A flash to the past, with disco lights, old misshapen bowling shoes and a guy who runs out on the alley to fix a pin getting caught. The staff is very nice and helpful; the game is candlepins which is always fun; and it's a low key place. It's $25/hr and rental fee for the shoes. Enjoy!

This is candlepin bowling as it is supposed to be. Wish it had a little more space but the staff is friendly, the pricing is good and you can actually pick up the ball because this is candlepin and not ten pin. great for kids and they do a great kids party. Bowling leagues almost every night so if you are looking to join one, call. There are stairs so not handicap friendly.

Very old... my shoes had huge holes. But it was still fun. We played for an hour which turned out to be three games and it was $27. Definitely a great spot for kids.

Remember bowling of your youth? You can find it here with balls you can grasp on to. Kids love it - cages on alleys keep the balls in the lane. Great family fun. A bit dark. Friendly staff.

Bowling is what it is and places like King's where you get speed of throw and suggestions for shots etc are certainly more high end but are way more expensive and much further away. For us in the Needham/Wellesley Hills area this place is great - our kids ask to go in every time we drive past. It is simple but especially for kids its great.

The only bowling alley in the area happens to be a great one, although it's a little old/run down. It's candlepin bowling and makes for a fun time no matter what time of day/year. They close early sometimes so be sure to check their facebook page to make sure that they're open. I've made the mistake a couple times.

I know that candlepin bowling is a dying business but it would be nice to fix up the place a little bit.

Not a fancy bowling alley, by any means, but it was a great place to take the kids. Small and quiet. Be prepared for Candlepin bowling though, not 10 pin.

While this place is small. it can be a lot of fun, especially when they are doing the Cosmic Bowling.But be warned, the music can be loud! The staff is friendly, and they keep everything nice and clean. This is not a fancy bowling alley, but a fun family place.

My kids love it here. Great for family bowling, big enough for a party but not overwhelmingly large like some bowling alleys. I grew up with bowling 10 pin and am still trying to figure out candlepin. I'm always a bit embarrassed when my 6 and 9 year olds beat me!
