I only bowl occasionaly, so as far as I can tell the lanes are good enough, but if you don‘t bring your own ball then expect to use one that looks like something out of a Fred Flintstone cartoon...they all look like someone took a hammer to them and just started chipping away.
They have a lot of lanes with bumpers so a good place to bring the youngsters.
The last time they updated anything was in the early 80‘s and it looks like it, it is definately dated.
And the people behind the counter act like they don‘t care if you are there or not, not exactly friendly service with a smile.

This was one of the worst experiences I‘ve had bowling in the past 10 years. The lanes are shabby and run down (with ancient-looking screens and scoring), the balls are beat up and on multiple occasions almost cut my hand, and the staff started closing down the building an hour early while we were still inside (Shut down all the lanes and started turning off lights).
If you want to bowl, go to the Memorial Union. This place might as well just roll over and die.
