Reviews of Bonnie Doon Bowling Lanes (Bowling Alley)

Amber Morgan

Had an excellent experience taking our 4 year old for his first time bowling in January. We had an alley with the gutter bumpers up and the bowling helper stand for him to roll his ball from. He had so much fun! We've been back again just last weekend, and again it was an awesome family afternoon. We'll be back regularly!

The Two-Faced Psycho

I go every week the staff is nice and efficient at what they do. The lanes are well kept.

Makayla

Food is good. I love that they have screens you can enter your names on instead of paper and pencil.

Martin Mysliwiec

Quiet ace during the day time. It's ten pin bowling if memory serves me correct. I used come here frequently in my youth, and if I remember to, I'll definitely visit again. I'm not sure but I think neon bowling is still available. "Put down the TV remote and gaming console controller" and let's see some true skills. Great for first timers, regulars, and people who haven't bowled for a while like myself.

Ray Brittain

Martin and his crew run a great facility!

Mathew Hermary

Who doesn't like bowling. The staff was depressing, not much energy from them, but the lanes where great, the fast fry food worked , and we had a great time .

Judith Rodgers-Rodgirs

Nice friendly place, safe for the family. Snacks and drinks available. Staff have a good disposition. Lots of lanes. Shoe rentals and party rooms available for rent for kids birthday or other events.

Brad Massett

Nice recently upgraded bowling lanes at a reasonable price, good opportunities to play in a simple fun league

Maggie Reichel

Friendly staff, easy to book lanes, best cheese pizza in town!!

Jenny

Matt Houston

Liam J Crotty

Love these 5 pin lanes!

Jamie Olson

Been open since the 50's . Still fun place , clean and good service

Heather Savage-Dahl (Lieutenant)

Love going here. Always friendly and comfortable. They always talk to my 6yr old niece as a grown up and listen to her stories.

emmylou bignose

Love it here. Had a racial incident happen to me was so glad it was resolved and not tolerated, feel safe here.

Dawn Budney

Always a fun outing. The place could physically use an upgrade but for a bowling alley they do a great job!

Mark Jamieson

Might be better if they suggested highest value options. They are posted but buyer beware. They'll give you what you want even if there's a better deal.

Diana Bardales

Great space and not overly crowded, seems like a hidden gem. Didn’t try the food last time I was there so 4 stars will just have to do for now

Atticus Paine

Favourite place to bowl awesome staff great leagues to bowl never tried there food so I can't complement on that I heard from friends great food. I love 5 pin bowl and i love that they don't have the big oversized balls. My grandma always takes me. I made a lot of friends through leagues. There lanes are old fashioned they make a few mistakes like balls get jammed up ,not counting your scores after a turn and on lane 23 the balls don't ride up on the counter the rid half way and jump up and come after you very fast OUCH!!! I did not see that coming.

Dorothy Hamilton

I love this place! I love the retro aesthetic, the quality of the lanes, and the inexpensive beer. You can’t go wrong with a 3 game special! The best part of Bonnie Doon mall and my favourite bowling alley in Edmonton. Fantastic!

Martha McRuckus

The balls are old, the shoes are falling apart, the food is basic, but there are lots of lanes and it's just plain fun!

Justina A.

staff always friendly here! always a joy to walk in and chat it up with them and bowl! will do so again! they recently added some super fun looking murals to the entrances.

Michelle Peterson

good place for the kids birthday parties

Ella McDade

Great place to hang out with groups and a lot of fun for the whole family!

Sarah Mundorf

Great fun for any age group!

Arie Brentnall-Compton

Wonderful local facility, perfect for a family evening together.

Thomas Reves

Very old bowling lanes in a very old mall. Since it's 5 pin with the small balls it's been fun to take the kids there. They also have neon bowling and the food is also pretty good.

Tiffany B

Been going for years!! Love bowling here . My kids have birthday parties too. Go here!

Rob

Me and my boys love this place!! The staff is very friendly and very informative..decent prices!! Good family fun over 30 lanes .. very clean! Plus the bonnie doon bowling lanes is part of the Kids Bowl free program!! So my kids can bowl 2 free games everyday all summer long!! Only thing I had to pay was the shoe rental fees!! I highly recommend this place!!..

O. R.

been there so many times and everytime just loved it!

Jonathan Page

Fun 5 pin bowling, lots of lanes and friendly staff

Peter Gaulhofer

Great place to blow off some steam

susan justsusan

Friendly staff; clean; no waiting - on the afternoon long weekend Monday!; food is a little pricey-buy the pizza, not the burgers; 3 games bowling including shoes, 2 adults, 2 under 7 children=$63, i do not know if that is reasonable...but we had lots of fun!

Gerry Joly

Good bowling, friendly and fast service.

Stacey Edwards

I love going here. Its never busy and the balls are small and light enough for little kids. Food is cheap too

Maxwell

Very kind people & best labatts 50 in town.

Harris Mandy

Always have such a good time here!

One Day

Customer friendly atmosphere, not much crowded.

Carolyn McAdams

A great place to bowl and forget that winter is coming. The food, oh well it is a bowling alley. But if someone put there mind to it, the place could be even better with the addition of better eats.

Chris Gavigan (Sweet Basil Catering)

Saturday night is black light bowling, extra fun. Great spot for kids and teens. Food was fine and good beer selection.

Kimberlee Billows

Staff seem to enjoy the work when I have been there in the evenings. Food concession prices are a bit expensive for what they provide. New laminate bowling surfaces are good for the lanes.

Gurkirpal “Gurk” Dhanoa

What a great experience for my little munchkin.... family had a blast

Tara Bohle

I prefer 5 pin to 10 pin easier for the kids and me haha. Nice patient staff here good food

Conrad Kenneth

Bottles of pilsner hell yeahs!

Barbara Lynn

Such a great place to bowl! So fun!

Sue Matthews

Very nice and well organized. Pizza was delicious!

Mags Smith

The best staff and the most reasonable rates!

paul thorup

Neon bowl was just okay

Sue Davison

Awesome time

Keyur Patel

Never tried Canadian bowling before. It's kind of a different PIN bowls.

Sparkles Sparkles

Very old facility that needs updating in my opinion. However, nice bowling activity.

Bret Betnar

Friendly staff and the lanes are well maintained.

Buck Wylder

Its a very lax and easy place to just walk in and play a couple rounds with family and friends. That being said, the staff do seem rather bored and rightly so, as some days have them just sitting and waiting for guests to come or go. We had to try and get the attention of one of the front clerk employee's browsing their phone, they'd seemed rather too engrossed in it to notice new clients showing up. I don't fault them for that, the work looks abysmal and very dragging. Still, out of the many times I've attended during their more busy hours, the employee's are giving it their all and providing quality efficient services~

Aaron W

Always a fun time being in the league!!

Sarah H

Great time lots of Covid safety measures in place

Greg Townsend

We usually come on the weekends or on holidays and always have a great time. Lots of lanes so even without a reservation we never had trouble getting a lane. Prices are fair and it's a great atmosphere to spend a fun couple hours. League bowling available, and all you can bowl on some evenings.

N and C Dekker

Some good old five pin fun. Good place to bring the family.

David Aschenmeier

We have had two kids birthday parties here, and have been very impressed with their level of courtesy. Five-pin bowling is so fun, and so designed to go with a pizza party. They provide you with a private party room, balloons, pizza, drinks and an hour of bowling for a great rate. The lanes and equipment are really well maintained. We will be back again and again!

Gilles Page

Always fun fore the whole family

Travis Routley

Great place to take the kids.

John Lepine

Lovely bowling alley! Great atmosphere and good times for a decent price.

MikeandAndrea Sloat

I was a fun time clean an quite

Val Robertson

Lots of fun! We tried glow bowling, which added another element.

Clayton Plamondon

Only got food. But food was tasty and well priced

John Farrell

50 lanes of classic fun

Allison Wilson

Fun place to take the kids. Lanes are little worn out and the balls definitely could be replaced. Still have the greasy food you used to love at the bowling alley - good fries!

Alesha Plandowski

Went here for a birthday party. It is dated but still fun

Krista Fast

We went for a friend's birthday and they gave us the worst lane - right by the food counter so the glow lights were useless and we were all dressed for it. There were tons of empty lanes along the far side that were much darker, so it was kind of a bummer

Kate puim

Too expensive, too runned down and felt really dirty. Plus the lanes would always get stuck

Pete2all K

Awesome kicks and tunes for rent lol. Good place for relax and giggles

Trevor DeMaere

Great hangout for friends and family!

Alex Arsenault

Great atmosphere and great tasting food. Overall with the low prices, a great place to hang out with friends and family for an activity.

shandelle hagen

Fun warm friendly place to hang out and have fun exercising

Nicole Sorensen

This is the main bowling alley I usually go to when I go. I like how simply this alley is, it has everything you need for a five pin bowling alley. I have been here on countless occasions including when I did kids bowl free so all you need to pay for is the shoes each time. A different experience is doing neon bowling as well.

Rose Lily

Unsure of the hours. Google says 9 pm and their site says closes at 6 pm. Not sure of the hours and we wanna go later than 6

Chandra Adhikari

One of best places for an outing

Cyndal Zurbrigg

Such a fun time. Great value

Barb Lamoureux

Great family owned business!

Laura Macneil

This bowling alley is great for kids birthday parties. The prices are great and the staff is super friendly. It is located in the basement of Bonnie Doon Mall but there is also a elevator to make it accessible by everyone. Their pizza is delicious and it is much quieter than other bigger bowling alleys in the city. Definitely reccomend checking it out if you want a family bowling day with the kiddos on a budget.

Teri-James Besseling

Great place for all ages Clean Good food Very welcoming

Rachel Lehay

Very friendly. Fun place to go for bowling

linda gough

Lots of fun

Morgan

Went with a group for my birthday and had a blast! Wasn't too busy at the time plus friendly service.

Dylan Bier

My favorite bowling alley. Lanes are well kept. House balls are well... house balls. Lol Front counter is always helpful and I usually find myself bowling alot more games then my body would like. I bought a set of balls. ( guess I couldn't grow em like the gf told me too) and oh wow did that change my game. Wouldnt mind joining a leaque one day and trying it out. Food is pretty good too. Perfect when you are 10games into a 15 game session.

Sec Wooly

I sure hope the lanes are spared the new construction. I will feel so sad if they are removed.

Kellie Wright

I am all about customer service and the ladies here were fantastic. Above and beyond for my kiddos. Would go again

Garrett Hoffmeier

nev ets

Poorly staffed but a terrific ally w great facility. It seems to be the reason the mall hasn’t fallen. Foods overpriced but meh, balls are in good shape.. but it’s hard not to feel the difference when the staff Doesn’t care if u r there or not

Minesh Mehta

Good bowling facility. More than 10 tracks of bowling. In summer, kids have two free session of bowling games. Food is good. Staff is courteous.

LESLEY KELLY

A lot of fun with the grand children. A set of 3 games for 15.99 is a good deal.

jason henderson

Great place for kids parties. We've had our daughters birthday there for the past 2 years. The kids love the neon bowling. They have party rooms you can book as well. Pub style food. Pizzas fries and what not. You can get alchol here for the parents. Lots of lanes and seating.

Greg

Wonderful bowling alley! Very friendly staff and owner!!

Patrick “Starman” Starr

Social was better than bowling skills

Tammy Wright

Great times!! Yummy fries and gravy

frederick gratton

Great place to bowling .

Mateo Gudelj

Great bowling experience here, very reasonably priced for both bowling and drinks. Friendly service and accommodating for a big group, food was also very good. Will definitely return. Note: has 5-pin bowling and not 10-pin, only major difference between these bowling lanes and others.

# 1

The absence of dignified customer service and accusation of having played three instead of one game and no lime for corona taunted this otherwise great experience!

David Turner (Thoepden Lobsang)

Went bowling with my sons. We had a great time. We played two games and had some fries. The staff was friendly and we enjoyed the time together. We had no issues with equipment or lanes.

Abram Hartrick

Great setup during Covid

Dean T

Bowling was good. They have ramps for little kids. The birthday party rooms are small. The food is quite greasy.

Maria Lucia S. Seixas Figueiredo

Very kid friendly. Staff was helpful and pleasant. Bowling balls are small. Perfect to go with family and friends.

Peter Moloney

Had a fun time playing in the Edmonton Corporate Games.

Colton Peacey

Great staff, good clean lanes, and well polished balls, I like how this place always looks clean and well kept for how long it has been open.

Morgoth Melkor

Best place for bowling I've been to

Priti P

Great lane for kids. My son Birthday party was great.

rob harkema

Great place to go for family fun.

Don Nelson

Fun place to go too

Nolan Brost

Walked in and it was very busy so I approached the front counter and was going to ask if they had any open lanes but the staff were ignoring me so I waited patiently. When the older lady did notice me waiting she very rudely stated that there aren't any lanes open before I had even said a word to her. Had she replied kindly I wouldn't have been angry about the lack of lanes because I knew that was a possibility when I came in without booking a lane.

Pam Duigou

Love the ladies and wine bowling league!!!

Mike M

Fun place to take the kids

Bonita Diana Lange

They are great hosts for events. Only place I will eat a pineapple pizza. Always sweet and tasty.

Brienne Warawa

We got here on time for our reservation and we were told to wait, because other people were late. Then they brought our food 30 minutes later than we ordered it for!! #TerribleExpirence #willnevergobackthereagain But it was still okay.

Connie Neumann

I always love coming here to bowl. The service is great and they are so accommodating for my son who is disabled and they have ball ramps for him and my grand children as well.

Randy Macdonald

Great group...had fun watching my granddaughters bowling very slowly. Good people!

Melissa Falls

Older place, doesn't stop people from going there. Was packed with tons of people and all ages.

Jessica Erickson

I love it
