Wakefield Bowladrome,

92 Water Street, Wakefield, MA 01880

"Visiting the area on a vacation and was looking for something to do on a late evening after a busy day. Came upon this place thinking it was "regular" bowling. Being from PA, we never heard of this but it was amazing and so much fun. I really wish we had this in my area. It is easy to learn but also very challenging, way better than normal bowling, me and my son had a blast. I think it was $28 per hour and, in my opinion, a great value. We easily bowled 3 games in that time and if we didn't have to go, would have bowled another 3. The gentleman working was awesome. Super cool guy and very helpful explaining the game to us rookies. Everything about this place took me back to my childhood and the good days, it's got an "old school" feeling and that's a great thing. Great customer service, fair prices and a good atmosphere. I also appreciate the cash only policy. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely be back. Highly recommended and I hope for many more years for this fine establishment. 10 stars."

"Visited from Ottawa, Ontario and had 3 games. Frank was great to chat with and helpful to get the hang of candlepin! Highly recommend and will come back again if we're ever in the area."

"Went the other day for the first time and had a blast! The staff were really friendly and answered all of our questions. It was $28 per hour for the lane plus $2 shoe rentals. We will be back!"

"What a great location for fun with family and friends. We attended my sister’s 70th birthday party here and enjoyed bowling and lots of laughs. There were kids and adults alike. The kids, as young as 2 had a ball! They were able roll the balls down the gutter since there are no bumpers, bowl in different lanes that we were assigned and roll the bowl sloooowly. Nothing automatic here, push the button for reset, paper score sheets and old style seating. I can see why this location has been used in so many movies. Don’t miss visiting here!"

"A great place for a family to grow up, in an area that used to have more alleys. The only downsides are the awkwardly spaced parking lot and cash-only, though cash is available at the supermarket next door. My family’s been in Wakefield or Melrose for many generations. Three generations including me have been raised with the Bowladrome, and my extended family would often bowl there 12/26 when folks traveled to Mass for Christmas. Now it’s a known TV and movie set, and I live a half mile away. I visit with Wakefield friends sometimes, like this holiday weekend."
