Reviews of Academy Lanes West (Bowling Alley)

Grant Sinclair

Fun place to hang out. The bowling is reasonably priced and you can drink while you play. They also have pool if there not your thing. Nice staff.

Furious Dragon360

Clean, blacklights, fun atmosphere. Liscenced

Harminder Grewal

Good place for bowling

Sternguard

Nice clean facilities, polite staff and average pricea shoe rental included. But damm is it hard to find one small sign marking its location. But it is where Google maps says it is.

Mike Rempel

I have not been to this location in a very long time From what I remember parking is not the best . But this location has probably had many upgrades since I was there. I do remember that I had a great time

Billy Denby

Best place to glow bowl in the city

Kristin Walld

Good bowling alley let's of lanes, lots of balls, lots of pins, lots of shoes. Everything a bowling alley needs! Although everything is sort of sticky... Would recommend it however.

I come here quite often with my daughter for Tuesday bowling. I really appreciate that they have both types of bowling in the one location, and the staff is always quick to help out if there are any issues. A good time if anyone is looking for a fun afternoon or evening out!

This place is a little bit hard to find but it was a pleasant surprise when we did. The lanes were modern and well-kept. The staff was friendly and courteous. We had a great family bowling experience. The free water dispenser was appreciated too.

Lawrence Flett

good place, good staff.

Kenneth Stevenson

Good times, one frame at a time! ????

Thaslim S

Nice ambience and good bowling place

Josh Cheater

10 pin bowling is way better than 5 pin! You have to try it!

Grant Kummen

Haven't been to these lanes in forever, but they did not disappoint. Cost less than $40 for 4 of us to play for an hour. Then played 3 or 4 games of pool for under $5. 5 or 10 pin bowling. The only thing missing was the old arcade!

Shawn Ryland

Newly renovated!

Jakobb7

Busy but a great place to bowl at night after 10!

Anish Arora

Can be more clean and lively

reid kennedy

Good place to bowl. Needs better ventilation though.

13 77

Had a great time here. Both staff were friendly and helpful! Very clean place! It was not too busy, possibly due to the cold weather, so we had the place mostly to ourselves! Will return again soon ????

V Favored

Plio loved the neon lights and shoes...good place for kids and adults to play together

Iron Myth

The kids were beating a clown

Doug Mitchell

Back in September we went there for my son's birthday and I don't think it could have been better. they understood that the kids needed supervision on the lanes so they gave a couple of parents shoes to help them if needed throw a couple balls didn't matter they made it really fun and enjoyable the food was good which was not expected. the popcorn is the same style popcorn from the movies which was perfect cuz who doesn't love that stuff.

Twixter Mick

Good value clean

Ezekiel Ramadan

Good place for bowling, wish there was a little bit more lights in there.

Heechan Kim (Philip Kim)

The lane conditions are teribble. The lane was super dry so when I make a hook, my ball just goes straight into the gutter.

Jessie Smithers

go to bowling spot with the friends. always have a great time and never have any complaints with the staff

Josi Johns

Glow bowling with kids ringette team was fun. No gluten free option for food, but they were ok with us bringing in our own pizza for our daughter.

Sandra Haley

Great atmosphere. Fun bowling. Good food + drinks

Kylee Pedersen

The place was clean and very fun. The only problem is that the pop is VERY flat.

Miss Penguin

Service wasn't that great.

coolulu

The bowling lane does not work properly and you would have waste your gaming time asking over and over again the staff to reset the lanes. I wouldn't recommend.????????????????

Payton Richardson

Glow bowling. 5 or 10 pin. Been coming here for years and love it.

Kerry Kerslake

Love bowling here!!

Erika DeBruyne

Some of our best family memories have been made here.

gamma1 alpha2

with the Pizza and Nacho Combo, you can't go wrong

Winnipeg Wale

Really nice place. Must visit with friends

phrank1976

had fun nice touch with the couches

어차피 1등은 SuperJunior

Always a good experience. Love that they have the 10 pins. The girl even made a drink for me that wasn't on the menu

Dale Mcallister

Great time awesome fresh pizza

Mckinley Morton

You can bowl or play pool. The pool tables are in an awkward set up with tables and pillars that make it difficult to play. A little expensive but friendly staff.

Stimulate The Clint

Always fun to toss some balls down a lane.

Kaj Moroz

Friendly staff and fairly tame in terms of crowds. Decently priced.

Rod N

Not bad, lots of equipment glitches. Lanes got stuck a bunch of times. Clean facility, pricing was good.

Mahyar Mirrashed

What an amazing place to go with your family and friends. It's almost never too crowded and the service there is amazing. Love the glow in the dark there and the seating for the 10-pin bowling was above my expectations. A solid 16 lanes and monitors both in the seating area and right above the lane to let you know whose turn it is and the scoreboard for your game. It's much more worth it to go by the hour if you're a small group of friends. Otherwise paying per game is the better and more relaxing choice.

April Lim

Super accomodating!! Staff we're really helpful. I organized a surprise party and they went above and beyond! I'm very happy and will definitely gonna come back! Look for Zach.

Barrett Mueller

Some pesky little munchkins almost ran me over with their cake filled smiles, paired with their extra smelly cloth foot covers. This combination made me never want children... The popcorn smell was quite above par and made the bowling money worth it????

Elena Kurakin

It was garbidge on the stairs and place has smell of old building whene people smoke a lot.Not pleasant feeling when you walk in.The game stoped few times because of technical issues but it was fixed by the staff and time added.

Connor Nord

This bowling alley is awesome and it’s the best place to go play ten pin.

Nathan Hogg

Nice place, lots of updates if you haven't been here in a while!

R Neitzke

Fun place

Jeanette Thomas

Relaxing atmosphere..

Brandon Dix

Surprising gem in the west end.

Very clean, very friendly staff, I've always liked the food. I think when it comes to staff they are very good, I like the setup, all in all I feel it's great for kids and great for adults.

Michael G Spence

deep dhillon

Christine Mitchell

Jean Berg

Brought my daughter (6) to a friend's birthday party Saturday morning. The kids all had a lot of fun and the staff brought out hot pizza the moment they were finished bowling. Staff were pleasant and accommodating, especially with the kids. Loved the glo bowling.

chris gauthier

The absolute worst 10 pin lanes in the city. The lanes were super dry, I put a hook only ball and even my plastic ball grabbed too much. And my balls came back covered in dirt and scratches. Don't come here if you're a serious bowler. When I approached the staff I was told they only oil twice a week and I should "use our house balls if you're not comfortable using your own equipment" never coming here again.

Garrett Mac Neill

I personally enjoy coming here to play pool after a busy day at work. Also the staff is great and pleasant and it feels very clean when I walk in. Keep up the great work guys ????

Josh Donay

It was Pre Good

Chris Alfred

Neat establishment. Went glow bowling with family. Decent rates. Customer service was good.

Jay F

It was my first time here and the staff were friendly, the place was clean, and I had a fun time. Barely anyone there but we went early. Chicken fingers are really good and they have lots of other food options. Also kid-friendly.

석찬호 chris ho

Ok good

Brenda McCallum

Great location, good staff and the lanes are nice. Offer snacks and treats as well as drink, including alcoholic. Parking isn't great.

Chase Kielback

Don't ever go here unless you want to get scammed, We asked to play two game and paid and only received one game! The staff members were also very rude and just wanted more money. This was the worst blowing experience I've ever had.

Arik Zilbert

Place is nice . Price wise little bit on a high side . Service is awsome. probably won't go back because we like 10 pin bowling but the balls are horrible either the weigh doesn't match the hole sizes or there are cracks in the holes that will hurt your fingers.we are not pro players but that was annoying. There are pool tables there . Will try them next time .

LDebra Leclair

ICERAZR 11

Good

Tyler Klassen

Place was not clean. Lanes seemed old and not recently waxed. The staff member that took payment and got us our shoes looked like she would rather stab forks in her eyes than be there another five minutes. Atmosphere and vibe was fantastic.

Bernice Kwasnicki

Staff is friendly and helpful. All social distancing rules abided. Clean areas. Fun place to spend with friends.

Dawn Cruz

Lots of fun, food was delicious. Atmosphere was very friendly

Bill Candline

Bowling lanes bright and well looked after, however pool room is dark and tables very dirty and not level
