Cute center. 12 lanes of AMF 10 pin lanes, plus 5 pin. Currently no pro shop. Brunswick authority-22 / Envoy lane machine. Staff is next-level friendly. Very clean and looked to be well maintained. Really good pricing

Hosted my daughter's 4th bday for glow in the dark 5 pin bowling. We had 15+ people everything went really well. A bit pricy but you get what you pay for!

When ya feel like striking out in a good way ehhhhhhhhhh!

Aether VODs

Asked to bowl 2 games and they said they they only sold by the hour. Ended up being $37 for just myself to play. Makes sense if you have a group and can split the cost, however due to covid groups aren’t recommended. Unfortunate that it’s so expensive as a solo activity. Lanes were clean, just expensive.

It was amazing to finally get out and have some fun!! Fairview lanes has a great set up!! I would definately go back for sure!!

Anywhere I go, I take in all considerations. I watch the way people treat their couriers as well. Couriers have delivered massive heavy boxes to this place with no accessibility. 2 flights of stairs and 1 dolly. What makes me give this place 2 stars is the lack of assistance they provide and the lack of personality. They're not too friendly here unless you're spending money.

MR. WHOPPERBURGER

The lanes are 5 and 10 pin the lanes are not good. The lanes make the balls bounce and they are not oiled. They are very dry lanes if thats what you personally like. The pinfall is very rough too. You'll mainly see chop offs and corners if hitting the pocket.

Wow fun time but could use an update ????

Christopher Ross (rossgiftscom)

It's underneath the main mall, with stairs that feel far too steep for me to enjoy carrying a child down.

Celeste Allyn

Affordable. Great place to take your kids on a rainy day. Friendly, helpful staff. We've been here a couple of times and would recommend.

Barb Larmet

My daughter and i had a good time at fairview lanes with our friend Julie and her 3 kids we all enjoyed ourselves and had lots of fun ????

Old run down rude staff. The price you pay at this place. It should be a lot nicer.

CLAUDE HAGGERTY

I wanted to leave this 1 star review for you this evening so that you understand how much we were disappointed with the customer service we received from your Fairview Bowling Centre this evening. First let me begin with the fact that we are regular visitors to your establishment and pre covid we were coming to bowl 3-5 times per month. Found out you just re opened and we were excited to take the family out for a few games of bowling. Called ahead and reserved the lane from 6:30 pm to 8 pm which was your closing time. Arrived paid the $52 to bowl the 90 minutes. We were the only customers in the place. At 7 pm we order food. Tipped the girl at the counter about $4 and then asked for a side of mayo for the fries. That will be a 50 cents up charge for the table spoon of mayo. Ok no problem we pay the up sell charge. At 7:20 we go back to the counter to get drinks and we were told sorry you are 5 minutes late as you pointed to the little sign behind the plastic stating that last call was 7:15 pm. We were the only family in the entire place and we were bowling right directly in front of the snack bar. You could have served us or even given us a common courtesy by asking if we needed anything before the 7:15 deadline you posted. But then one of you would have to put your cell phones down to serve us or at least check on us before hand. We were the only family there. Holy cow man. Then at 7:45 we get the notice on the screen that we had 15 minutes remaining on our 90 minutes. Then the 5 minute warning. To bad you don't use that warning system to notify folks you are shutting down the food and drinks. At 8 pm we were just ready to start the 10th frame and you shut down the game. A good owner would have said Hey I see you are 3 minutes from finishing so I'll turn if back on for 3 minutes to let you finish..or at least ask us if we would pay another 50 cents to finish but hey that would have taken a few seconds away from your texting time. We are sorry to inconvenience your staff this evening. Think we'll check out some other bowling centers in the areas.

I went to Fairview Bowling Lanes with my work children (I work with children with special needs), not only did they offer a reduced rate, but they were extremely accommodating and friendly regardless of the chaos we brought in. I will for sure return as the kids had an amazing time!!

Diane Martin

Had a fantastic time... Clean and very helpful staff

Victor Goertz

Not at all busy during the day through the week this summer. Shoe rental is free for retirees. Nice lanes. What is not to like?

Paul Pedersen

this place is in the basement of the mall. its pretty old school. still got tube tv.. you can tell it's an old place. if u get bumpers for the kids then everyone has to use them. a lot of places it will go up and down for every person. the service is friendly but very slow. they only have one till and having a couple groups a head of you could take 15 mins. for 2 games and rental 1 kid 1 adult cost 44 dollars which to me is on the high end for an older establishment. the food is not bad but is very basic but reasonable pricing. over all not bad expierence...

Brenda Sutherland

Insanity Logic

cloutman1

Best family bowling in St. Catharines.

Mary Klassen

I have found the staff friendly and very helpful when I come with my crew of children. We have fun!

Sarah Depenning

I have been bowling at Fairview lanes for 44 years and have always come away thinking when can I go back I bowl twice a week winter and summer????????????????

R S

I agree with others - rude staff at shoe counter and a bit pricey. We went for Cosmic bowling at 9:30pm last weekend and according to their website supposed to be: "Laser Lights, Disco Lights, Black Lights, and Runway Lights. Haze machines pumping out fog. LOUD heart pounding music." Not true! All there was was some music videos playing on the TV screens and a few runway lights in the 5 pin section. No fog machines or laser or disco lights or heart pounding music ugh..... two thumbs down!

T Bennett

Over priced

Eric Kendall

Enjoyed bowling but we tried to get something to eat about 10 min to 9 and the girl working said she couldn't because she had to clean the fryer...they closed at 11 ...and in the meantime she was making food for a staff member...I was a paying customer with 3 other people would have been a 40 dollar order...very poor customer service ...I will never return there again that was awful service that person needs to be trained on how customer service works

Joshua Clutterbuck

New year's eve our bowling lanes broke down evey 3 minuites. Talked to the manager, ha said "because it's new years he can't do anything" Safe to say I won't be back!! I

Jennifer Mooradian

So much fun! Great night out with the kids.

Ken Arndt

Great bowling. Long stairs up and down. Automatic scoring. Clean and comfortable

Kitty K

Birthday Party We had had a birthday party. The value for the price is very good. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had a problem with the lane and in a second it was solved. The only thing why one star is missing is because of the food. The patties were black and the sausage was not tasty. The fries were good. Only 1 kid ate the hamburger. :-( It was possible to bring an own cake and decoration. ????

(Translated) The bowling is "in its juice"! But charming. (Original) Le bowling est "dans son jus" ! Mais charmant.
