St Albert Bowling Centre

The St. Albert Bowling Centre offers standard blowing, neon bowling, and bumper bowling for the bowling challenged (toddlers or the intoxicated).
The prices are pretty standard for bowling alleys but the food is overpriced and nothing to write home about.
The staff are friendly but the place itself can use some updating. There is a mini golf portion outside as well but it is quite weathered from our harsh seasons.
They participate in summer children’s bowling programs which offer discounted bowling rates for kids to help keep them active!
There are some league nights here as well, so be sure to check out their website or phone ahead to make sure there are lanes open and available for public use.
Bowl on!

Ah, the St. Albert Bowling Centre. The site of so many awkward high school dates and birthday parties. Memories, sigh.
When you’re the only bowling alley in town, you don’t need to be fancy. I’m almost positive that’s the mindset of the owners of this place. The employees are often local high school kids, making their way through their first after-​school job.
It’s actually quite big, but when the scoring machines break frequently, that isn’t a pro, because it can take a while for the staff to come over.
The food isn’t very good, but at least they have beer running on tap. And if you book in advance, you can have your own private room for food, hang outs, and jackets.
A friend accidentally walked out with a pair of bowling shoes from here once. I would be surprised if the staff ever noticed.

Went here tonight for a family birthday party. There were about 20 – 25 of us, including little ones. My cousin arranged everything, including booking the lanes and the party room and ordering the food. We had five lanes reserved for about an hour and a half, which included shoe rental. We then used one of the party rooms for a couple of hours afterwards.
The guy at the shoe counter was really nice. The place was pretty busy; it looked like almost all of the lanes were full, and we got there at 4pm.
The only real problem we had was with our lane. For some reason, on two occasions, all of our balls would be used up and just wouldn’t come back out. We got a staff member to get them out for us and he was helpful and energetic.
The glow-​bowling was fun. They brought out this weird contraption to make it easier for the little kids to roll the ball, which I thought was sweet. The noise level was pretty loud. Just a culmination of the balls, pins, so many people and kinda loud music.
We had pizza, which is provided by the bowling alley, and I unfortunately have to say that it was probably the worst pizza I’ve ever had. I feel bad saying that, because this seems like a nice place, but it was just gross. They have a menu some other stuff on it — I briefly glanced at it and saw nachos, popcorn, wings, etc., and your standard candy and chips.
I feel kinda bad giving only 2 stars — this seems like a fun place with good staff and I would probably go here if I lived in St. Albert. I would just not order pizza and hopefully would not have any issues with my lane. They have 5– and 10-​pin bowling, glow bowling, and apparently mini golf, too!
