Nice place for kids to bowl and Adults..Great place for kids parties .

Always have a blast here with the kids the laser tag is fun the kids love the frog hopper and the bumper cars. The arcades are a ok price for the most part but they do try to sneak the price up on some of the more popular ones. My only complaint would be that the bowling ally was completely booked up on a Sunday they were have a good deal on the lanes and we called the day before and no one mentioned that they were having a tournament and wouldnt have any opens lanes for almost the hole day. But overall its always a good time

Its okay. I dont know what I expected but if your not playing the arcade there isnt much left. The kids enjoyed what they could.

Your online info is very informative, your Google page says open but when you look further into it your summer hours (which you have to search for) the game room is closed on Thursdays. That should be on the main page instead if having people drive as far as I did to bring my kids for a good time. They are not old enough to bowl but I wanted to take them for a good time. All we got was disappointed. Thank you for helping me make up my mind on never coming back here. Customer lost for good.

Bowling alley is a but pricey and the arcade area is a rip off except at least most of the games are a dollar. Only go here if you are in a group to bowl and you in the area to kill time and if you take advantage of the coupons to use the arcade area. The arcade area is literally the size of a first floor house. Its small and the attractions are the size of bedrooms. Please dont pay full price to use this place..coupons..coupons couponsYou can only fit maybe 5 to 6 people at a time on the bumper cars and the best thing nay be the laser tag game because its a little exciting I guess. I must emphasize..coupons if you must go here. For kids its probably good for 2 hours.

Pretty ridiculous that the no refund policy offers zero exceptions. Especially when a child drops a game card that we put money on in between a machine of the establishment that they apparently cannot get to. The fact that they basically told us we were SOL and offered zero solutions to the problem other than you can buy a new oneGood customer service would be offering to either refund or a replacement, not telling me that there are signs posted

Had a birthay party very fun and even gave us a extra hour since one of the rides were not working. Great with freinds and family.

Fun place! Despite the amount of signs I saw about being required to wear a mask, it wasnt a huge majority doing so. I understand if youre taking a sip of a drink or a bite of food, but that wasnt the case. Decent prices for drinks, albeit not hugely attentive service.

A very good place to bring the family and to meet up with friends. Arcade games, snack bar, and sports bar for Adults. For the kids, they provide bumpers guards on the lanes and ball ramps so the kids can have great assisted games. For teens and adults they have the latest Pop & Rap music videos playing on all alley section screens so can get move to the beat and get your best bowling groove on! Overall, this nice bowling alley provides a great fun bowling atmosphere for everybody, youll want to return!

Always have a good time here. This time they saved my sons birthday when another facility let us down. We were able to get an open lane, play a couple of games and then head to the fun zone. The boys loved their laser tag games and the rest of us played skeeball and a variety of other games. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the food is good - especially the fries!

I purchased wrist bands for the attractions n my son wouldnt end up doing any of them n they wouldnt give a refund or exchange for arcade time or anything. I will never be back to this place when ive had fun previous times. I will tell everyone I know to go to main event or somewhere else instead of this place! I could see if I had the wrist band for 20 30 mins already n to not do a refund but no i had it not even 10 mins! Ended up just giving 2 hour worth wrist bands to some guys instead BC this company is selfish

Mid 90s outside yet they didnt have AC inside. They also apparently have limited hours on Wednesday for bowling leagues which isnt listed anywhere online. We rushed to finish our games and it was so hot inside.

Ju
Review №20

Arcade was ok but bowling was a 0 out of 5. The bowling balls kept getting stuck and I couldn’t get a bumper for my younger brother because the staff said it was broke. We didn’t even finish the time we paid for because the balls repeatedly kept getting stuck and not returning even after we asked for help. Also, there were signs posted that you would not be able to get a refund.

First I just want to say the management was very rude. The head man was very rude and mean towards my husband when we first walked in and the customer service is horrible. The snack bar has very bad sanitation practices and the tables were atrocious when we got there. And my cheeseburger was god awful with it not being cooked at all and still cold! Worst bowling alley I’ve been in.

Very cool night out with freinds. The bowling was nice, its not too loud even with all the lanes being used and has even more than I expected. Fair prices I believe. A Very nice experience overall!Ps: Me and my freinds wore matching outfits and look weird but everyone was still nice and inviting😂!

Best bowling alley and arcade ever! They have a great atmosphere and their customer service is great! The food is also amazing!

Pretty clean place. I like going there because its always a lane available. The welcome wasnt all that great. We stood there for a minute or 2 at the front desk while 2 employees had a conversation without even saying telling us to hold on a moment. Not a big deal but I felt a little brushed off. The bar service was a little slow too. But the bowling was sweet.

We had a really good time here, though there was a slight wait on everything due to the fact that there was only one person working. The place was nice and clean, and I dont know much about bowling prices, but it seemed pretty fair. Really enjoyed it!

Great place to bowl. The cafe area has good food. The arcade is a good place to kill some time and hang out with friends. Convenient location too

Review №48

We had fun bowling but the main gentleman, Tim, was incredibly rude. He scoffed at me when I didnt understand how the pricing structure worked. We asked to play 2 games for our family of 4 and he only gave us 5 frames, went back up and asked for the full 10 frames but then we found out we had only paid for 1 full game. Dont think it should be this confusing to go bowling with your family and I certainly didnt expect to pay full price for my 2-year-old. We definitely will not be back. Not to mention it was incredibly hot inside the building.

The kids loved the laser tag and bumper cars the best, but of course bowling and the arcade are always the main pull. We got a pizza while we were bowling and it was good, too. Even my 7 year old stopped bowling long enough to eat!

Review №54

I had my 5 year old and 7 year old with me who i babysit and we were set up on a lane and everything. I went to ask for bumpers before we started Bowling and was told there’s no bumpers. I wish I was told This prior to buying my hour of bowling because I would not have bought an hour and wasted $46. I asked if I could just pay for one game and they told me there’s nothing they could do about it. I had my Kids mom called after waiting for 20 mins with no bumpers to be told by the guy that he knows four year olds who can bowl with no bumpers. How sad to hear that. They told us for our remaining time we can move to a lane with bumper. It was five minutes apparently left after waiting for so long for that to accommodate us. It’s a great place, but terrible costumer service.

Review №57

I honestly don’t understand how this place is still running. The party hostesses run to get the kids dirty bowling shoes then get the kids food right after with no gloves to make their food without cleaning their hands. The staff working the counter in the bowling alley are rude. The snack bar takes too long to get everything out because they only have two people working. I doubt their kitchen is even up to health codes they need a new inspector looking. I went to the fun center and most the staff was friendly besides two of the lady’s. All the games are old and abused. The first time I came up to the register a lady by the name candy I think was supposed to be helping me at the counter and instead she was eating her food in the room they have in the back. Second time I came up she was on the phone. I asked one of the other employees to help and they said only she can touch the register when I asked why they said she’s the manager. What kind of manager sits around like that and does not have a person that can run the register if they won’t do it. Shout out to a few of the employees whom I didn’t learn their names for helping me. I’ll give another review today the day this all happened was the middle of January.

Mid County Lanes located in Middletown, DE is worth checking out. The atmosphere is energetic and family friendly. I recommend that if youre taking young kids to the Family Fun Galaxy, use the side door, especially if its a weekend evening. The entrance is located next to the ice cream shop. This prevents having to walk through the bowling alley and bar area that may have adults enjoying an adult night out.

This was our first visit and we will definitely be back very soon. The staff was wonderful, the prices were reasonable for the bowling, food and beer. The food tasted great and for $150, we fed 5 people, had 4 beers, bowled for 2 hrs and tipped the staff. We will have to try the games next time! Thank you Mid County Lanes!

Review №62

The worst bowling alley Ive ever been to. And Ive been to many around the tri state area. Its freezing inside, the gutters REEK of mildew whenever the ball comes out. The shoes run way too big (I had to go down a size and a half, had to switch shoes multiple times). It looks like it hasnt been updated since the 80s and yet somehow its new?? Terribly overpriced for what it has to offer.

I took the kids to the Family Fun Galaxy within the bowling alley. It was our first time there and we werent sure what to expect. It didnt take long to make up our minds that we wanted to stay and play!They kids had a blast driving reckless in bumper cars, lighting up the wide selection of arcade games, getting on the Frog Hopper ride, in the ball pit, and of course, their favorite, laser tag!We ordered a $14 flavor-free pizza that I surely didnt write home about and ate at one of the large tables. The staff were friendly and helpful.Its worth checking it out. I know well definitely be back!

Review №69

The manager ruined my girlfriend s birthday by providing terrible customer service. Paid for 6 people to bowl 1 game and had to get 2 lanes. With 2 adults on 1 lane and 4 kids on the other lane, kids wasnt allowed to finish their game due to adults completing early. Manager had a negative attitude and wouldnt allow the kids to finish. After we decided to leave, he tried to rectify by trying to restart the game but the scores were lost. By that time, the mood was ruined and it was too little, too late. Once again, thank you for ruining her celebration.

My family of four bowled a game plus 3 shoe rentals for $30 during Saturday day time. You can also pay by the hour. Pricing and availability are clearly marked on their website. You can call ahead to find out what the wait is like.The décor is exactly what you expect for a bowling alley. Staff is friendly. Food, soda, bar, pro shop, arcade and indoor fun center are all on site.

Review №81

Very disrespectful staff, just straight up rude. Denied us 2 lanes, even though there was 4 lanes open next to one another and 9 open in total, and made us bowl on one lane. Actually had ignored the request for 2 lanes until we came back up, after realizing we were given one lane. Literally said because it was more convenient for them. Would have been able to bowl a lot more in the hour. They really care about their customers...not.

We started going to parties here and have had parties for our kids as well. Last year, our kids got bit by the bowling bug and joined the league. My wife and I were quick to start bowling and this summer enrolled in the summer family league. We have done a few tournaments. It truly is a great family place and the sport lends itself to being a family event. The kids league is on Saturday mornings and the coaches do a lot to help out. Each week the children win bowler of the week and are given prizes. Cant speak highly enough about the staff and how much they do to help boost the sport of bowling.

Called ahead for good time to bowl, was told we were good to come with a group on Wed evening. Got there at 6 and was told it was league night, no lanes until 930. Waited until 945 to bowl while playing pool in their bar, was told mechanic went home and couldnt rent a lane. What a double dissapontment!

Called to see what the hours of operation was for the arcade earlier in the week and was told it was the same as the bowling alley. When I arrived during the week with my kids the arcade was closed. Kids were disappointed and staff look at me like I was crazy when I said I spoke to an employee who told me it was open. When asked asked what time and days they were open the two staff members times didn’t match but they eventually gave me the arcade winter hours. I was pretty annoyed but whatever.
