This was amazing. So much fun, very neat and tidy. Awesome bowling balls, big pool balls. Will definately be back!!!
It was fine for a team event!
Dont go here!! It may say its open on the internet, but in actual fact its closed! My friends and I went there, but when we got there it was completely closed and a mall guard said it had been closed for months now!! Im disappointed that they still proclaim on the internet that theyre open!
Lets go bowling is in my opinion a rather fun away to have a social evening with a group of friends or even a great way to do a bit of team building with work colleagues. What to me was the highlight is that I could bowl in my own shoes and not have to wear shoes worn by a multitude of people before me. Refreshments are on sale, the environment is lively, great upbeat music and all round fun is guaranteed. At R 50 per game its truly good value for money, great fun for family outings as well.
Whoever operates this place takes little pride in keeping the place clean and functional. It is generally really run down and equipment is old as heck. Staff are not well trained and lack any enthusiasm. This could be a great place if managed properly.
The place was closed four hours before the indicated time on their website. Disappointing!
We went on a Saturday morning during school holidays and we didnt have a booking. They were fully booked but the lady made a plan for us to play. There were a few technical difficulties and we kept on having to ask for help. It also seems like theres only one person there to do everything. Otherwise a good experience!
I love bowling, so its always great however, I wish the staff members were more friendly and willing to help as the machines tend to get stuck often. So if you are the type who seeks friendly efficient service? This isnt the place for you yet if you enjoy bowling as much as I do, youll bite through that experience to enjoy the next hour or two.
Staff great atmosphere great equipment could do with an upgrade balls keep getting stuck
Its closed down
This is a great place to chill with a group of friends. I just wish they would finish renovating already. Last time I went there, in August, a guy was hiding behind those nets waiting to rob us but stopped when he saw another group of people coming in behind us. I dont even know if he had any weapons but I was quite freaked out because I was with my 2yr old son.
Affordable EVERYTHING! Bowling is cheap, drinks are not too badly priced as well as snacks and food. Its also real close to the games arcade, so bring ya kids or just go out with ya friends. Its a fun experience.
Good budget family fun but the place is a bit run down. Its very relaxed, and quite empty at the times we have been. Theres no shoe hire so you can wear your outdoor shoes.No score card print out at the end, just whats on the screen.
Perhaps it will be awesome once all the work is completed at stadium on main. Bowling was great though.
Had so much fun the past weekend was perfect for the size of our group, Area available to purchase drinks, Air conditioning wasnt too great but still overall a fun experience :)
Its okay. The mall that this bowling alley is in, is still under construction, so theres a weird smell. The bowling alley itself is fine, but you dont get bowling shoes, so you have to take comfy shoes yourself.
Awesome place to entertain both kids and adults. Ten pin bowling as well as a games arcade. Kiddies parties can be hosted at ten pin bowling as well. Something different to do with the kids
Oooh loved .... had an awesome time... though my shoulders was sore afterwards🤪🤣... the group of people you go with makes it even more AWESOME!!!... reason for my 4 stars... how do u close your shop (chips, drinks, chocolates , etc) when you have a place packed with people.. had to go over to Cavendish just to buy beverages... but besides that, I had a great time
Pleasant staff, but in general the place seems a little run down. Can be luck of the draw whether you get good service or not. The management just dont really seem to be interested in actually running this establishment. Pity because it is fun and ideal for groups.
Team building time. Good fun but the facility definitely in need of upgrading. Hopefully its next after the rest of the building is complete
If you want to have fun, go bowling! Take you children, friends and family. Lots of fun!
I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. Although the lanes are a little tired it was great fun and the removable lane barriers ensure that the little ones have a more enjoyable experience than would usually be the case. There is a bar and smoking area and a games arcade and short mini golf course to round out the experience. The food is extremely reasonable and surprisingly good for the price.
The place is still under construction so its not easy to find the place for your first time. Bowling was fun. They also have a bar with a pool table, mini golf and little fast food place. I think if the place was not under construction I was going to enjoy it more. But it took us 15 minutes to find the place. For first impression thats not impressive.
First time bowling experience for me, it was enjoyable especially because I won .. 🤭
The price to bowl is great - only R40! The place hasnt been upgraded or modified since I was a child though and really is getting a bit grimey. Still a fun experience however.
The rate of malfunctioning pin loads could seriously be improved on. Otherwise it is a fun place for a group activity
Fun was had by all, kids and adults alike. Good value for money. There are many shops in the surrounding area to visit while the kids are have fun. Thats if bowling is not your thing.
Could use some updating of the decor, its old and faded. The lady behind the counter needs to learn social skills. Otherwise, a very fun place to spend a few hours with friends
I really want to give 5 stars, the bowling was awesome and loads of fun. Unfortunately with the construction work in the mall, the drilling and Jack hammers made things a little unpleasant, but this too shall pass. The lost star was due to the coffee machine being out of order and none of the shops upstairs had coffee, or had no beans, such a shame really
I grew up coming to S.O.M and this is still one of my favorite hang outs .The upgrades and renos have made this quite the interesting place to come to once again .Very nicely put together .WD! guys check it out if your in the area .
Good for relaxation with family or friends. Bond together over a game of bowling or hockey. Also food to eat when hunger comes
Called in with an enquiry and spoke to Wendy, as prior review mentioned, she was friendly and helpful - thank you.
Fun for couples and groups. Their bowling machines need repairs, we had to move lanes 3 times. However on the ball staff and a real fun and safe hang out.
Good fun, when the lanes work! Scary place to go with all the construction going on - you literally are walking on a construction site to get to the venue. Went twice, each time lanes were faulty.
Nice upgrade but staff unfriendly and unhelpful. One lady working who hardly greeted or smiled. No one to assist. Most of the staff were playing pool. Eventually a cleaning lady assisted us.
What a disappointment! It seemed like a reasonably priced holiday/ potential party venue, however, broken equipment, shockingly defensive customer service means I will not return unless staff are retrained in dealing with customers and service delivery.
Had a lot of fun their 😆😁if you really dont have any ideas for your first date you should try itI can give them a ♥️
The service is absolutely shocking. When we arrived the woman at the counter was grumpy and had no intentions of assisting us. The equipment was broken, we had to fix the rails ourselves twice. The cost was R50 pp. Although the decor is nice and gives off a good vibe I dont think I will be going back anytime soon.
Spent a few hours playing indoor put-put with my kids, really great for family fun with good pop corn.
Great place for family. Thabi and her team were just incredible! So friendly and helpful
Nice place to go as a group. Good fun
Whole building is being renovated, big mess. Bowling alley bit rundown. Needs TLC. Try again in 6 months
My first time and I had 69 points. They are renovating the place but it is still fun with friends.
I just want to commend Wendy from lets, go bowling Claremont on her outstanding customer service. We were hosting a kids, birthday party and due to rain had to change the venue last minute. We called the lets go bowling in Centurion no answer as their lines, have been down since Thursday (we discovered ) so we took a, chance and called the branch in Claremont to get an alternative no for Centurion. Wendy answered our call suggested that she call the owner of the Centurion Tshwane and sort it out and get the owner to Call us. She, asked us, when we wanted to go amd how many kids, etc. Within 30 min R C the owner at the Centurion branch called us and accommodated us. We were bowled over with the service we received today. We certainly have very helpful and kind people out there, that work together and nothing was, too much trouble for Wendy who is sitting all the way in Cape Town and we in Centurion. Thank you to Wendy and Rc our day was made special
Chilled place to go have fun with friends and family...good music and good vibes.The building in which its located is still under renovation but the place is still functional.
They closed for a few months for renovations but since they reopened I cant see what they renovated; looks much the same to me. Notwithstanding its nice having a bowling venue in the area.
My son loved this placed, so much its now his favourite spot.The chicken wings are brilliant.
Service is lacking professionalism. Great atmosphere for group outings.
Maintenance desperately needed. Its fun and cheap to pay here, but its rundown and dirty. Be prepared to ask for help with pin and ball return issues regularly.
My son and I always have our fun day here. It is guaranteed that the experience is always playful and fun for both adults and the kids.
It was enjoyable but the only problem was the lady that was at the front desk was very abrupt and did not explain that we had to make a booking. She had no people skills and did not explain the procedure when we got there. I enjoyed the bowling part but the customer service can be improved.
Closed permanently by the looks of it
Decent bowling facilities. Service needs attention. Be prepared to wait even if you booked lanes before hand. Also you have to pay to use the toilet facilities
Busy renovating at the time I visited. Good memories here.
Good place. Just ensure bowling shoes provided and for kiddies events separate bars from kids functions.
So fun and cheap. Convenient because its right next to cavendish so you can get a meal after bowling
Constant problems with mechanics of the pin setting machine. The staff were quick to help though.
For a fun time with friends head on over to Lets go bowling. Great atmosphere, for great amounts of laughter and competition
Lovely Bowling! Friendly staff, worth a visit for sure
Amazing place to hang out with friends. Just needs a maintenance check as we consistently had to reset the pins.
The staff are friendly and helpful; we had an awesome time bowling. Its a cost effective way to spend an evening and theyre open till late. Its safe, and family friendly.
Closed down
The place hasnt been maintained and really just needs a lot of work to bring it back to its former glory.
Place is ageing, but still a really nice place to go with friends and enjoy.
I was going to book in advance but when I read online under Thursday. It said you can’t book and it’s “first come first serve”. I decided to get there fairly early to not miss out but upon arriving I was told by a very rude, arrogant employee that they are fully booked and I should have booked in advance. I told her I didn’t book because of what the website said. She then said “you can’t book the special but you can book for the normal price” or something along those lines. The website is misleading and the staff is extremely rude. I’m disgusted by their service or lack there of.
I love this place. Will go again
Place currently undergoing renovation so 4 lanes are closed. But still good.
Great game to play and we had fun. The alley needs a refurbishment.
Extremely poorly managed, lanes & equipment faulty, staff & management not clued up on general business & customer service etiquette. Weve tried going there 3 times in recent months for team building & each time it was the same story or worse. We were not allowed to bring food inside, some of the staff ordered food there and most had runny tummies afterwards. Please sell the place so thay someone else can turn it around.
Good fun, although slightly run down and very well used balls. I still go regularly though.
As my birthday treat, had to take my daughters and nephew bowling and with Stadium on Main being the closest, opted to go there. First thing the kids told me (as theyve been there before), park at Cavendish Centre then they can use the loos there before we go as you have to pay R2 to use the toilets at Lets Go Bowling - My nephew was not impressed with his previous visit of the toilets.The alley is on the lower floor and the escalator was not working and the up side out of order so people going up and down had to use the same and when we arrived, a couple of people came up so we had to wait before we could go down. The bowling itself was not so bad - I havent been there in ages myself. Many of the balls had cracks in the finger holes. The holes in the balls for the kids was much too small as their fingers could not fit.My youngest wanted a coke and that cost R15 for a dumpy - rather expensive. For a Friday, it was not too busy. We had fun though and it was only R50 per person to play.
Poorly runRun downMost lanes don’t workUnderstaffedNo one seems to know what’s going on. You spend more time waiting for them to fix the lanes, than you do bowling.Can not recommend that any one comes here.
Had a lovely time with the family ~ safe clean fun
Stay tuned for the new and updated view of the bowling alley and stadium on main. The entertainment does not stop though.
I was a little disappointed in the lack of variety in the arcade games. I remembered so many more when I was younger. My nephews still had a good time though (different generation).
Dont let the construction work deceive you, this bowling spot is a really decent spot. After some rounds of bowling give the arcade a shot, will make for a good outing.
A good place for hanging out for team building efforts for colleagues. Close to Cavendish Mall and other amenities.
Best place for team building. My team tried it and had a good time
We went there for team building in the evening. It was enjoyable, however the facilities were not up to scratch. Our alley got jammed a few times so we had to eventually swap over to another alley. The chicken strips and chips portions were very small for the price we paid and we had stomach problems the next day. I also had numerous problems with sending through proof of payment. I sent at least 3 emails with the proof of payment, yet they still didnt get it- very irritating. We eventually had to show them on their PC the proof of payment before they saw it. I also found it ridiculous that we had to pay to use the toilets.
Too much fun, but you have to wait which can be annoying. The place was under construction as well so its not necessarily inviting, not enough chairs, space a bit cramped.
Place looked great, service was great. Line was hectic, best have a booking.
Bowling is always fun however the bowling alley in a serious need of an upgrade.
Its a pretty decent bowling alley and good spot for a work event. The Stadium on Main building itself is a bit dingy and in need of a revamp which would raise the level of this bowling alley as well.
The bowling was fun, but the fiod was cold chips very oily, the chiken wrap very dry. If they can work on this it would be a fun place to go to!!
