dover bowl family fun center

Our first time here with friends and enjoyed our afternoon! Great set up inside, lots of lanes and a better than average overall bowling lane environment! Cheerful and obviously some work had been done inside. A section for laser tag and arcade with a newer scoring system in place which made it all very easy. This meant more time bowling and enjoying the company of friends. Will come back again for sure! A little pricey but we don't go often and the place was very welcoming and friendly!

We went on a weeknight, and the place was packed out with league players. The service was friendly at the rental counter, and at the restaurant. We bowled for an hour, and the scoring system was a modern version that worked great.The location has an excellent arcade with many new games, but most of them are the gambling type so not much fun for a family. The laser tag was a great setup, well worth the price. Also, the owner has recently invested in some bumper cars, maybe used for birthday parties.Some cons: when busy, it may be hard to find a house ball in the size you need. Shoes and lanes were old, lanes in need of a tune up. The food quality was poor and expensive, typical of a bowling joint. An average beer selection with mostly domestic drafts and a couple of locals.

They've done a great job remodeling this facility. It is bright and colorful and there is a lot to do. They have laser tag, video games, a new fangled type of bumper cars in addition to the bowling. The food is okay - nothing special but fine. Kids seem to have a great time at the birthday parties, and parents like the convenience and ease.

Over priced food and activities, and at the end of the night I wanted to trade my money for some of the candy (witch you would have thought would be a normal or intelligent way of doing business) I offered twenty dollars, a nickel a ticket to buy the candy offered behind the ticket counter, because I didn't want to play the terrible games they had available. Not only was I talked down to for this concept, I was eventually kicked out for arguing about wanting to give them my money. The place is run by the people you would see in a stereotypical hillbilly movie, not understanding the concept of a monetary exchange for goods. In a town with nothing to offer for activities this is not a worthy outlet for boredom.

Fun place they have regular bowling and small ball bowling with the sides that come up so there are no gutter balls. This is great for the young kids! Your there to have fun but if the ball keeps going in the gutter the little ones would loss interest fast. Okay food and a game room too. Great graphics on the score boards. Had a great time

When moonlight bowling and had a great time. Liked and music and lights. Be sure to reserve a lane ahead of time. It's a pretty busy place.

We have enjoyed bowling at Dover Bowl in the past but we really love the changes that they made in the last year. They have upgrade their bowling lanes, added laser tag, upgraded their arcade, and most recently added bumper cars. The removed a few of the candlepin lanes to make room for the bumper cars and the game machines can be a little quirky at times, but overall the changes are great. I love that there are automatic bowler specific bumpers and that the games are now ticketless with the new game cards, much more eco friendly!

Went on a friday night for bowling found out the added lazer tag and redid there arcade. They did an amazeing job on them. I used to go to Raider lazer all the time but the area it was in was out of the way from any thing eles. in side dover bowl makes the place so much better. My favert place to go bowling around the seacoast.

This place is great for kids (and has a lot for adults too). "Big balls" as my kids say, or 10 pin bowling on one side; candlepin on the other. Then, there is an arcade complete with a prize counter for the kids and a bar for the adults. And even a little sweetshop tucked in between. They have Rock n' Bowl for teens and up that is one price for about 3 hours of bowling and they turn the lights off, put on the disco balls and blast the music. They have bumpers so your little ones can play without ever getting a gutter ball and I have gone on many occasions with different groups and never found a shoe size they couldn't accommodate.

The prices are not bad. Weekend specials are great if you can bowl for a while. Has your regular ten pin and candle pin bowling. Also as a decent size arcade.

This is a great place for anyone to go to have a nice time. There is bowling with both large balls and small. There is a children's arcade, and there is also a full bar in a separate room. The bar was surprisingly large and they offered free pool, which was very impressive. We did have a few issues with the lanes malfunctioning, but I still say this place is excellent. There are few "alternative" places to go in the area...so many bars and restaurants...it's nice to do something different.
