Reviews of Duncan Lanes Bowling Centre (Bowling Alley)

Danny Johnson

Great Place to bowl and have some fun, especially rock and glow Sat nights starting @ 8p.m.

Russell Rauser

Literally the nicest staff I have ever had at a bowling alley. Awesome clean friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be coming again!

Shawn Creamer

Went up to get a couple of 10 pin balls drilled. Great price and service. Let us bowl a game to do any fine tuning of the holes if required.

Matthew Hamilton

This is the best bowling alley around. They have the fastest pin setters, no annoying animations on their screens distracting you and lots of deals for cheap bowling. Also, the liquor is cheap cheap and the folks are all friendly.

Mathius Permana

Don’t forget to bring your own socks :) They use real size ball.

Rob Wilson

Inexpensive, far from fancy, but a fun time. There's a bar too if you're into that.

Richard Burdet

Fun for the entire family. One of the few bowling alley left on the island

Kimberly Audy

So much fun and great for the whole family.

WasianWoo

Good place, good food, good room with lanes and joyful time playing. A little pricey for playing one game or time-based pay with a group of friends and pricey on food but all in good fun.

Bev Knight

Good fun for families

Richard Luxon

The man behind the counter tonight was very rude tonight. Refused to let us rent 2 lanes. Asked him about the $2 a person special. He rudely replied it’s only after 8:45. I won’t be paying for bowling here again.

jt Tremblay

Haven't been hear since the 70s

Andrew Matheson

What can I say, bowling alleys are just the way you remember them, load and fun.

Mauro Laranjeiras

Small but fun and affordable

THE CABBIE IN THE #YYJ (MAKE IT VIRAL)

Very nice place. Great service 5 and 10 pin available.

Kitty Black

Very chill place. My son and I enjoyed it a lot more than Langford lanes. Went for the Monday night bowling and finally got the hang of how to bowl because there was no pressure or limit on how many games we bowled. Both customers as well as staff there were very nice. No loud entitled redneck aholes which is always a major bonus. No loud music blaring. Clean lanes, clean bathrooms, beautiful murals with whales. We only lasted a couple hours but managed to bowl 12 games. Definitely coming back!

I came in last week to buy an10 pin bowling ball. The staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly. They took all my measurements and drilled the holes right on site. They made sure everything was done to my satisfaction and guaranteed their work by saying if something isn't right come back and we will fix it. Thanks for a great experience.

If you're craving a bowling session, Duncan Lanes if the best and only option in the area. Open very late, this alley is a good place to hit up after hanging with the guys.

al woodcock

Great place, Tuesday night league bowling is awesome!!! Great staff, best beer price in town. Have met a lot of great people.????

Bowling is ok, but they need to serve food options. When you want a family outing it's really difficult when the only items on the menu are popcorn, pop, chocolate bars, chips, and slushies.

Ron Wakely

It was fun. They have some good deals on bowling. Just look for the day and time and enjoy yourself.

James Nealy

I have been going here since I was 12 years old. They haven't had any updates or renovations in over 20 years! It is still a good place to bowl, but at least update the shoes and the seats and the 1970 screens. If they did do this in the past 12 months, good on them. Staff is and always have been nice & friendly.

Angela Canning

Friendly staff, great family environment

First time I've seen lanes that have split the 5pin and 10pin side in this manner. Bonus, got to witness a perfect 10pin game while bowling on the 5pin side.

al parsons

Bowling, 5 pin and 10 pin. Darts on Mondays.
