Disappointing experience — especially for families
I rarely leave negative reviews, but I felt it was absolutely necessary after our visit to Chinook Bowladrome. Unfortunately, the experience was far from enjoyable.
The staff were surprisingly rude and dismissive, especially toward the kids in our group. It was disappointing to see such a lack of patience and basic courtesy in what should be a family-friendly environment. The way they spoke to the children was uncalled for and frankly, disrespectful.
Beyond that, the facility itself is in serious need of renovation. The lanes and equipment felt outdated, and the overall atmosphere was worn down and uninviting. It’s clear that not much has been invested into upkeep or customer experience in quite some time.
We came hoping for a fun outing but left feeling frustrated and unwelcome. I truly hope management takes these concerns seriously and works to improve both the service and the condition of the place. Until then, I wouldn’t recommend it — especially for families.

Made a reservation for a Saturday which was not needed as the place was not busy. They have a lot of lanes. Staff were quick to welcome us and get shoes; I wish they also provided disposable socks too; so please wear your pair of socks else you may need to wear the shoes without socks ( they no not allow you to bowl with your running/ sports shoes). Friendly staff I must say, I see some bad reviews about the staff and service. I did not experience this. We were a group of 4, and we bowled for an hour. The price was good especially for the amount of fun we had. I liked that it was not too busy so we were not shy to bowl gutter balls . I loved my visit to this place and I recommend it.

I have never seen such terrible service. employees are a couple of schoolchildren. At the bar there is a red-haired, uncultured boy with long hair.
We ordered pizza with bacon and mushrooms, waited 30 minutes, received without bacon.
We reordered and got it with bacon but no mushrooms and they threw the plate almost in our faces.
The chairs are so low in height that my chin is level with the tabletop.
I will never recommend this hole

Had great time at Chinook Bowladrome. First time playing five-pin bowling.

This is a nice place to hang out and have a date.
Even us old fogies goes to put the bumpers down!
The music was a good volume so we could still talk.
Pizza was what you would expect for a bowling place - it was okay.
It was important to know that there was food available if we wanted.
The claw games were fun as well.
Best to call ahead and get a party together for certain nights because bowling is not cheap:)
Party on!

I recently visited this bowling place with my family, and we requested the guard rails for my 12-year-old cousin since we're not very experienced bowlers and thought it would make things easier. Unfortunately, the guy we spoke to had the worst attitude. He was very judgmental and rude. While some of the other staff were really friendly, this guy with short brown hair was incredibly unprofessional. He even ignored us when we said goodbye and thanked him before we left. It was a very disappointing experience.
