Reviews for Spare Time Clifton Park in Clifton Park, NY
From a bowlers perspective, management has really taken this place in the wrong direction for the last few years. This place is... morphing more and more into an arcade and place for kids, which is of course good for kids, but is leaving serious bowlers toonly have access to decent lane conditions on league nights. Other than league nights they don't clean/oilthe lanes properly,and they also make rules that deter league bowlers from practice. Read more
Arrived on Labor Day to play a couple of bowling games and visit the arcade, as homage to my inner child. When we arrived we had... to provide our phone number so that we could be texted once the lane was ready. The wait was approximately 30 mins. Since wewere waiting, we were going to try to eat at their restaurant however, the owner dimmed the lights to discourage people fromgoing as he states he didn't have enough staff working. So we decided to get wings at the counter but we're told they were out,then we tried for a quesadilla but they were also not able to do that. So we just got an appetizer of mozzarella sticks. We thendecided to check out the bar, however, the gentleman there stated that he couldn't make the mixed drinks on the menu and onlycould do "basic drinks". We ended up having water. We decided to bowl only one game then hopped over to the air hockey tablewhere our puck got stuck in the machine not allowing us to finish our game. We did receive a refund on the machine. We tried afew other games and decided to call it quits. On the way out we gave a card with the tickets on it to some children. Not sure ifI'll return to this location. Read more
I took my 10 year old son bowling for the first time. Lots of fun. Nice and clean. Very friendly and helpful staff. Going again... soon. Read more
We were just recently there. While the bowling experience wasn?t terrible, the worker at the food counter was a real peach?I... mean it?s not the best job ever but look a little less like someone just punched your grandmother and try to at least bewelcoming. Needless to say we did not order and it was also overpriced as we went out to eat after and came to the same price wewould?ve been charged for a couple of fried foods. Just want to say customer service does matter and makes a huge difference. Read more
Had a great time here with my cousins, going bowling is always a good time! Do be careful if you have long nails, death by... bowling ball is one of the more brutal nail casualties I've experienced. The arcade was fun as well, though like half the arcademachines weren't working. Read more
Once I walked in I was so happy to have found a place to bring my kids over. Unfortunately this will be my first and last time.... Staff was so rude. I came in with my friend and our kids. Staff refused to change our kids shoes size. Refused to let ushave enough lanes for the kids to play comfortable. Refused to let us have the lanes next to each other even though there wereenough empty lanes for them to do that. After accommodating the kids we grabbed some food which by the way did not fit injust one table because of the size of our group. We sat in two tables and the same rude staff came over taking away ourchildren plates that still had food on saying we were occupying a table while the whole room still had empty tables. I felt sobad being the focus point of this staff member since the moment we walked in. A few minutes later another party sat at thelane before last occupying more than two tables but playing in just one lane. However, this staff member never approached themwith the same comment or focus that he had on us. Maybe was because they were not Hispanic or single women with children. Read more
Had a boys night out with my son we had an absolute blast laser tag video games and bowling . Oh and food ???? I was damn... impressed!! Nothing bad to say we had a great time and can't wait to go back Read more
What a place! The bowling lanes are modern and seating is very nice and comfortable. We were there thanksgiving weekend so was... understandably busy. We waited about 30 mins for two lanes to accommodate our large group. Kids played in the arcade while wewaited (spending plenty of money). Food was quite good for a bowling alley. We had quesadillas, cheese and BBQ pizzas, andwings. My favorite was the quesadillas but others loved the wings as well. Pizza was good too. After bowling we let our kidsdo laser tag. Our 8 and 11 year old said it was a bit scary. The 8 year old wouldn?t do it again at this place but our 11 yearold said it was fine. Read more
