text: Arsenal Bowling Lanes is showing it's age to put it nicely. Seriously though the have carpet on the walls, who does that anymore?  The place was packed and still has a bit of antiqued charm. \n\nWere were at advantage,  on Sunday afternoons they have a bowling lunch special. \n.50 shoes, .50 sodas, .50 bowling games and .50 cent hotdogs.   \n\nThe cashier was a major sweetheart. Normally when I am traveling with a big party...I am made to feel rushed and unwelcome and like a big inconvenience. But the cashier really blew me away and didn't rush us.\n\n Getting 10 pairs of bowling shoes for mostly kids under 12 can present  a challenge.  \n\nWe hadn't finished our last games until 15 minutes after the special had ended  but the cashier still applied the discount to all of our games. \n\nHowever the  sodas were undrinkable, they were lightly sweetened seltzer water and were undrinkable. The hotdogs rather  then being grilled were actually boiled. I also found it  very unpleasant that Arsenal Lanes makes you pay for a book of matches. \n\nOverall my experience was good here because I was hosting my little sister's 12 birthday. We were a party of 10 but were made to feel comfortable and welcomed .\n\n.50 bowling shoes and .50 bowling can't be beat.
