We took our kid and some of their friends here for a birthday get-together. It ended up being black light bowling because they couldn't get normal replacement lightbulbs or something like that. The kids didn't care, but my husband (who takes his bowling seriously) didn't care for it. Other than that, it was a pretty nice bowling alley.

Full disclosure, I'm not much of a bowler. But I love mini-golf. With the weather being a bit colder, I went looking for a few indoor mini-golf choices around Indy. Bowl 32 has a really well decorated course! It's very short, though (only 9 holes). But the decor alone is worth a play through. The course seemed well maintained, too, without any major breakdowns or issues. The staff were mostly kids from Noblesville High School, and were all friendly. Just don't expect them to offer concierge white glove service. It's a bowling alley staffed by teens in the suburbs. The bowling and arcade all looked well maintained and entertaining, too. And there was a nice food area. I think if you're looking for an afternoon distraction for kids, Bowl 32 is a great choice.

We are living in 2099 or something. Robot service? I mainly go to the arcade, but me and my gf went there and spend hours!!! On the coin machines. Other than that, service was great from the robot and humans. Place is really clean. And has a great selection of music when you first step into the building.

Bowl 32 has been my go-to "fun spot" for years, and I was so excited to bring my friends with me! First of all, Bowl 32 is much more affordable than most bowling alleys in our area, and it offers several more activities like laser tag, glow-in-the-dark mini golf, and an arcade. I called ahead and made a reservation for Saturday night, but I guess it wasn't really necessary. Most of the lanes were empty, and that made me really sad. More people need to come check this place out! I could spend hours here without spending too much, as bowling costs $45/hour/lane up to 5 people (a fraction of Pinhead's cost), laser tag was only $5/game, and the arcade games were priced pretty reasonably ($1-$1.50 per play, and generally arcade games are upwards of $3/play these days!) The bowling was a great time, my friends and I got a kick out of the "YouToons" where we could add our own pictures to the screen, and the disco lights and music made for a very fun atmosphere. I'm not the best bowler, and if you aren't either, I suggest practicing before you come because bumpers are only allowed for 12 and under! The laser tag was a blast, it was hilarious seeing a bunch of adults run wild together. Everyone on the staff was very kind (including the adorable robot waiters!) and they really go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home. Bowl 32 was a fantastic team-bonding activity, and will always be my favorite bowling alley in Indiana!

Horrible experience this time. This place used to be great, real classic bowl experience with some cool lights and fun arcade games. Unfortunately for whatever reason, they added MORE entertainment to a place that can barely handle what they had. Overwhelming, you can tell just by the seating that there were way too many people in that small building. In addition the food, bar, and bowling service lines all point to each other right by the front doors creating a chaotic entrance. Side note... Good golly that food was horrendous. Bowling prices raised because of the stupid additions and food/alcohol prices are out of line expensive for what you get. In conclusion it seems like the owner wants to own 3 businesses but stuck them all into one undersized bowling alley. My personal experience today was a messed up reservation (with an email that had the right time) food that couldn't be ordered till you have a lane resulting in less time spent bowling and a 15 min wait for a beer(aka less time bowling)... talk about inefficiency. Don't think I got more than 40% of my money's worth or less. RIP Bowl 32 sad day

First, had another patron try to fight me because I told her son to stop trying to start fights with our kids, we were there for a birthday party. Second, got screwed out of laser tag for the kids 2x, third, had tokens and cards from the games in the arcade, put them in the machine to convert to points and got ripped out of 2,000+ points that supposedly never loaded. The pizza was good, the bartender was great, the young man with the beard at the bowling counter who figured out how to help us was amazing. The man who said he was going to call the cops, while we were outside, not so nice, didn't try to stop anything when a drunk dad got in my face. When I was young, if I did something wrong in public and another adult had to correct me, my parents would thank them and whip my behind, but these people were like, you aren't his parent, why didn't you come find me, you don't talk to my son like that, I mean seriously. All I said to him was, "Stop trying to start fights with our kids." That's it, no threats, nothing mean. Anyway, will NEVER go back.

This place is the absolute worst bowling alley I have personally ever been to. The customer service was absolutely horrible, we order food and it took and hour and half to get and my fiancés was cold & when i asked about mine they hadn't even started making it. Then proceeded to tell me what i ordered they were out of. They did give me a refund which was cool but the amount of time we wasted trying to get food for over two hour was insane. Not to mention it was $120 for two hours of bowling which is insane. The bowling alley is nice but not that nice to be charging people for absolute horrible service. I live in Fort Wayne & it's $10 a person for an hour & $15 for 2, & that's at a super nice bowling alley. Do not waste your time or money at this place, you are better off driving out of town to a smaller more local owned small business where the owner will actually see all these rating on their business and actually make the change.

Service and staff is the biggest problem for this place. When we walked in the door there was no greeting, staff seemed absent and unfriendly. We had called a couple of days before and advise wouldn't need a reservation for a party of 3. After driving an hour to get there, we were given a 4 hour wait time. However, only half the lanes were occupied the 2 hours we were there. Luckily, there were other things to do. The second floor is a glow in the dark putt-putt. The family didn't find to much fun up there though. It is decently taken care of, however no music. Additionally, no air circulation. Could be a really nice area if they would add music and a couple of circulating fans. The arcade was a huge plus! Games were high priced, however most were play until you win or generous ticket amounts with decent prizes. Would recommend more attentive staff, no one was around the ticket redemption area. Had to find staff every time, then they acted annoyed to have to help us. Also needs music or something in that area. Biggest take away was needs drastic improvement in customer service and ambience in places other then the alleys.

1 table with 5 chairs per alley is junk. Don't even think about having a group date night with 3 couples or a family of 6 bowling together. You'll have to get 2 lanes since the limit is 5 people. Bowl 32 is nothing but about the buck. Not only that but make sure you have a reservation otherwise your screwed. Gone are the days of family fun at the local bowling alley. They put in an ax throwing section and now there chit don't stink. I used to love coming here but times they are a changing. Save yourself the nothing but junk.

This is the worst bowling establishment. The equipment breaks down constantly and when it does work it's slow. Food service is pathetic. Plus, the manager is rude and should NEVER be in a public facing role. I hope the owner sees this and fires the manager for being an inept asshole. Customer satisfaction is not something this place has. I will be posting on social media about the abhorrent equipment and staff.
This place is awful for league bowlers. First, there's no cell service, but the wifi is reliable. There's never a week when the lanes don't break down. The ball return is incredibly slow. The waitress is slower than the ball the return. The men's bathroom smells like piss and there's always a trash bag on one of the urinals. It's awful.

On Tuesday I tried to reserve a lane at this place on Sat for just 1hr of bowling which was accepted so when I got there on Sat the manager FLATLY refused to give me a lane stating his employee was new and make a mistake and that he could make more money from the party groups that day than from a regular league bowler. I refuse to go back now so they lost an entire group of league bowlers so instead of losing just $10 (the difference between league vs regular prices) they lost $526 for the entire 16wks of league bowling for our group. The manager doesn't care about regular customers just about how much $$$ he can make that day. There are better bowling alleys around that care about customer satisfaction. Try Royal Pin Woodland Bowl on 96th street.

Great atmosphere and great selection of food and drinks in the service is amazing! ?

Been here once before and it was great! The drinks were cheap and it wasn't too far from home. Came back tonight and it was actually the worst service I've ever experienced. We showed up and are told the bar is closed...ok fine but that is one of the reasons we wanted to come back. Then our lane just stopped working probably 5 times before we were offered a new one. They charge by the hour so we lost a good 30 minutes of time just waiting for the to fix it over and over. We got to our new lane and the lane next to us had beers! When we asked about both the bar and our lane the staff was less than pleasant. We were given no explanation to why one lane was allowed access to the bar and it was closed when we asked. Needless to say I will be sticking to pinheads.

Pizza was cold, and so we're the wings.Was told my order would be ready in 30 min. It was obvious that it was sitting out and done much sooner.Very disappointed.This is my worst rating for a pizza shop.PS. The toppings seemed good but I also ordered onions to be added and they were not.
