Reviews of Orillia Bowl (Bowling Alley)

Wil Twynstra

Awesome staff. Thanks for letting us come in and have a much needed night out

Frank JR Skelton

I can't believe some of the reviews on here. This place is great. Music is awesome, the lanes are kept up very well. electronic scoreboard (no more math skills) And it plays funny videos when you actually do get a Turkey). (three strikes in a row). Great Place I will definitely be back.

We had a great time even though we hadn't been bowling in decades. Drove down from Gravenhurst and ran into great friends who drove up from Barrie. Fun was had by all parents grandparents and kids! Thanks for an affordable fun evening.

Teresa Jordan

Pretty good

Brent 77

Good place to go to kill some time. Open almost all day everyday. Staff is friendly and the prices are fair. The food is surprisingly good. I would recommend the fresh chips they make! Bar as well which makes the whole experience a bit better.

Carter Wray

I had a great time with my family bowling and the environment was fun and welcoming I would recommend. My only problem was how comfortable the shoes were which was not great but still worth it to put up with

Kevin Beaudoin

Awesome glow in the dark bowling.

Leanna Mongrain

Awesome bowling alley. Great atmosphere!!

Conn O'Carroll

Expensive. Unfriendly customer service. Don't do a kids birthday party here.

Sherry Johnson

It's a good little place to take the kids bowling... food is a bit pricey and I would buy more if it was more reasonable. Bowling is great with electronic lanes to keep score for you:D

Jack Farrell

The bowling is fine, however the staff weren't really friendly.

Paul Hill

Had great awesome Christmas party

Bryan Pittock

Pro's - Great Staff. Good rates. Con's- Missing Ball cleaners and hand chalk stations. Too many slippery balls. Also as no food or ????TIM HORTONS COFFEE ????can be brought in, the Food pricing seems on the predator side as it's all Frozen storage food reheated for premium prices. Like I said, good folks and hoping to return for a better experience and positive review update.

Went bowling today the place was mostly empty and my wallet went missing from my purse, pretty sure it was the sketchy guy working there. The place was empty except for the seniors bowling league.Thanks never go there again! We spent over 100 bucks, on gross overpriced food, now I'm down an extra 75 (my grocery money) from my wallet and all my id. My mother thought she would take me and my kids for a nice day out, they have cameras but seamed very put out by me asking for them to check them, and didn't seam to eager to help. They never bothered to call me back to let me know, so customer satisfaction is not something they value. I've only heard bad things about the people working there. We still managed to enjoy the time spent together, and bowling was fun. By far the worst place unfortunately it's the only place people can go so guess that's why they domt care to do better. Monopolies.

Sarah Morgan

Been a few times and had a blast both times! Nice folks! Fun colours!

First time play 5 pins and really have fun!

Cassandra Muise

Best place in town for a birthday party!

Maddison Hill

Its fun

Mike Ya

$45 for 2 people to bowl for an hour and we split a poutine. The debit machine asks you to leave a tip. I don't know who the tip would be for or why... it seems anywhere you use debit nowadays they expect a tip. I had fun with my girlfriend but I feel this place is too expensive.

Kelly McEvoy

Good family fun and friendly staff. Could use a little updating.

Jill Nelson

We took our staff for an evening of bowling and we had a fantastic time. The place has been renovated and it looks great. The staff were wonderful.

Judy Green-Troy

Andy and Cathy are great. They set us up with a perfectly matched team. We have enjoyed bowling here since we started in September. All the staff is friendly and polite. Thank you so much. It is a perfect Thursday night activity for us. Judy and Jack Green

Ariel Ruff

Great place to go for a kid friendly night out! The old school 5 pin bowling lanes, diner food and upbeat music make this a fun spot for all ages. They have great, friendly service and the prices aren't bad either.

Jodi (Pebbz)

They're so friendly!! The design is great!! They go all out Black lights a pool table a bar. And the food is top notch!!

Melanie Milligan

Soo much fun!

ATEAMrT MRT

Rude and obnoxious . Coldwater bowling is way better .

brian gallant

Great place to have fun

HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN

Over priced and absolute rude owners. The two workers were ok but the owner and his wife were moody and ignorant, they would talk to all the customers so snotty with disgust in their voice. The other family's there also couldn't believe their behavior. The food and drinks are also over priced and disgusting even the over priced fountain drinks that they sell for $3.75 is absolutely disgusting. It's a shame to have a place like this in our community that treats families and their children like their all scum. This place should be boycotted to the max... ABSOLUTE DISGRACE..

Kayla Sproule

Staff is extremely disrespectful and the food was horrible. I regret even stepping foot into that place. I would definitely not recommend.

Paul Kuznecov

Not a bad little 5 pin venue.

V P

I went here and paid the price to bowl. When I was very dehydrated I asked for a cup of tap water and they rudely refused. I did not have extra money to pay almost 4 dollars for a bottle of water. I am not coming back and will not recommend this place to anyone. It is overpriced and the staff are disrespectful.

Carolyn Dubeau

Great family day

Cody Wiley

Had a wicked time! It was glow in the dark style and everything seemed very new and updated. Nice to see it's still going strong. They serve alcohol and other bevvies, food and clean facilities.

Soaring Soulless

Took my 4 children here today and was in shock at the way me and the kids were talked to by a man a woman that I found out after are apparently the owners. These guy's seemed so moody everytime they spoke. It was almost like they couldn't be bothered by their customers and it was so bad that we didn't even want to "bother" them by ordering anything else which actually turned out to be a good thing because the prices were outrageous plus the quality was poor. I will NEVEW take my family here again and I wouldn't recommend this place to a soul.

Wrap Academy

Great for birthday parties. Heading to one today.

Tyler

The staff is extremely rude and it's over priced. I would never go there again.

Leigh Payne

Cracking little place for a night out

Mia S

Loretta was fantastic not to be out done by Andy who is the new owner… What an upgrade, what a fun experience, my family had a great time...kept adding minutes… Totally worth it!!!!

Karen Newman

We visited on Saturday afternoon for some fun for a birthday. We hadn't made a reservation but we were able to score a lane just walking in. The rental shoes we the newest and nicest rental bowling shoes I have ever worn! Some of the stitching was glowing in the Glow-in-the-Dark lighting. Empty lanes were left between each bowling party to allow for social distancing and masks could be removed while bowling, which was nice. 90s and 00s music was playing while we bowled and our group enjoyed the Throwback feeling of the music from our youth. Overall we had a good time and stayed for two hours. Was nice to see the bowling alley attendant cleaning the bowling balls after each group. Well done!

Luke Coughey

This place was fun, clean and really busy by the time we left. My only complaint is how expensive it was. It want unreasonable, but considerably more than expected.

Rachael Standish

I haven't bowled in decades... Rainbow Lanes is such a great bowling alley that I shall return again next week. The facility is top notch, it's immaculately kept, the prices are reasonable, the tunes are great, and the owner is very knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you for a wonderful time, see you next week !!

Peter Coates

I had a great time; the Wednesday night special is an excellent deal since you can easily bowl three or even four games in an hour and a half.

Jerry Branham

Went here with my sister. Spent 2 hours here. Love the set-up, clean, nice atmosphere. However, the prices are a little high and the rest rooms need to be upgraded.

cory s

Would never come back to this place again. Took my young son here aside no one here aside us didn't have bumper boards for younger kids, prices are WAY TOO HIGH...the only good thing about this place maybe the staff....2 thumbs WAY DOWN

Candice Rainey

Fun place to go! With great prices! $1.00 for a coffee can't beat that! Had a a blast! Definitely will go again and highly recommend going!

Lpg Dan

Fun filled place!!! Have enjoyed many years of great bowling and new friends in their leagues.

Brian McKechnie

Always a fun time here! Staff are super friendly and the prices are reasonable.

A lot of fun. CLEAN, pleasant staff and owners. Been going for years . Recently new owners and refurbished....love it kids love it . Brings good memories back

Johnny Bgood

Clean environment...great staff but $70 for a couple and 2 kids to bowl for an hr seems expensive 2 me

Sue Wilkinson

They care about the athletes

Bev Borrelli

We had a great time with friends and family... music was good, service was great and really like the electronic scoring system. A well run family business.

Gfl Gerry McConnell Jr

Adam Poulton

ravi aggarwal

Fun. Great service. Clean. Fun.

Susy Stewart

Nice enough. 31.- per lane and 4.-per person

Chris Knight

1980's real if that's your roll

Julie

Went on a Friday with a bunch of kids had a blast and enjoyed the glow in the dark bowling

diane calder

Fun birthday party 5 year ols

Samantha Hitchcock

We had reservations for 2 hours and when we showed up they said we only had an hour to bowl. When I let them know we were supposed to have the lanes for 2 hours the employee, instead of trying to accommodate our appropriate reservation, told us they are too busy and don't have space. She was rude and pushy. When the owner came over and heard what was going on he also decided to be rude and told us it is what it is. I'm sorry but that was their mistake and they could have atleast been apologetic about the situation which they weren't at all. Not impressed with the customer service we received there today and will not be going back due to the way we were spoken to

Lea Fraser

A consistent Cora s high standred.. fresh and fadt

chantal smith

Great option for entertaining kids of all ages. Price is based on time rather than per game which worked out well for us as we bowl fairly quickly. May be a negative with a younger slower crowed. Price was good and the atmosphere was fun.

Matt Xoce

I have been coming to orrillia bowl for over 6 months and I love it super happy and helpful staff as well as a simply delightful atmosphere I love coming here and I will continue to love coming here....ps BEST POUTINES EVER!!!!

Char Dmitrovic

We had a great time there today! Prices were good, food was great and big portions, it was clean and we all had a blast! We will be back for sure, also the employees were super friendly!!

Emily Farry

Norm Neilson

Love it great place to have some family fun

Lucas Johnston

It is a fantastic place to, go and enjoy a night of bowling.

Patrick Casavant

Typical bowling set up. I believe the 3rd and 4th lanes from the right is warped.

Deborah Pattenden

Great family fun!!!! The staff were awesome. We will definitely go again!!

Sasha Anglin

Great little gem in Orillia! The owners are on-site, managing, working and greeting customers. Delicious food, excellent service; definitely recommend Orillia Bowl for a family outing!

Lucille D. Duern

It's a great time for family fun. The lanes seem to be warped causing frustration among the younger children

Hannah Family

Great place to spend a few hours with the entire family. Clean and modern facilities.

Sophia Cleaveley

This experience has horrible customer service and it’s so disrespectful to paying customers that are making there pay check ! I had called and asked how much it cost and I said “ is it more expensive the more people you have” and the disrespect the girl had on the other side of the phone was crazy !! She just said “bowl in Barrie then” and hung up I personally will never go here again nor will I recommend it. It was so bad I wanted to give them a zero but that’s not possible so I gave them a 1

John L

The owners are not pleasant which makes for a not so enjoyable outing.

Joel Lees

A family owned bowling alley that I've gone to several times with friends. We've always had a great time, and the service is top notch. Highly recommend.

Jeff M

Nice place, friendly staff and it's bowling! They also have cosmic. Recommend.

kmarks986

If you want terrible customer service, burnt food that they get upset at when you take it back and the owner yelling at you, then this is the place to go.

Jim Lemke

Good facilities with reasonable pandemic precautions in place - masks, dividing areas. Entrance stairs make it difficult for handicapped. We will return.

B Sheldon

So much better now that new owners have taken over. Years ago, when we had my son's birthday party at Rainbow lanes (old name) we experience some of the worst customer service. We just had my son's 9th birthday party and it was awesome. The have glow in the dark bowling, they've spent a lot of time and money fixing the place and they have excellent customer service. I wouldn't hesitate to have another birthday party there.

Jessica Hawke

Staff are extremely rude. Do not recommend. Better off going to Barrie.

mo rbrts

Love it.

Zachary Corsetti

Good place to bring your family.

Greg Squire

Great place! Fun family environment! Great staff, owners are great! Highly recommend!

deborah strength

So much fun with the family

Meaghan Xx

Great for children's birthday parties

Lisa Pilato

I went bowling with my brother Danny from Orillia and it was a great bowling experience. The owner and staff were very friendly, the fresh baked pastries were delicious and the lanes were in great shape. Thank you. I’ll be back????

C H

Nothing wrong with the place. Just no 10 pin available.

Joseph

Don't try and bring an outside drink in or else they will tell you to put it away. When I asked why they said because they would not know if it had booze in it, which is ridiculous. They just want you to buy their marked up stuff. I'm still paying for the bowling. So while the bowling itself is enjoyable I won't be going again. Plenty of establishments allow you to bring in an outside drink.

Terry Hand

Cool place

Sarah Johnstone

It's okay for a place to take my daughter bowling when there is nothing else to do or on a rainy day. I don't like the prices. It's pay by the hour as opposed to most bowling places I've been to in bigger cities where you pay by the game. Also the bowling balls are all one size and very tiny. It's only 5 pin bowling. They don't have the sides that come up for kids to stop gutter balls.

Andrew Martin

Awesome place to bowl.

Kim Price

Really great atmosphere and staff,

Andrew Webber

Super fun. I wish they had ten pin!

Christine Goddard

Great family activity. Friendly. Clean.

Jacki Crawford

Super clean and friendly staff!! Great place to go!! Make sure to wear some neon for the glow in the dark lights!

Patrick Richardson

Great family fun. Food can be inconsistent.

Chuck Middleton

Great place with super staff.

Michele Meier

Clean and well kept - we had lots fun. Great for kids and families!

Sean Oschefski

Place is way too expensive for an hrs play. If they lowered the price it would be probably packed all the time. Staff was very rude. It's way better then Rainbow Lanes we had but still needs improvement. If you want Glow In The Dark Bowling I suggest you go to Barrie. Way Better.

Josh Storry

Had a lot of fun there. Glow in the dark. Took my wife and son there and got my butt whooped by my son. Fun atmosphere for all ages.

Sharon Groves

Called for information about bowling could not hear well, customers services not pleasant and the man who answered was like he didn't have time to answer questions.If timing, staff is a issue please at least be pleasant and post on web site for all the hours of league ,regular, bowling and glow in the dark.Having family rates or children rates would be helpful for first time bowlers and would promote this sport...Just saying this would be good business..Have a nice day.
