Went on a Monday night Was great Friendly staff really good wings Most definitely will go back with more friends





Great place to bowl, has glow in the dark decor which was pretty cool!















Pricing was reasonable, game was fun, fries were so good! We had a great time:)










Neat little place for little kids party. They are very strict with party times. They only give you 2 hours and when 10 minutes are left they come to remind you. The young lady said to me that this is my 10 minutes warning to clear the pay room. I told her that we are on schedule and that would be no problem. I then told them that the word "warning" was not appropriate they should instead say 10 minutes reminder, because it sounds better. I was not offended but I thought I should point that out to them . Very nice place for kids party. Lots of fun for them.





A super clean bowling alley with 5 or 10 pin options. Staff is very friendly bathrooms are clean, five pin bowling is super fun as it’s the first time I’ve ever played it. Highly recommend if in the area since there’s not a lot going on in Barrie. are staying at a local ski resort and the rain sent us looking for family fun options. About a 15 minute drive from horseshoe










Lots of fun










Don't bother going if your child has a doctor's note and valid health concerns that are exacerbated by wearing a mask. Tom "doesn't care" and we were removed from the establishment. Notwithstanding, we were the only bowlers there. "The Human Rights Code explicitly prohibits discrimination based on a disability, and it is likely that most conditions preventing someone from wearing a mask would be considered disabilities by the law. The Ontario Human Rights Commission has taken the position that someone who cannot wear a mask must be accommodated up to the point of undue hardship, and cannot be denied service completely."















Ok place to go bowling, and probably one of the two places keeping the mall alive.










I tried to book a Lane ahead of time but the website kept crashing. So we went to see if we could bowl and though there seemed to be many open lanes. The guy at the counter told me we couldn't bowl and they were full and I shouldn't just show up there. He was very rude and I had 4 young boys with me.





I love this place staff is super friendly and helpful





A wonderful way to spend an afternoon or evening! Friendly staff and clean, well kept space!










Great experience, great service, clean establishment





Usually really lit ????????





Over $100 for 5 people to bowl two games (plus food and drinks)...very expensive!!! There were plenty of lanes open yet we were side by side with other large groups. Some rude staff. Bad experience. Won't go back.





We just had a work fun night here. They were well-organized and the place was clean. Food service was prompt, the food was hot and the pizza was very tasty. All in all an excellent experience.





Nice place to Bowl.










Friendly staff, wonderful lanes, great glow-in-the-dark effects. I had to use the “reset lane” button often as the computer system is out of date. The whole place is very clean.















Me and my buddy went bowling and our lane had some troubles but it was handled super fast and they had us bowling again in no time.










I had a good time with our league





Had a great time with family and friends. It was great to see lots of people out enjoying a Saturday night. The staff and facility were great, I’d definitely recommend Bowlerama Barrie.










We had a lot of fun! You have to wear a mask and they put people on every other lane to keep people spread out. Friendly service, good music, and reasonably priced.




















This place is actually not bad at all. They have a decent arcade with a few pool tables on top of all the bowling lanes.





Loved it. Prices were fair and the place was clean and the bar had a good selection of coolers





Excellent















Great staff, and food. They have a good number of 5 and 10 pin lanes. Leagues are well organized and have great selection of times and dates. Some of the equipment can be temperamental at times but normally there are no issuse.



































Decent





Great place to bowl with friends





Nice place. Pricing is normal for this style of place





Worse experience visiting here. Nobody was on the doors to greet (Although they say to wait to get checked for vaccinated). Went inside looking for someone and luckily there was one employee Tom (Calls himself Manager) didnt know how to check vaccination card and refused us to do bowlimg. I mean if you dont know how to check vaccination cards and talk to customer nicely whats the points of being Manager. Wont recommend anyone to here to just waste your precious time.





They are so nice to everyone





Fun place , clean and friendly staff










Had a blast..Great atmosphere





very fun and kind people. They always help were they can. the food bar they have in their has a great menu for where it sits. I've always been served with a smile.





Rude staff, harassed me to put mask while I was eating will never come this place again





They updated the tvs recently which is good.





Last Wednesday





Great place to hangout with friends on a rainy day. Or all winter for that mater. Good party food available, liquor license and lots of space to enjoy your bowl time.










I was at bowling Rama today in barrie Ontario





Great little spot. Gets busy on prime time hours. Good bowling, good service, pool available, arcade machines as well and serves alcohol and beer.





Good service and lots of fun





Fun time










Everyone is always fantastic here. Good prices.





Fun bowling. More technical problems than other places but still a great time.





Great environment and not very busy. Grest place to bring your family!















A great place to bowl family-friendly great staff





We didn't even finish our game because our daughter accidentally dropped a ball on her finger, but that wasn't the fault of Bowlerama. The staff here were great and this was a nice, clean bowling alley. I would definitely recommend it for either 10 pin or 5 pin. If the staff happen to see this, thank you for your help with my daughter. She is fine and her finger is fine.















Lots of fun for everyone. ????





Great place for groups to have fun.




















Nice place.. for enjoyment










First time here, the place is clean and big we ordered pizza and it was good. I would come back again .










Super times at Bowlerama Barrie. Late review I know just thought I'll lift your spirits! I'll be back when you open again!





Great food & cheap drinks . Great place to bowl or play games in the arcade





Reasonable prices, clean shoes, LLBO & great service. The place is packed on the weekends so be sure to make a reservation especially for 5 pin.





Great time with family. Bowling is still great fun.










Great place for pool and for bowling. Overall friendly atmosphere and staff





Good place for fun with kids





Vary traditional Bowlerama place, hard to find any more in towns.










When did bowling become so expensive? Still had a lot of fun with the family.





Thought ???? can play for relaxing but the price for here is getting frustrated ????










This is a great place to bring the family for a fun day, afternoon or evening. Also great choice for Date nite




















Cheaper than most birthday venues anywhere .. Staff does a friendly job. Place was clean lots. Of room. We really enjoyed ourselves





Amazing experience first time





Good place to hang out and go bowling





Great staff!





Really expensive!! The food was also really expensive and not even good! Fries were meh, chicken fingers sucked... Was definitely not worth the amount we spent. Bathrooms were gross. People were nice though.





Lots of fun




















Late night fun still exists in Barrie!





What a fun time!! Such a cool atmosphere















Cool and colourful place to bowl, cheap fun for a decent sized group the bowling shoe rental is incredibly fair. They serve drinks and food which is very convenient. And theres a sweet little arcade. Probably good for birthday parties been there forever.





Great place. All you can bowl on Sunday nights is a great deal.





Fun for all















It was nice here

























The staff was very helpful when my toddler daughter fell and crushed her finger under a 5 pin ball she was carrying. The team at the bowling alley was very understanding and lots of help getting us out of there fast and safely. I also noticed as we were leaving they responded very fast to getting the blood cleaned up properly with gloves and proper equipment. They seemed to have great proper training to deal with such a situation that doesn't probably come up too often there. She was wearing proper bowling shoes just got too excited, slipped and caught her finger just the wrong way. One trip to emerge and one stitch later she is doing fine. Many thanks, Mandi




















Relaxed atmosphere, quick service, and good snacks. There are some more substantial meals as well if you'd like. The hardware for the pins is occasionally faulty, but employees will be quick to help you out.





Used to be a fun place to go, but the prices to bowl have gone too high, and the place isn't as clean as it used to be. $60.00 for an hour and 20 minutes, plus the shoes? Come on, this is gouging plain and simple. Also, there are always issues with the pool tables and gaming area. Not happy with how everything is broken, all the time.










Had a good time, location is nice and the owner boss man is good at making announcements kinda like a radio show host, beer avail which was awsome because who doesnt like bowling and beer ya know? Its a great combo. All in all i enjoyed my visit here for sure.





Only go if you have lot of free time to waste. Went there for bowling and Tom (calls himself the Manager) wasn’t really a friendly guys not sure what the reason behind him carrying wreck less attitude for not really caring about anyone.Don’t go here, chances are pretty that you will be refused entry without any reason.










Nice facility but make sure you have at least 4 people to share the cost... Pretty pricey if you plan on playing for a couple hours





Have only bowled here once, but my boyfriend and I come here to play billiards on a weekly basis. Staff is friendly, and the billiards tables are always open!















I was not there!










Always a good time. Especially when my throw is on my par















Nothing more delightful than the lovely gentleman behind the counter.




















This place is so much fun to visit and hang out! Food was fresh and yummy, service was friendly and the music wasn’t too loud! The whole location had the scrubbed look to it and everyone there seemed to be having a really great time!















Fun times! Great service, fair price.





Exactly what you expect from a bowling alley that has been around for decades. The lanes mess up from time to time, but that is easily overcome by doing a reset of that player's turn. The food is neither great nor terrible. The staff is friendly and the cleanliness is good.





Slowly getting updated





They have 10 pin bowling, reasonable prices, pool tables and some arcade games. Good variety of different ball sizes and weights. Def a good place to go with a group for an afternoon or evening. They also do leagues if you are into that





Great bowling alley with glow in the dark bowling at night. Great place for a function, family outing or just hanging with friends. There are also a couple pool tables there, beer/liquor as well. Been there for a couple kids parties as well as thrown my own company nights there as well and it was great. Burgers aren't bad either.










Been going there for a while, was surprised by them no longer accepting splitting bills by card should have a sign about it, but their reason why is understandable.





Friendly people fun to be had for all










Always love this place. Staff is amazing, helpful and friendly.





Lots of fun and the food is good. A licensed bar is on the premises





Family fun, good atmosphere, reasonable price with per minute charge.



































I went bowling on a busy Saturday night. The staff were really nice and accommodating and got our party of 4 a lane earlier than anticipated considering how busy it was. The lane we got was clean and everything worked as expected. We stayed for about 2 hours and played 3 games of 5 pin. It was really fun and others around seemed to be enjoying themselves quite a lot as well. The price was fairly reasonable if you split the cost of the lane between the party. The only reason I gave a 4/5 is because the whole experience felt very dated. It seems to not have changed at all since I last went in the 90's. This can be nostalgic for some but for me it shows a lack of investment to stay current. All in all I had a great time out with our party and would definitely go back to have a fun few hours with some friends. Maybe next time I'll try some of their food/drinks.





I put together a birthday party here for my son. I was very pleased with the hostess (Courtney), she did everything perfectly and was always around lending a helping hand. I was very impressed by the whole experience.




















Fun time had by all. Helpful staff when needed





Had a great time, staff was accomodating and friendly, afforadable finger food and drinks family friendly athmosphere




















Great place for family fun. Had an awesome time with the kids.





Good place for entainment wise





A nice bowling alley with good staff. Not enough tables to sit at and not enough 5 pin alleys, especially being in Canada and being the only facility in Barrie.





Very nice place very accommodating for special needs adults as well!!!





After school special its great




















Very large..clean..glow in the dark..friendly staff





We visited Bowlerama Barrie last weekend while in the area and we have nothing but good things to say about the staff and the establishment. Staff was pleasant, welcoming, and very quick to come over and fix any minor problems we had on the lanes. Very reasonable pricing and the hourly rates make it easy to plan how long you'd like to bowl. Managed to squeeze in 6 games each with 2 bowlers (5-pin and 10-pin), without feeling like we were rushed at all. We will certainly be returning to Bowlerama Barrie next time we are in town, and we'll be recommending this place to others.










Always a fun place to hang out with friends





Best alley in Barrie















Don’t waste time planning of going here. Definitely Tom is the not the person to talk.. He is very rude when talk to customer and don’t really care. I wish there was option for zero star..

























Good place





Nice place to bring the family















Very welcoming and nostalgic. Fun for the whole family.





Says nothing about being closed for league night on Wed. On the website. Manager was non too apologetic turning our 16yr old bday party away. Recommend you go to a friendlier establishment.... Coldwater or Orillia.





Great place to take friends or family.





it was great















Fun and easy going place to relax and enjoy being an adult!










Fun place. They serve beer and food is good. They also have pool tables, air hockey and a few arcade games. It's quite pricey to have a good time there though.





Fun times





No problem with the service or location, I am just not sure I like bowling. The computers were quite dated and we did have some problems with the auto score keeper.





I liked it, enjoyed my time.










All staff are friendly.its good for the family for their bonding.





Little expensive but fun place for a quick game of pool















Clean and family friendly





Lots of fun for family or adults. Staff is great and always accommodating.





Bad & poor services, they don’t know how to communicate with their customers. I can’t even give him .5 stars review





was alot of fun dont go often




















Now reopened! My kid goes crazy during cosmic bowling, good times for all. Bring the family.





Always have a great time there










It’s a good place to have some fun with your friends. Staff are nice, prices are reasonable. Their opening hours are pretty convenient.





Decent place for a kids birthday. Fairly priced





One of the most amazing bowling places to go to!! You can book birthday parts here there's a mini arcade area for your kids to go and play. There is glow and dance lights for big parties. You can also get into bowling teams and compete your way to the top of the leader boards!! Get your family and friends and come have some fun!!! Best place ever!!!





I love it.. I had so much fun in here. I had never played bowling but I learned and I fun a lot...





Awesome place to visit with small children too. We brought our 4 year old doe five pin ball. They have side rail. The ball doesn't fall in, so made our toddler enjoy the game too





A little price y





Really cool place to relax with friends and family.




















Fantastic place to take friends and family















Expensive money for shoes rent. Try to give back and nominal charges for she's rent. Otherwise good for spending time. NO TRAINERS.















It's okay, good environment for family.





Amazing for family





Got kicked out for going outside to have a cigarette. 1 out of 10 recommended





I love bowling there because it's fun.















Always a fun time, beer and food available.





Good value bowling with friendly staff and a large number of available lanes. Washroom facilities can be less than stellar, but they have a nice little arcade with a couple of pool tables and a pinball machine, which is a nice touch.





Always a blast every time I go ????





I love this place! So happy it has lasted this long. Always a really layed back environment, Food is a little pricy but it's worth it. And the staff are always friendly and professional. Also love how it still has that 90s strip mall feel to it.





Lots of lanes. Bright and clean. Helpful staff.





Fun times, fair pricing





Not good enough















Good people that own it! Good staff too!










48 and first time bowling, #awesome





Always a great time..... Customer Service is great...





Loved this place! So fun????










We love their New Years events. So much fun.










Have gone twice with my wife and both times they said they had no lanes available. Both times we were there before 8pm and were told that we'd have to wait till midnight. Both times there were at least 4 lanes empty. When asked they said the lanes were reserved. I suggest maybe stating on the website that reservations are required or at least tell ppl that show up that they should reserve. That way they don't try coming back without a reservation. Staff just seemed that they didn't care.

























It's old, it's dated, it doesn't smell good, but it's a bowling alley. Guess that's like most bowling alleys. They offer cosmic bowling at specific times.










Beautiful bowling alley, friendly staff only reason rate is low . I wish they would change wax for five pin bowling my purple ball is completely white after bowling their and takes 2 weeks to have grip again. And has always been a problem other bowlers have the same issue.










Good place to have fun with family or friends.





Full of drunk aggresive imbeciles, stay away.










Always love comming here. Clean, friendly staff, great snacks










Well nice clean place. Shoes fit but it didn't help my game. Did have lots of fun though.





Friendly staff. Clean. Good prices.





Haven't bowled in ages, was fun night out! Good covid protocols, crazy lighting.






























Was fun










Fun place to go. But it's a bit outdated. Still had fun!










Good place for a quick round of bowling, the arcade section isn't really appealing for adults. Would be nice if there were pool tables there. Other then that the staff are nice and prices are fair.










We go to Bowlerama quite often. The place is nice and the price is decent. We always have fun at this place,





Love this place brings me back to my childhood





Had my daughters birthday party here today Saturday feb 24 @130, the place was crowded but super clean. The men at the shoe counter were very helpful and friendly and patient while we were trying to figure out all the kids sizes. Our party host (I sadly forget her name) but she was very sweet and helpful. Made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. The price was also amazing!





Fun place to take the kids, little pricy but have not been bowling for many years, might be the going rate





So thrilled for the safety precautions this establishment are taking! I was here three days ago, and watched a young lady sit with her mask around her chin, long after eating or drinking. An employee went over to remind her to fix her mask, and when she noticed the employee, she placed her mask back on but became belligerent towards the employee, and shouting at him when he was only doing his job, and considering the safety of his other patrons! I want to commend that gentleman for his professionalism and patience. Especially when having to deal with a self entitled member of the public! Thank you for ensuring my family’s health and safety while in your establishment, and also the health and safety of your hard working colleagues! Hats off to you! And masks ON ????????










Bowled 237















Great place to bring the family. Even if you don't like bowling, they have an arcade and a bar!





Family friendly environment










Had a great night out with friends. Staff was friendly and helpful!





Great place to eat and entertainment fun





Very poor customer service. Especially the so called manager who was there at that time have no etiquettes how to respond to customers.





Best bowling alley in Barrie!





mediocre bowling place, outdated





Always have fun here. Prices are fair and staff are friendly.















We enjoyed our time here. Very clean and lots of lanes to accommodate larger parties as well. Lots of people were there but everyone kept to themselves we all had fun. Drinks were poured quickly so no downtime for playing!





Awesome ambience service.. Memorable..!!










Always fun at this place





walked in, gave them a piece of my mind about the choice to discriminate against any human for choices they choose to make with thier own health and body. I will NEVER EVER come back even once things change. I will remember this forever. I will go spend my money with my family and anyone I know at places that don't discriminate. I highly suggest others do the same.





Great fun, kid / family friendly. Priced well and lots of positive memories.










Nice facility





Very nice place





Good place for birthday parties





Great times





Fun for all ages





Great place to go bowling and have some fun with the kids and bowlerama all so has video games





1 star got kicked for being an absolute alpha.





A bit expensive but fun overall










Tons of fun. My daughter had a great time, although you may want to book earlier if you don't want ten pin. Its a very heavy ball for younger kids and teens as well. They are good about protecting everyone requiring double vaccination before being allowed to play. Makes good sense.















Great customer service





So much fun and the staff are great










When we finally got a lane because we reserved...the place wasn't bad. Fun night out just a touch on the expensive side.






























Disagree





Pay by the minute. It was clean and our family had fun















Large facilities with many lanes and options. Canteen there for food and drinks, friendly staff. Had a great time.















Great place to bowl.always very clean.and staff very friendly





I have been to a lot of things during covid and never have a met a place like this. Gyms, bars whatever nothing was as rude as this place. The owner has no appreciation for the people who are out fighting to keep businesses like this alive. All that said I will not be back. I was super out of breath bowling with my mask on and no one around. All to be embarrassed and disrespected in front of everyone because I lower for mask for a quick breath.





Great place nice staff





Great place for some fun. Gentlemen working there were great. Fast and friendly service. Thank you!





Lots of fun





Great place to bowl had a great time










Fun bowling. They are doing the best they can with only 50 people in at a time.















Great bowling alley, plenty of lanes.










Fun place to spend time with friends and family. Lots of food to choose from. Great employees, however, pool has been removed for unknown reasons. Also, the bowling lanes are quite confined. Cosmic bowling is cool, though. Quite expensive as well.





Great place lots of fun










It's fun





Helpful staff. Clean, well maintained lanes (as far as I can tell as a very amateur bowler). Always a fun time.





So annoyed with this place tonight. We had 2 lanes and 12 people. Each lane was $32 plus tax, total was $71. I asked to divide $71 by 12 people so that each family could then pay per person (so my family of 4 would owe $24) and they refused to allow us to do so resulting in confusion and frustration with the payments. Also when I reserved, I was never told that it wouldn't be glow in the dark because there was a league party. And finally....one of the lanes broke down and that group didn't get to finish their game. Not coming back here any time soon.










Some friends and I wanted to go bowling so we looked on the website and decided on the Barrie Bowlerama. It didn't seem like it would be too busy on a Thursday night, and nothing was posted on their website suggesting otherwise. We showed up around 6:45pm and we were told we wouldn't be given a lane until 10:00pm!! The place was nearly empty but apparently it was "league night", and we still couldn't get even one lane. Do not go here. Not worth it. I've never been to an alley that closes every single lane. That's simply not a good business practise. They've lost a customer.















Lots of lanes. Always a fun place to bowl.










Not a bad place to kill a few hours





Nice spot for a quick game. Good staff and service!















Overpriced everything, finding a ball that fit my fingers was a challenge and when I finally found one it was super heavy















Friendly and helpful





Spontaneous night out bowling with the kids. Few quirks that went wrong with equipment etc. Manager and staff did their best to deal with it. Made it all good. Good job folks. Had a good time and will be back. Thank you.





We went bowling for my grandson's 8th birthday. This place is good fo kids and adults to enjoy themselves.





Fun place for to go. Price is right. And has pool area as well










Lots of fun had no problems





I like watching my friends bowl










Staff continue to be friendly and accommodating each time we are here. A fun day out with the family.

























Clean and good service





Fun place


















































Friendly staff, had lots of fun!















It's a fun place to be but it is in need of renovations.





Lots of fun....very pricey

























Absolutely terrible service! They had malfunctioning lanes which were not fixed and we still had to pay for. Then when we wanted to go into the arcade area to play DDR we were refused entry because it was apparently a 19+ area even though a family with children was there playing pool... I really hope the owner takes a second look at the staff they hire. I will never return to this location nor would I recommend it to anyone.





Good place to enjoy with kids, family and friends





terrible service, lanes breaking down often. over charged us.










Good atmosphere. Clean. Price is fair.





Friendly staff, had a great time





I love all of you





Food wasn't anything special. Gaming area wasn't really anything special either





Great place, good food.






























Great place! The 10 pin youth bowling league is amazing! Great way to make new friends and learn a new sport.



































The perfect place to gave some fun and laughs















Kids had fun. Food iffy. My son's stomach did not agree with the burger.















A great birthday day










My boyfriend and I went to Bowlerama on a Friday night to use the Pool tables which are scheduled to be open til Midnight. We took a cab cause of course we were had a few drinks prior and when we got there around 8:30 it was roped off. We went to the ladies behind the front counter who said it was closed early for cleaning. I asked what cleaning needed to be done as it looked spotless already, the said they had to mop the floors. Okay can we go in for a hour at least I asked but they rudely said no. It takes you over 3 hours to mop a floor?! I asked if we could wait they said the floor would be wet so we couldn't go in. I asked to speak to a manager about it cause we just came all this way and they said he was bowling so I couldn't speak with anyone and the other manager was in the mall somewhere. We were going to wait til the manager came back but out of spite they brought out the mop bucket and started that second. They have horrible customer service and we wasted over $30 in transit. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!





Bit pricy





Overall a decent bowling alley, unless your a league bowler who wants to practice during the day. The manager refuses to oil lanes so going there to practice is a waste of time. Don't understand why they refuse to work with their customers and not make money which seems like the point off having a business.
