I dont usually leave bad reviews , but I was so disgruntled after yesterdays events , that I had to share my disgust, After a few phone calls asking about glow bowling and using a groupon I was told I could pay an additional $7 to glow bowl which I was fine with, then I was told NO! the day of, but to call back at 4pm when the other girl was there , so I called back and was told NO! again, slightly confused I said ok Ill just use my groupon another day but how much for us to come tonight she told me and I was happy with the price, I drove our family into town ( 75kms) and when we got there , we were turned away as they told us we needed a reservation??? I told the girl we were coming that night!!! why didnt she tell us a reservation was needed? So we drove away and We actually got in at another bowling alley very easily no problems and we salvaged a fun Night ! But K-J was an epic fail , SO SO UPSET!! My family is very upset with the whole ordeal!! I will not be sending anyone and warn others

The place is very old but for the price of groupon, it was worth going. Also the owner was very generous and kind.

Love this little alley! Neon bowling with the kids was always the best!

I went there because of a groupon I had. I had a reservation for that day. We went in and there were signs saying they are closed, but the doors were open and since I had a reservation, we went in. The lady there (I believe she was the owner), told us “didn’t you see the signs that we are closed?” (With a very rude tone btw) and I told her that I had a reservation that day. She told us that she decided to paint the alley and that they are closed and we have to get a reservation for another day. We ended up going back another day and I did it just because I had a groupon for them. I’m not going back there. Not communicating with me ahead of the time that they’re going to be closed, giving me attitude for coming in even though I had a reservation and not caring about customers are not somethings I would like to see in a business I want to spend my money at. Plenty of other bowling places to go to!

Is a small but nice little place. Have not bowled in years it was a good time.

Leanne Prins Duiker

Our favourite bowling alley in Edmonton! Simple, clean, great service, good prices. We always enjoy our time here.

Marc Tremblay

Small basement bowling alley with Great prices. Unfortunately they are lacking in the food department. They have some chips and a small deep fryer offering small portions of fried foods. Over all it was a good experience, 5 pin only

Steven

Great spot for friends and family to enjoy, kids birthday packages available too. Glow Bowl is offered on the weekends from 8-10 pm. Fee was $20 each for 2 adults. Licensed establishment should you need an alcoholic beverage, snacks and some appetizers are on the menu.

Richard M

Good price!

Jeff Zaugg

Had a great time with family and friends!

Gurpinder Brar

Kids place only. We wasted 2 hrs money.

hailey olund

KJ has a cozy and comfortable feel to it. I have been bowling in their YBC league since i was 4yrs old, its nice to really get to know and grow up with the other YBC members, its like a KJ Family! The staff is friendly & helpful and its always nice to see a familiar face when you go there. Best Bowling place in Edmonton!

Skye Thomson

Tried to use our Groupon ticket but the guy working there wouldn't accept it because glow bowl started in 30 mins. I understand this BUT there was no one in the bowling alley. Gross and scary place.

Robert Bahme

Great experience friendly staff kids had tons of fun Will go back again

Mike Thomas

Fun. Clean. Comfy shoes. Could use some upgrades but works alright and prices for entry and drinks are fair. Nice to have right in the area.

Jessica Lilgert

Been a place since i was a little girl, and still in good shape!

Kyler Dyck

Reminds me of the bowling lane from home

Heather Savage-Dahl (Lieutenant)

I love the staff here. They always are friendly.

Marjorie Marshall

So much fun!! Little bowling alley with the small balls. Great for families groups out. Concession stand and they do serve beer. Neighborhood gem!

Cole Humeny

Cute little bowling alley. A nice find.

The _Fan

One of the worst bowling places I've been to, the lanes are old and not good same with the bowling balls they use the small bowling balls not the standard size don't go

John Su

Was such a great time. Such warm staff!! Great place for anyone

Helen Hare

Fun times bowling

Francis Lajeunesse

Used to bowl there when I was a kid and it was nice to come back to the old stomping grounds. It's awesome!!!

Brent Turner

Fun atmosphere and the price is right.

Darth Doran

Great prices

Liz Grierson

Retro, no frills, friendly and affordable bowling.

J P

Been coming here since I was a little kid, its a nice place to play small ball bowling

restie tooke

Its only a small place and only 5 pins available.

Tom

Nice little retro bowling alley, staff where friendly, lanes where kept well, the neon bowling is a little overpriced imo, other than that it was a good place to entertain the kids.

Tiffany B

Better place then Bonnie Doon for kids birthday parties. I enjoy that you don't get stuck into a tiny room, and you get your choice of different canned drinks for the kids, not just two options. You can even bring your own food to eat, while you bowl!! Chips and such are offered.

Suf L

Cheaper than other bowling places, clean and staff were nice.

Sebastian Momot (xSeban)

Feels like this place got stuck in time since 80s. Very outdated bowling system and overall decor. Plus they only offer 5 pin bowling, so you can't really play the more popular 10 pin bowling.

Devin Miller

Super old classic 1960's bowling alley. Friendly staff, reasonable pricing. Equipment is mega old but that's part of the charm

George Wenzel

Straight out of the 1970s. Amazing spot to bowl a few games with the kids.

Emily Cramton

Fun place for the family

Calvin Van Laar

Friendly atmosphere, great family spot.

Loved it

MsMel L

It was an older place, but very accommodating and good for kids.

Justin

don't want to update their hours. instead a scrap price of paper on the front door. Waste of a trip. no point in trying to come back.

Lisa Richards

Excellent service great family fun

Casey Shunock

Wonderful staff!

Tash and Fash

Went there and attended a birthday party!!! The place is okay, just find it a bit small, especially for parties... But I guess it's okay if you'll just go there to play bowling!!!

Theresa

Lots of fun for the family and staff is super friendly.

The Outbound

I live close to K-J bowling and enjoyed it during the times I have gone there, they have a great family-friendly atmosphere and great staff. I would recommend that if you are looking for a place to go bowling you should go here.

Janis Fitzpatrick

Friendly, laid back atmosphere. Glow bowl for a little added fun. Has about 12 lanes; a couple looked like may have been out of service. Overall a lovely little bowling alley tucked away in my neighbourhood. The staff were nice. We would definately go back for a night out.

Kayla Elenbaas

Cute place we found just biking around the neighborhood. Super cute atmosphere. Loved it here.

Charlene Martin

Great little spot to spend time with friends or family.

Mike Mai

Never come back to play again. The staff showed a “cut your neck “sign to my friend to warn him that time is up. He really don’t need to do that.

GEORGE COSTANZA

Great night out with a few friends. 5 pin bowling with the smaller sized balls for optimal "not getting your fingers stuck in the bigger ones" Fair prices and comfy atmosphere. Come here if you want to relax and sink a few gutter-balls and beers with friends.

Ron Penney

Great place to relax

O'Neil

Had a couple fun nights here. Lanes are a little rough. As is environment. Yet is like a 80s throwback. Was enjoyable. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Tarek Abou Khater

Everything is super cool in this place..my advice is to bring your own bowling shoes

JameserT t

Great place to relax, play a couple games and the girl there super cute

Braidon Reid

What a cool experience. We went bowling there with a group of friends on Friday night for the Glow Bowl and it was so fun. It's not 10 pin bowling either and I thought it was actually more fun. Good snacks, good beer, good music. Total good time. Thanks.

Fusion Family

This is a fun place to take the kids. They had bumper lanes for our young kids and they also have glow bowling. We had a few problems with some pins falling but then being put back up during our turn. If you're really competitive this might be a problem but good for a family fun night. The price was reasonable and staff were friendly.

shandelle hagen

Cosy friendly alley

Heather Savage-Dahl

My niece bowls here every Saturday and loves it. She especially loves when we go for Glow bowling. Always friendly staff.

Nader

Very cozy and fun little bowling alley. The owner is super friendly. Treats ya like you've been friends from birth. They're clean and quick to help. Very cheap prices too. They have food, drinks, and washrooms. Free parking outside as well.

Lance Leonard

I used to do league bowling here as a kid and have bowled here most my life but moved so havent been here for over a year. It may be tucked away and has a very retro feel but i can assure you these are the best lanes i have ever played on. Staff are always welcoming and place is clean. Prices are great.

Anu s

It's not in very safe location but it's inexpensive

J Dubs

Lanes are old. Only have 5 pins. The pins get stuck often. They offer glow blow on the weekends. I grew up living right by here and go quite regularly because it is cheap. Way cheaper then any other bowling place. So as long as your not a pompous professional this place is a good time to spend with friends or you children.

Harley F. GoodWheeler

Nice place but a bit of effort with not much for hot food and no interact for drinks. No ATM onsite it is in the store next door.

Amy Lewis

Fun Experience. Havent been here in 30 years. Looks exactly the same. :) will come back

Richard Scott

Accessible by all needs should have an elevator. No notice that no food would be available during birthday party. Only stayed for one game this time my daughter was so mad my wife had to take her to the car for half the game. They forgot our reservation for a birthday party. Originally had two lanes booked but we only offered one.

matt m

Best burger i ever ate

Linda Haennel

????????????????????

Lisa Lamoureux

What can I say, it's a bowling alley. We had a fun evening and the staff is friendly.

Keegan Lang

Wicked spot for bowling with the kids or just in general. Only 5 pin, but they have glow bowl fridays and Saturdays. A bit on the older side but does its job, and we always have a great time. Plus the beer is cheap!

Kathy Kelley

Amber and Heather are awesome. Knowledgeable and just plain nice. They remember names and sizes. Awesome place

Andrew Barry

Great spot!

Derek Rines

Nice little 5 pin alley. This place has a really nice retro feel with score keepers from the 90's and those old orange and white benches from years ago. Staff is friendly and kid friendly.

Neil Papke

I'm here on Sundays with our bowling league

shawn harrington

Rude staff, we weren't treated or spoken to respectfully. The place smells and is old. Worst experience of my life.
