  Clean lanes and updated environment. Staff was a great experience. Although the adults were grumpy but the young adults/teens were better at working and attitude will go again

  Our company enjoys getting together here for work events. Very accommodating and great rates. We'll continue to get together here over the fancy one down the road!

  We're always on the lookout for great bowling and pinball spots and a place with both is certain to get our business! However, we have not returned to Arapahoe Bowling Center since our first visit several months ago. There was a lot to like about this place, including the quick friendly service and nice well-maintained bowling lanes... However, we went mainly for the pinball and were ecstatic to see such a great selection, but that quickly turned to dismay when we saw the prices per credit are much higher than any other place in town, most notably both 1up locations which are all $.50 per credit whereas this place charges $.75 and up per credit. When my husband and I play it's not so bad to pay $1.00 per game, but when you're shoveling in $1.50 plus per game knowing you may lose your ball right away it zaps a lot of the fun. A roll of quarters will guarantee us 10 games anywhere else, whereas here it will only get us about 5 or six games and that is just not cost-effective for us, especially knowing we can go elsewhere for much cheaper (and better-maintained just-as-awesome) games. Finally, we took an Uber so we could relax and drink and have fun and not have to worry about driving, but the bar cut us off after only a few drinks even though we explained we weren't even close to drunk, promised not to get too crazy, and weren't even driving to boot. I think as adults we should be able to determine our limits and not be told when we've had enough when clearly we weren't drunk or causing problems. For a couple in their 30's/40's to be treated like children in that way was quite insulting and we thus ended up closing our tab and leaving, most likely never to return. Too bad, I had high hopes. :(

  Come here often. Staff is friendly, but the customers SUCK! Most inconsiderate bowlers anywhere. Loud kids running around in front of you while the parents sit there with their faces buried in their phones, totally oblivious. Good food at the snack bar. Dollar per game Sunday mornings. I like Holiday up in Arvada but they're just league, no open bowling. So why go? Expensive too.
