or hook the ball several boards were only able to throw straight balls. I reported the issue again immediately after practice and the staff said there was nothing they could do. We reported the issue to our league president and he said there was nothing he could do. He said they had a similar issue like this before and nothing was done. My team and I tried to bowl the first game, but I tried adjusting my throw to the point of injuring my back and a teammate injured his knee. I filed a formal protest and nothing was done through my league, even after the league discussed the issue with Pikes Peak USBC. I will continue to escalate the issue until I receive some sort of satisfactorily course of action.I placed a review on Google discussing the issue I had on Feb 7th and I guess the owner did not like it. As part of the reply from my league president concerning my formal protest, I was told that the owner wanted an apology. An apology for what? Their machine either was not ran properly or had a malfunction severely changing the oil pattern. They never reported the issue to our president or the other league president bowling on the front 12 lanes. They never offered to re-oil the lanes or run their machine again in attempt to correct the issue. They never offered the option to have us replay the night at a later date. Instead, they collected their money from 120 bowlers and offered nothing to correct the issue. Who should be apologizing? Me for reporting the issue, or the owner for doing nothing to correct the issue?This place should not be operating under their current ownership. I do not know how they continue to maintain their USBC sanction. I get it, there are only so many places to bowl in the area. If you are given the choice of where to hold your league, tournament, or regular Saturday night fun night, I would choose somewhere else until this place gets their act together. I will finish my league out of here this season, but I will likely not return unless they make some real changes.

A gray haired lady was working the front counter, said they didn't accept Apple Pay when online it says they do. When checking out, she made me use the ATM to pull out cash to pay, only to find out that they do accept contactless payment including Apple Pay. She argued with me saying "you said Apple Pay" but none the less, THEY ACCEPT ALL FORMS OF CONTACTLESS PAYMENT. It was extremely embarrassing and a line formed behind me, all because an employee didn't know how to do her job.

The old grey haired lady has no idea what she's doing. Doesn't understand the systems she's using. Shorted the drawer on accident so made us pull out cash to pay the rest. Get her outta there. she deserves a personal thumbs down.

Best place to play some classic bowling. This place is the spot to chill. Nice owners always there running the place.

Very reasonable priced and I love the atmosphere of early 2000's bowling area. It's cozy. The staff was really nice, I enjoyed my two alone games and they were great the whole time.
