Century Bowling

My hubby and I like bowling together every now and then so we tried century today and really enjoyed it! Big place, 30 lanes and I like that you can pay per hour if you like. We got 4 games in! Had a beer and some snacks, it was fun. Staff was nice. We will go back!

My volunteer group goes here weekly, and all the staff here is great. The food and drinks and reasonably priced as is the bowling. The only thing that I think would make it better would be if they had music playing (but that is just my opinion).

Maybe I’m biased because I don’t actually like bowling that much. Or maybe it was that it was only ok anyway. I did get to hear some old school pop music though, which took me back to my teenybopper days in highschool. It has a pretty typical bowling alley atmosphere, nothing too exciting (except for maybe the glow bowling). I’m a bit of an idie kid at heart and so I prefer a bit of atmosphere with my nostalgic activities… although I never really chose to go ten pin bowling as a kid either.
We were booked for three lanes as part of a work outing, which included the shoe rental, a $ 5 credit for the casino, one drink each and food. The shoe rental was easy, although a few colleagues with small or larger feet seemed to have a bit of trouble finding shoes to fit. We each received a drink voucher to redeem at the bar, but it was only valid for certain beers or house highballs. Their drink prices were really reasonable from what I can see ($ 5 — $ 7 ish), but I’m not sure I saw any decent beers that I would have picked and it looked like there was only one choice each of white and red wine. The disposable plates looked like they might be recycled (or at least slightly eco friendly) which was a nice touch.
The food came out on time, and the plate of fried stuff was pretty good (I recommend the fried chicken), followed by pizzas and a plate of veggies and dip. The veggies were nice and fresh (cauliflower, broccoli etc) but the pizza was pretty average, or perhaps just what you would probably expect to get at a bowling alley.
We had issues getting started, and needed the operator to come over and fix it, and then go back and fix something at her computer. We also had issues with the balls being returned to us, which happened at least three times where both our lane and the lane next to us didn’t have any of our balls returned to us and we had to keep raiding the shelves and then report this and wait for it to be fixed.
Once we got started and during the times we had bowling bowls to use, it was pretty fun (for bowling). By the time we left (just after 7pm on a Monday night) glow bowling had started which was fun, and all of the lanes were pretty much taken. I even saw one family with several pieces of luggage that brought all of their own gear so apparently serious bowlers go here too!

This place is awesome! They charge you by the hour rather than per game so depending on your group size, you can play a few games before the hour runs up.
You can bring your drinks down to the table which is great because the more you drink, the better you bowl — obviously. The food is typical deep fried stuff, but the waffle fries are quite yummy. Nice and crispy!
It is a busy place but in the words of my sister… Faaaabuloussss! It is a fun time.

Century bowling, while attached to a casino is a wonderful bowling alley. With $ 15 three hour bowling on Mondays and THursdays, be prepared to work some magic Fred Flinstone style and knock down a lot of pins.
My fella and I got together with a bunch of our friends and knocked down a lot of pins. Over the course of the three hours we bowled no less than FIVE games. Seriously. While we were hurting a bit the next day, we had a blast.
The bowling is ten pin, so form is everything. Also, Century does GLOW BOWLING! Bring on the strobe lights and have a little dance party in front of the lanes. It’s fun!
I highly recommend going and making use of their great deals! You won’t regret it!

Came here with a couple of old friends I hadn’t seen in a few months on Saturday. I had been here one time before, for a company party, but this was my first time there as a paying customer. We arrived at around 9 pm and the place was already packed. We didn’t mind waiting for a lane, so we sat in the lounge and shared a couple of pitchers. Pitchers here are $ 19 and you’re only allowed one per lane.
Seems like a deal, until you realize everything else is on the steep side. My friend’s sister spent $ 6 for 4 teeny tiny mozza sticks. Fries weren’t bad (and they were fresh), at $ 4.50 but you can get way more for the same price elsewhere. Also, lanes are $ 50 per hour for 6 people, which includes shoe rentals. We had 7, so we had to spend another $ 50 on another lane. Fine. We divided ourselves in to two teams that in one hour, could only play 1.5 games.
Wouldn’t be so bad I guess, if the prices reflected the atmosphere. But it’s bowling, not ballet. At least the bathrooms are clean and the ladies manning the food counter were pleasant.

So to change things up, a group of 12 of us decided to do a bowling/​Tubby Dog night. We decided to go to Frank Sisson’s, and discovered it had been taken over, and was now called Century Casino and Bowling. The changes to the interior include new flooring, updated chairs and tables, and a few other veneer upgrades. We arrived around 9pm, to find the place 50% full. By 10pm, the place felt like a night club. Most patrons were in their 20’s and 30’s, and they played top 40 club music, and bowling became glow in the dark. It was definitely a much better vibe to the place than it used to — which I’ll describe as slightly geriatric, or more family orientated.
The food that were ordered comprised of a few plates of everything deep fried (chicken, mushrooms, fries) and were decent enough.
They serve alcohol, as per usual at reasonable enough prices.
They now charge $ 50 per lane, per hour. It includes shoe rental, and you can have as many as 8 people per lane. We had 6, and it turned out to be a really cheap night.
Everyone in our group had a great time — again — due to the younger crowd, and mildly club like atmosphere, and we all agreed to we’d wantto come back another time. Granted, we don’t take our bowling too seriously, and just had fun with it.
