  Nice place. Went with our clients in wheelchairs and one got injured. Staff were very helpful and sweet, checked in with us and offered a helping hand if we needed it. Thank you so much!

  We had the “Kids Bowl Free’ pass for last summer. There were some peak times, but we never had to wait for a lane during the day. The pass is a good idea and is defiantly worth it if you go. The Centre however could use some updating. There is a particular aroma to the bowling area that is not just shoe leather spray, and the food area looks sketchy. The bar area is very dark - too dark - and we rarely saw any one go in it o stay. Some of the food however was really good, but both over priced and very much dependant on who was cooking (and knew how to cook predominantly frozen items) - which was often the same staff that was cleaning the restroom, handling the shoes and running cash register. The restrooms were decent, but could use some odour removal products. The lanes and tables were clean and in good shape. The carpet needs to be replaced or given an extreme clean and the organization of material on the walls needs a fresh look and updated palette. The staff are mostly fairly young kids and the turn over seems to be such that as soon as a kid gets some experience and confidence, they move on; they could really do better in terms of staff and management. Overall the Centre really, really needs to be updated and the staff need a reason to stay there, but if you are just there to bowl and use the lanes, you will get what you pay for.

  The people working there are amazing. I have anxiety and accidentally went on a busy night and then guy at the cash was so nice and accommodating, letting me take a lane further away from people. I love that there are specials on different nights, it's so fun to go on Thursdays (disco night) and Tuesdays (2 dollar games). This place has the small balls which I personally love as I find them easier to bowl with. I had a great time here tonight and I'm planning on coming here much more often. I would really recommend this place!

  Walkley Bowling is a fun time for the whole family. It is easy to find and there is lots of parking. It is good for both beginners and those who have been playing for years. The prices are reasonable, and there is usually room to take advantage of Toonie Tuesday - where every game (and shoe rental) is $2. Getting in was quick and painless, considering there was only one person at the entrance. There My only complaint during my most recent visit is that the snack bar was closed. The pub was open; However, the kids who wanted a slushie were out of luck. That was disappointing.
