Laurel Lanes

I’m not a huge fan of this place. It’s just convenient to visit since I’ve lived down the street for the past 9 years. The staff has always been a bit rude. In fact after my first visit, I stopped going for years. As another post said its a clicky members only type of place. I tried again last night, and they were rude, short, and not attentive. They were very busy and told us we would have a 30 minute wait.
An hour later I walked up and asked if «we’ve been called or what’s taking so long as they’re were a bunch of available lanes. Did they forget about us?» The women was seating everyone who came in. She responded «I’m not sure, I don’t know, maybe, but there’s open lanes». They finally seated us.
List goes on. She was supposed to ask us if we wanted to join a league or we get a free game. She didn’t. The rule is, then we get a free game. She marked it off on the sheet with a pen. So during check out, we explained that we were never offered to join the league and asked for a free game during the next visit. In fact, we were very interested and just purchased shoes there.
She had an nasty attitude and said «you can ask my manager». He walked over and says «what’s wrong». She responds «I don’t know, apparently I didn’t ask them if they wanted to join a league»
My initial thought was, it wasn’t about the «free game». Who cares. It was the concept, the principal, about quality and consistency that I never experience there. I didn’t say anything, thanked them, and got my free game which I’ll never return to play.
How ever, the food, is good for a bowling alley.

Might as well make it a member only establishment. Theres never lanes because of all the leagues. Come on a Monday at 9pm and thats the best bet, but when you bring kids thats a little hard. We had to break his heart multiple times because he wanted to bowl and there was no lanes. No lanes out of 64 lanes… crazy.

this place is a real shit hole, the bathrooms are a mess people shit in the mens urinals & the management could care less, i went to speak to the manager about the bathroom situation his name was chuck what a rude ass person, we will never have are kids party here again & i will let everyone in pa & nj about this dump… truly from the top chain of command down the place is a mess… stay away. far away!!!

Great place. Plenty of lanes even on league nights. The food is great as well, not what you’d expect bowing alley food to be. They also have a bar with pool tables and a mini arcade. Definitely a fun night out.

Nice, big, clean bowling alley with all the bells and whistles. Had a pro shop and extensive snack bar. As a bonus, there is a Tony Luke’s cheesesteak place in the attached bar.

It’s a bowling alley, not much else to say. Saturday nights the have the DJ and laser lights which is always good for the kids. A little on the pricey side though. Family of 4 with some junk food will run you $ 100 on a Saturday night.

4 starts because this is my favorite bowling alley. Their bowling, pins, and pop package is a great option for children’s parties, adult birthdays, or get togethers. They have a few restaurant options on site one of which is a full service bar. Stick to beer and you will not be disappointed. The employees are always accomodating on the phone and in person. They also have bowling specials check their website for more info. I personally, am a huge fan of the wings especially the hot. They are the type to have you sweating, crying and wanting more.
Overall, the bowling alley is in great condition as well as the shoes and they aren’t overtly expensive. Though out of the way for most, it is worth the short drive for me.

Although I reside in Brooklyn, I never care to drive the nearly two hours it takes to get to this part of Jersey from where we live just to go to dinner in Cherry Hill, followed by bowling at Laurel Lanes. The ambience in this place is always great! The music is fun, the people are friendly and chill. No one time have I ever encountered an argument or some time of drama by people drinking and then not knowing how to carry themselves or any of that sort of non-​sense. The staff here is great! Always providing service with a smile and cosmic nights are always the best!!! I love the neon and black lights with the current music. There are a ton of lanes, all is well maintained and a must if you enjoy bowling and having a great time with family or friends! I definitely recommend it to everyone!

Lane conditions for league bowling are pretty consistent. A bit heavy on the oil in my opinion, but it is consistent.
Best thing about Laurel a lanes though is Tony Rado’s pro-​shop. He is a master at selecting the right ball for you and measuring/​drilling it correctly.
For years I’ve bowled at another alley in PA, and they did my first couple of balls. Back in the fall of 2013 I got 2 new balls from Tony and I’ve been bowling so much better. For the first time ever I feel like the ball is coming off my hand exactly the way I want.
In January I bowled my first 300 (out in PA) with a Hammer First Blood that Tony picked out and drilled. Now, less than 5 months later in June I bowled my second 300 (at Laurel Lanes) with a Hammer Nail that Tony picked out and drilled.
I don’t care if I move, I’ll travel back just to have Tony drill all my balls as long as he’s in business!

The Mrs. and I are both bowling fans and fortunately enough, so are our friends. We’ve driven by this place for quite a while always saying the ubiquitous, «we should go there some time» but never actually going. that is until recently.
For those of you who have ever been to the down home ‘local’ alley, you’ll get it and appreciate it. Massive amounts of lanes lining one wall (we were actually in lane 64 which I believe is the last lane) with backdrops of an arcade, game room and Tony Luke’s.
Their website lists plenty of deals, so look for days that offer what you’re looking for based on drink specials, bowling specials, etc. Bowling after 9pm until closing is usually greatly discounted for all of those night owls.
I was a little unsure about availability because it appeared to be a bowling league night (despite listing it on the website for Tuesdays and Thursdays) even though this was a Monday night. Not a problem, plenty of aisle at the other end (opposite of Tony Luke’s).
Overall it was a great night and we were able to get a few brews from a server throughout ($ 2.50 PBR for those able to swallow their craft-​beer pride).
Our lane, as well as our neighbor’s broke down in the beginning of the second game but a friendly staff person helped by resetting the game, turning it off then turning it on until it was finally fixed. For our inconvenience, we all received a voucher for a free game, which we used to help cut the bill in half ($ 4.50per person/​game this night).
I hear that they have cosmic bowling too, but not this night. Perhaps another.
It was definitely a fun time and another alley to add to the bowling repertoire.

Love it here. Lots of great memories with more in the making.
Service is key when it comes to going out and having a good time. I get nothing but the best when I come here. From bartenders, waitresses, bowling service, and even the security guards have the right attitude.
Im not a professional bowler so I can’t comment on lanes and oils, but whenever I come it’s always clean. This establishment has yet to fail me in a sanitary way.
The food isn’t bad, but what are you expecting from a bowling alley if you’re that critical? It gets the job done.

Atmosphere is nice. Food is pretty standard bowling alley fare. Went for a Friends bday. I believe my friend purchase a certain time slot. Once the time was done the bowling alley was relentless. Keep giving up five minutes then we would have to see front desk to get five more minutes etc Instead of just letting us finish out the game that was almost over. It wasn’t like they were turning people away and had no open alleys. I’m sure it’s the alleys policy but seems kinda weak for a party that had already purchased a bunch of stuff. Arcade/​bar were pretty nice making it a 2

I’ve driven past this place a million times, but it was my first time stopping in. I was surprised how big it was. We came on a Wednesday night and took advantage of the $ 9.99 cover w/​penny games, shoe rental, and pizza/​pretzels. We played 7 games for only 14 cents!
Be sure to check their schedule, they have great specials.

Love this alley! You gotta try the wings in the house sauce. Great specialsall week long too.

Really enjoy this bowling alley. We usually come annually for a friends’ birthday or just for fun on Saturdays. I love the music they play here! Some may disagree, but it’s mostly mainstream, 90s-​2000s hits. Hey, as long as I can dance and sing along, I’m having a good time!
They have a special that starts at 10pm on Saturdays. It’s 3 hours of unlimited game and shoe rental for almost $ 20. There might be cheaper bowling alleys, but for standard bowling, and good music, this will do. Playdrome might look nicer but prices are steep on Saturday nights. We always have a great time and sometimes they have contests to win pizzas, bowling games, or drinks. There’s also a little arcade with games and a bar with food.
I recommend!

This place is meh. They haven’t updated it since like 1997. When my group and I asked for a lane they gave it to us but told us we had to be out within an hour because they needed the lane. The clientele is trashy, but I suppose it’s South Jersey. Also some people are walking around barefoot. Ugh. Save yourself the disgust and go to North Bowl or Lucky Strike. Even if it’s more money, you get what you pay for.

I love this place! There’s plenty of entertainment including pool tables and a decent sized arcade, as well as over 60 well maintained lanes. Laurel is also staffed with very friendly and knowlegeable employees. Besides the family-​friendly atmosphere for kids of all ages, Laurel is a great place for adult league bowling. I was apprehensive about joining an adult league because I am fairly new at the game, but Laurel Lanes hosts a variety of nightly leagues ranging from two person highly competitive to 4 person adult mixed average leagues. It is fun for everyone, so head on over to Laurel Lanes for a few leisurly games of bowling or pool or just to hang out for a few drink specials during the Phillies/​Eagles/​Flyers games. I must also mention that the food overall is delish!

So many lanes… I even think I saw Walter and el Dudarino (Rejoice Lebowski fans for the reference). But seriously, it’s total fun for the whole family. As we were here to celebrate my niece’s 4^th birthday party, we enjoyed a game and then had fun watching the kids bumper bowl.
This place has been around forever and comes fully equipped with arcade, bar, snack bar and party rooms in addition to the lanes.
Have fun and throw rocks tonight!

This place is huge! I didn’t get to check out the arcade but there were a lot of lanes for bowling.
Thursday night was also karaōke night so that was the first thing I noticed when I walked in.
The pizza isn’t very good though. Or maybe because it was really late at night.

One of — if not the — largest bowling alleys I’ve ever been in!
The lanes were in prestine condition. The place was super clean. There were a plethera of balls to choose from.
The game and shoe rental costs were decent. The staff were your typical bowling alley staff.
The full-​sized bar — complete with billiard tables and separate from the bowling area, allowing you to keep your kids clear of it — was AWESOME to have at our disposal… but they charge NYC prices for the booze and food. While that’s nothing a little (or a lot ;-) of pre-​game action can’t fix, it is the only thing keeping me from giving a 5-​star rating.
Besides that, Laurel Lanes has given me a great time every time!
