Alley Cats Entertainment

After visiting another bowling alley in bedford, I love alley cats. It’s little this that add up such as a bumpers that retract for each player, tv screens to watch music videos or games, having the option to eat at at my lane and not behind it. I declined a summer pass for a cheaper price because of the other location not having these items. Wherever I am bowling a kid friendly and entertaining atmosphere is important. I found the Cats to meet this requirement. I will be back.

We celebrated our Baseball end of season party at Alley Cats and it was a huge success! The kids ramged im ages 6 to 8. Brianna was a huge help! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a venue to have a group party!

We were there for a teacher experience (our kids got to spend a few hrs with their teacher). The experience was not so great. The staff don’t talk, don’t smile, I asked for help at the bowling area and they helped the person behind me first, we had to wait another 15 minutes. Very rude. No apology at all. Teacher Experience was not what we were expecting there.

Their bowling is extremely expensive, and on top of that they charged us for shoes even though we told them we had our own. After we corrected them they refused to give us a refund but gave us a gift card instead. We won’t be coming back.

The staff could definitely use a personality check but if I worked here I wouldn’t take it seriously either.
The food is not the best but it’s what you would expect. Pricing is reasonable.
The Put-​Put and batting car are the best part.
The drinks are great and reasonably priced too.
Overall it’s a great place if you’re patient.

We really like Alley Cats for the Summer Bowling for Kids. With 2 free games each day, there is always something to do inside when it gets hot. Then, throughout the year, we love to play the video games and go putt putt next door. (The two places are under the same ownership.) The arcade games can be a bit expensive, but you can decide how much to spend when you buy the game card. We find that $ 10 is great and just enough play time after bowling. There is also a great laser tag arena, but we don’t use it much since the video games, bowling, and putt putt keep my kids entertained.
The bowling lanes are clean, actually the entire place is. The food tastes good (try the burgers, really juicy!) and the daily specials make the prices not so bad. The staff is friendly and attentive. We also signed up for the email list and got free gifts at Christmas that included free game cards and even pizza!

As far as an entertainment venue this place hits the mark. If your on a budget, you may want to drive another five minutes to AMF lane.
We payed close to $ 70 for an hour and half of bowling for 4, not including food and drink.
The chips and Queso were pretty good and the Curly fries were decent. It IS a neat place and probably worth the price when all is said and done

Just left after our date night. Went bowling and had the wings and curly fries. Everything was good as usual. Bowling seemed priced a little high, but we had lots of fun regardless.

Friendly staff that always treats us with respect. The bartender even remembers what we drink! Definitely feels like your neighborhood bowling alley and entertainment center.

FYI My review is only based on the bowling experience.
My family and I came in on a Sunday afternoon to go bowling. The place had a pretty good crowd but the bowling area wasn’t crowded at all. This is a great place to come with a children because of all the games and activities here. The bowling area was really nice. There are couches to relax on while you bowl and huge TVs that are right above the bowling alley that play sports and music videos while you bowl. The young lady that took our food and drink order was very polite and attentive.
The reason this place lost stars is on the technical issues with the actual bowling lane and the customer service in the bowling area. 1) Our bowling lane had a some kind of «bump» in lane that made the balls roll funny. Our bowling lane was seriously jacked up. 2) the pins would randomly fall down and be in the middle of the lane. 3) the TV/​machine would randomly skip people so they would either miss their turn or not get any points 4) our bowling lane completely stopped working for about 10 – 15 minutes. 5) because you pay by the hour, we were assured that we would receive more time for the time it took to fix our lane, however, we waited for like 10−15minutes to fix our lane but were only refunded 5 of those minutes. And finally, this place is a lot more expensive than other bowling alley’s I have been at, yet the bowling experience was significantly deteriorated by the lack of upkeep on the lanes. I would suggest going to a an actual bowling alley, it’ll be cheaper and a better experience.

Kids enjoy the place so it is a frequent destination for birthday parties. The glow in the dark bowling is cool. The party hosts are nice. The arcade selection is large but a lot of games are either broke or rated for 12+ yrs. The location is good the the place is kept surprisingly clean. I think it is a little over priced but then again I think most things are over priced. It is so much better than Chuck E Cheese and We will be back again.

It was fun but there was a long wait for bowling.

Super fun place! Nice bowling lanes, comfy couches, great selection of video/​arcade games. There’s rock climbing, lazer tag, putt putt, & batting cages. Something for everyone. Draft beer is pretty damn expensive ($ 6 & $ 7), but we still like coming here. Might want to pregame first ;) Also check out their summer programs for kids &
We signed our son up to bowl free all summer long and it was only $ 20 to add the both of us to that (one time fee, you just pay for shoe rentals). Best bowling place I’ve been to!

Great place to come for bowling, laser tag, golfing, batting, and putt putting. Food is OK for venue like this. its not the best. You might want to eat before you come if you are really hungry. Came for a social event with my work team.

Good place for great family fun. Nice lanes with huge screens and pleather couches, long tables for dining.
1^st timer — I love that each bowling ball is labeled with the finger size, along with weight of course. It makes finding the right ball a breeze — no more wasting time trying every ball on for size. Neat, and organized well. A place for everything… Let’s me get right to the game.
Lots of tables in the middle for dining and /​or relaxing. Great viewpoint from the center dining area (think mall food court), which allows for easy watching of the bowling, arcade, and bar areas. Haven’t tried laser tag yet… In a few minutes.
Update; 1^st time playing laser tag was so much fun. Adults and kids, alike, ran, screamed, and had a ball. We went with bowling and laser tag coupons. Would go again even if full price.
One last thing — we loved the funnel cake that we purchased on the way out to the car. Nice sweet way to end our ‘fun day’.

They have a good selection of entertainment, from bowling to laser tag. The bowling shoes are pretty cheap on Tuesdays, like $ 2. They also sell food and ice cream and drinks and such.

Enjoyable bowling alley. Basic bowling equipment but where it shines is it’s arcade and laser tag area. Also like that they have a decent selection of stuff to drink at the bar. Overall good experience but prepared to deal with kids and don’t expect world class bowling equipment.

Bowling was a lot of fun. Food wasn’t the best but you are served while you play which is great. Kinda expensive. Putt putt golf was really boring. All the holes were straight shots. Every course seemed the same. Not worth the money. Great place for kids. A lot of different things for them to do. Adults I would recommend the bowling.

4 star for fun, 1 star for the gift certificate runaround = 2 stars!
Laser tag was super fun but HOT DAMN redeeming a Groupon for this place is a pain in the arse. The conversion from Groupon to gift card was easy but converting the gift card to game credits or laser tag credits was a PAIN! All the employees gave me the runaround saying their gift card machine was down so I would play musical chairs with the bowling counter, Game counter, and Laser tag booth. After going to each counter atleast twice, someone finally gave in and helped me and Paul H. out.
Once we got everything we needed to play laser tag including paying for our turn, we told to come back at in 13 mins (9:25-ish). We can back and were told it would be another 10 – 15 minutes. We were also asked whether we have paid (WTF), they seriously need a better system here. After coming back for the 4^th time, it was finally time to play! YEY!
It was basically awesome from that point on. The laser tag equipment was well maintained and everything was working. i thought that was really good.
The gaming selection was ok. I’ve seen better. This is definitely the place for bowling and laser tagging. I would recommend going here WITHOUT a Groupon/​gift certificate. Just come here during specials or with a coupon– it’ll be SOO much easier for you :)

Overall: 2.5 stars
Service: ²⁄₅
–Service was okay overall. We had a Groupon voucher and received a gift card of $ 50. First we wanted to laser tag but the guy at the laser tag counter told us to get a value card near the bowling counter. We walk over to the bowling counter told us to go to the laser tag counter.
–Since we had to wait for the next laser tag round, we decided to play some arcade games. We had to convert the gift card into a value card. We went to the bowling counter and were told to go to the glass counter. The glass counter told us to go to the front counter near the entrance.
–Overall you can see this running around can be annoying and it was.
Activities: ³⁄₅
–Laser tag was fun. There are enough vests/​guns for a 10v10 match. The layout has 2 levels but I couldn’t imagine 20 people in there. I played with a total of 10 and felt that was the perfect number of people.
–Not much selection for arcade.
–Expensive bowling: $ 17.99 per hour.
–I liked how they have domokun toys as prizes (100 tickets per domokun). There are a total of 8 so if you want the whole collection, that’s 800 tickets.
Decent but I’ve experienced better.
