Reviews of Paradise Lanes (Bowling Alley)

Alexander Heemskerk

I go here very frequently. Staff remember your name, the lanes are always clean, and the concession stand offers enough drinks or snacks to keep you going.

Easton Reed

Great family fun

Ahmed “Mohammad” Shakeel

Only 5 Pins you have to knocked down. Balls are small. You can't put your own name on the TV, just stupid random names are there.

Karen Key Speck

Wonderful small facility on San Juan Island. Great congenial and knowledgeable owner Scott always makes everyone feel welcome.

Juliet Burgess

24 dollars for three games with two people. Really nice grippy lanes, can get a good spin with house balls. Only eight lanes total and had to leave because a private event was happening

Bowling, beers and music.

Michelle Desnoyers

Great bowling alley! Service here was very friendly and rates were reasonable. I will definitely return. They have traditional lane bowling, themed bowling, and a variety of leagues. Easy to find with the giant bowling pin outside the building.

Memorable

Matthew P Boyd

I wish I could have scored this place higher, but then i'd be lieing. The pizza dude wasnt that polite or fast, but the pizza was good. The bowling alley was alittle out dated. But I'm sure they could improve on that. Kids are more interested in the video games than bowling. Friendly environment though.

Wayne Spivak

Dirty, old and worn out!

Jana Meredith

Curtis Stewart

My Children are enrolled in the YBC league and they just love what they do! Amazing coach’s and staff!!!!!!

Luke O

The owner was great, very nice bowling alley and a lot of fun for the limited options in Friday Harbor.

Conrad Rumjahn

Owner John is a great guy. Food is better than expected.

Ron Mak

Didn't get stabbed.

Leigh Davidson

So much fun. Dropped in with a group for a couple games and was one of those awesome times that you proudly tell how many years ago you last bowled (30+?) Staff great, atmosphere comfortable, alley clean and the shoes 'spiffy'! I mention the shoes as "a tall guy"; I asked for 14's and would have a choice. Staff shared that they have a size 17. Sorry guys... the excuse that no shoe fits just guttered. Awesome time

Gord Howe

We had fun bowling

Abbas Momin

Nice place for group bowling, we had a group of over 50 adults and children, all of us enjoyed, very friendly and professional staff, food drink also available at premium price, group pricing was also reasonable, so that we could get more people join us. Highly recommended for visit once in a while for fun. Parking is limited, so, it was bit of a problem that wasn't a big deal, some people parked away.

Latoya Johnson

Price is reasonable, but they need to add more personality to decorating the place. There is nothing fun or exciting about it. Music sucks!, lighting sucks!, food? Customer service is a 1 out of 10 for me. Location is great.

Clara

Haven't went bowling since I was a kid it was cool. 1 thing though if you are going to drink make sure the bartender likes you or you will be cut off. My friend was having fun not being rude or offensive maybe a little louder because he was enjoying the whole bowling experience that brought us both childhood memories. Never swore to or about anyone and was a gentleman. Near the end of our hour the bartender/waitress cut him off and I can't understand why. :(

Mandie

Given its location, I did not expect how awesome this place is. Clean, bright, staff is so nice, clientele was decent.

Shelley Schreiber

Staff is amazing

Joshua Panaguiton

The place is okay. Kind of shady

Silver Paladin

Great times, great staff

bruce luft

Kind of an old-school place but a lot of fun

Nick Boyle

So many old people

Dulce Gómez

The gentleman on charge gave a good service to the group I was attending but I didn’t find polite the way he approached me, was kinda rude, I was holding my baby in his car seat and my toddler with the other hand and trying to find a spot where to place us and remove our shoes. He smacked my back gently asking to remove our shoes right away and didn’t give me the chance to explain him we were supposed to do it once we could find a place to stay. Outside of that the place looks clean, enjoyable and we had fun.

Melissa F

It's a fun timr

Michael Stoski

Awesome customer service.. let us bowl 2 games in the last half 45 mins before closing thanks guys.

Kaylee Gray

Great family fun

Jason Leshchyshyn

Aside from the obvious crooked lanes that ruin my game (and somehow the lean changes through the game) this place is awesome. A throwback to the way bowling alleys are supposed to be. And the staff are very caring and Friendly.

Yaseen Tahahaha

Great place, Value rates

Kelley Peterson

Great family fun

Ciri

In need of a face life, but the staff are friendly and the lanes are good. Food options are limited.

Richard Sherback

Very friendly staff and a cool, relaxed place to bowl.

Stevan Loertscher

Great place to go bowling. I have never had an issue their, the staff knows me by name. They are like a second family to me. Very friendly overall a great experience.

aaron kapty

Excellent place for 5 pin bowling, friendly staff, automatic scoring, kid friendly, good for business party's or just a night out? You can put your names up or allow staff to provide random ones for you during functions

Richard Rempel

I saw Ron Mak here.

James Davenport

Website says it’s opened every day. And on the website it talks about league events and to check their posted times. I called and was rudely told Thursday’s are ALWAYS full league nights, it was like I was supposed to know this already. These guys should update their website to say Thursday’s has no open lanes

Jesediah Thimpy

This is a super friendly place to throw heavy balls. The guy attending to the front desk (he might have been the owner) was pleasant and offered encouragement. We were visiting the island, and for some reason decided to spend an hour inside after the farmer's market. We all walked away with smiles.

April Patterson

Best bowling place ever

Mat Corns

Typical older Bowling Alley, so old infact there are still signs that say no smoking or eating past a certain point, lol! Family has been coming here for the past few years as a fun Christmas gathering and it's always a blast! Prices were reasonable to bowl, but it was $9.75 for 4 chicken strips and fries, which was extremely overpriced! Another thing that sucks about the food is that you can only do 2 orders at once and took 25min to get my strips and fries!

Patti Kabatoff

It was a great surprise to see how nice and open. You don't even realize you are downstairs. Very friendly

Bonnie Iwamoto

Great place . Best staff .. fun for everyone:)

Lulu Kuku

I learned how to bowl here back in the 70's. Indeed, my whole family, both sides, used to spend much time here. It looks smaller...and older (I just look older????) but it is still good. Food was limited but good. Beer was cheap! Staff was friendly. There was a punk show...nice to see a family friendly music event...I had a great time. Only complaint is limited parking

Corey Verge

My daughter it's is in a league there and they treat you like family very awesome staff in a very awesome place.

Russell Bohnet

Best bowling in Calgary by far. Location is clean, staff are more then happy to help with anything you need. If you are looking for an affordable, fun sport for you or your kids, enroll in one of the many leagues starting in September. It is a great way for kids to make new friends and the adult leagues provide a great way to relax and meet new people. Would highly reccomend dropping by if you ever need a break from reality.

Joel Kingdon1234

The kids are having a blast there

Cam Buck

So impressed with the service. Greg and Chris were so friendly and welcoming. It was my first time bowling at this location with my family. keep in mind we had a baby and a 3 year old with us. We first go in and were immediatley helped. Greg joked around and helped us get the proper foot wear and socks. we started bowling after he informed us how it worked. about 5 mins into bowling chris and greg brought over this metal bowling trainer for my neice whos 3. not only did they help us with that chris did everything she could to keep my baby whos 1 entertained. Chris noticed they were a bit hungry so she got them fruit. moral of the review GO HERE 100%. Couldnt have asked for a better night out with the family.

Derek L

Nice and good price. Staff is Great!

Don Thomson

I bowl in a league here, the staff are pleasant and helpful, they put in acrylic lanes last year and did many renovations and upgrades

Sven Erickson

The soul and punk rock bowling events were great. Live bands, all you can bowl, good crowd.

Patrick Michalko

Work event. Entire team had fun. Organized. Older lanes but enjoyable

Torry Sawatzky

Lots of fun. Clean.

Kevin Meyers

Awesome place to bowl and staff is great aswell

Chrissy Marlow

Our first visit here. The gentleman working was exceptional! He gave one of our kids a quick little "how-to", he was very willing to let us bowl another game (even though it was closing time and he could have been going home), and he was just a really nice, attentive guy. Alley was clean and balls organized by pounds. We had fun!

DORIS HOYKA

Great place for bowling with friends.

Father's Rights Matter

If you want to bowl, this is the place. Great owners and very entertaining.

Nick M

My kids love coming here. They staff are great and super nice.

itsthe badguy

Seems a little dated but the price is right

Kyla Pierson

We had the best time here channeling our inner Jeff Lebowski- but for real, staff made sure we had a great time and we enjoyed the atmosphere so much. Highly recommend, definitely our first stop the next time we are in Calgary

howard johnson

Great service

Corazon Sun

Nice

Theresa Hendricken

Friendly and helpful

Shawnna Vert

So fun and great for the kids

Bren Renae

Went here for the Autumn Open. Was a great atmosphere and really enjoyed meeting some of the best bowlers in Canada.

Ryan Connop

Great 90s atmosphere (like a bowling alley should have) and super friendly staff. Can't wait to come back!

Benjamin Heflick

The owner charged me double the price that was listed on his rates sheet and then when I showed him the receipt he told me it was too bad and he wouldn't do anything about it. I came in the next day with the receipt and he argued with me until I threatened to call the police if he did not refund the portion of my money that was not appropriately charged and he gave me cash from the till and then told me I was not welcome at the business. Such a great little town and it is too bad that the owner operates the way that he does. He makes the whole experience extremely uncomfortable and with so many other options for entertainment on the island I would stick to bowling when you are not visiting the island. Also there is no alcohol/beer available and the owner is too lazy to get a liquor license and the pizza place has horrible food. I will pass on this one.

Keith L

Love paradise Lanes .....its very paradisian here . The owner is very kind and always remembers us and tries his very best to accommodate us. Highly recommended
