This place is classic and the staff are helpful. Im starting to build memories with my kids in the same place my parents took me. Im thankfulthey participate in the kids bowl free program during the summer so we can beat the heat and have cheap entertainment. Plus the arcade, bar, and pizza place make it a great place to be for the whole family.

I bowl in a league there and it is a blast. The people who work there are so nice. Its a fun place to go.

Always a fun, family friendly place! The food and service has always been great.

Join a fun bowling league and we are having a blast. Nice people and the foods not bad either.

A very wholesome establishment and experience friendly staff full bar and a pizza joint makes for an awesome bowling alley. I also bowled the best I ever had there must have been the 3 pitchers of spotted cow. Also to mention its very well taken care of very clean

It was alright. 10$ for 2 hours of bowling per person.. But,, They really charge over every little thing. Like those bowling assistant things for kids or refills on soda. Never seen that before. 4 stars cause they had a nice employee who took a family picture for us.

Your typical bowling alley. This place hasnt had any updates since the late 90s, but that may add to the charm.

They told me 15 minutes. 20 minutes later I showed up and my food wasnt started and was wrong. Charged me for sides I never got. 3rd time.. very disappointing

With only 3 groups bowling, including ourselves, social distancing was great! THEN.. another group comes and the attendant places them only 3 lanes away. Seriously!! There is 29 lanes!! To top it off only one of them chose to wear a mask. Come on Dream Lanes, make better choices.

Still is fun to go to. But then people in the kitchen need to stop banging back there and give us our food. We had to wait for an hour for our food. So 5 stars for Bowling and 1 star for waiting a long as time for the food. ( plus its was only us there when we order.)

Its usually always a good time. The staff is always very helpful and welcoming. They are still open during the pandemic. Its really one of the only things left to do in Madison at the moment. Nice clean shoes. Decent ball choices and sizes. Clean bathrooms. Drinks are a little pricey, but what bar isnt?? Id recommend to anyone that wants to get out for a lil bit and throw some balls around!

Great place and very clean. Great place for family fun

Place is pretty cool but was kinda packed when we went there. Other than that it was pretty cool and clean

Staff were very generous to let us finish our game even though we went over time.

Good times with good friends.

Just horrible customer service. Some employee should not be working with the public. As if they hate their jobs.

One of my favorite bowling ally’s. Newly updated lanes!

Was a very crowded busy tournament last Sunday. Started promptly, SEEMED VERY well run. The Pizza pit restaurant food looked and smelled amazing. Everyone around us said tasted awesome.Clean inside, bar area big. Wed go back.

Great family place!!!! Just wish youll bring beer prices down 11 for a pitcher and 4 for a can. Thats a little too much!!!!

First time for myself and a group of friends. Great place to bowl. Average prices for games, shoes, food, and drinks. (They did offer some deals on weekdays.) We went on a Saturday and there was a tournament going on; we were still able to get two lanes. Lots of space to sit by the lanes, which is appreciated. Overall great place to bowl a few games!

Great spot to hang out with friends. Cheap drinks and good eats! Whether you want a midweek hang out or looking to blow off some steam on the weekend this place is a great choice!

Good, not fancy

Dream Lanes is my home alley. I am the captain of my bowling team, 2 years in a row. There is about 30 things that makes dream lanes awesome. I’ll focus on a few of them. If you haven’t met Aaron, I would recommend it. He is great. You just know he has a ton of bowling knowledge. The have great sausage, mushroom, and onion pizza. We get it every week. If you ask my team what they think, they think the same as me. I look forward to my 2nd season as captain.Highly recommend the place!

Alright bowling alley on the east side open a lot of hours. Wood lanes, strong back ends which makes scoring easy and the shot forgiving. Robin the owner always is working hard to make bowling fun and get people in the door.

Great lanes. My ball never gets stuck like other lanes Ive been at, touchscreens are great and so is the staff. Will definitely be back

I did not know this alley existed until a few days ago. I went there to bowl because its close to where I live. The lanes are nice and the prices are extremely fair! Only thing I would change is that they would/could ask if you want to be near large families. I love to bowl and am competitive with my score and its not the best scenario when you have families with kids throwing bowling balls down your Lane in the gutter.

Dream Lanes is the only place I bowl. Unlike some bowling alleys, its not overly-fancy. Its clean but also aged in (what I find to be) a very nice way. The Bowl Your Brains Out special is well worth the $6 per person. The two hours of bowling with shoes included is just enough for a comfortable three games with four people on a lane.

I have always liked this place the people there are really nice and they dont care about color. I will tell anybody to go there and have a good time. the food was okay did not try all but did not like the taco Mimi.

I love Pizza Pit pizza! We stopped for a bite to eat after unloading our truck. They had a nice game room for kids to earn tickets and the machines took quarters instead of tokens.Great customer service and great prices. I highly recommend this location.

I lost at bowling so its awful.

Best bowling alley hands down great employees who have all been there forever but still remember who you are great bowling specials and the bar is good too they are also connected to pizza pit. O and they have a really nice smoking patio

They have all you need for a night out in one building. I bowl on a 9 pin team they are just for having fun.

Old school bowling alley with a good pizza place in it. So much to love nothing to hate.

I bowl here in a league and its a decent establishment. People are good. Food provided by Pizza Pit so depends on your opinion of that establishment. They have been making some updates recently which are nice, but I give it three stars because the machinery (scoring, ball return, pinsetters, etc) is aging and needs replacement. Watch for scoring errors, dry lanes, and ball damage. Otherwise a good place to bowl.

Went the for a fundraising event. So nice of the owner to let this college student use the place for a great cause. The game was fun and actually the pizza was great for a bowling alley! Only suggestion will be, maybe organize the noodling balls by weight or indicate it on the balls. It took me a while to find the weight I could throw. Definitely will come back again!

Real mellow place to bowl. Like the way if your bowling with kids the gutter rails pop up on the kids turn. fair prices. Decent food and bar.

Had a blast here with the family! Clean, affordable, good service and a ton of fun. Will be back!

Great bowling center.I have bowled there for over 60 years and coached junior bowling there back in the 60,s and the 70,s.I bowl there in 3 leagues now during the bowling season .The owner takes very good care of his bowlers so it makes you want to come back each year.They just installed new synthetic Lanes so to bring the center up to the modern lane conditions for todays bowling.They have great pizza with a Pizza Pit franchise in the center.Phil

Many lanes, good specials, staff has always been friendly. They have some land with automatic bumpers that will go up when it is a certain persons turn. The pizza pit inside is good.Make sure you print any specials/ coupons. The $10 free by signing up on there website is only good for 30 days and you need to spend $20, and you need to print it.

We had our first Bowl-A-Rama Fundraiser with Dream Lanes. Jeff was very helpful from start to finish in all of our stages of planning. The day of the event, the staff were very helpful, flexible, and accommodating. Everyone enjoyed the pizza, pop, & pins deal from the Pizza Pit. I highly recommend Dream Lanes for your next gathering, event, or fundraiser - you wont be disappointed!

Have had many Wonderful, Fun times with friends and family at Dream Lanes. Thank you.p.s. I LOVE the Curly Fries! (and the bowling😊).❤

I really wanted to like this place, because it is so close to my house. However, it was such a disappointing experience. I walked all the way across the bowling alley and could not find a ball that was a good fit, they all had the finger holes really far apart or the finger holes were so small my fingers couldnt fit in them. The only balls that I could find that fit were 14lb. I went to the desk where I saw they had a whole rack of more like 8 or 10 pound balls, but it said for small children only but there was a whole rack, so I asked if I could use one of those and they said oh your fingers wont fit but I could tell that they have some that would and they just kind of shrugged at me.But I still wanted to have fun so I continued bowling, but these lanes just felt off. The pins wouldnt bounce, and everything was more greasy than usual.I will say, the staff was, overall super helpful and polite, pizza pit being next door was great (delivered right to the lane), and the prices were fair. Im going to give it another chance because Id really like to find a good bowling alley close to home.

The bowling was ok, but the food and beverages areas felt gross. Rail drinks not good. They have a small event room near the bar and it contains the single most disgusting piece of furniture (a corner booth) I have ever seen in an establishment.

Cosmic Bowling was awesome! The bumpers werent working so they gave us a free game. Really helpful staff and good food from the pizza pit in there. Definitely going back!

Dream Lanes was one of our houses to bowl at for state tournaments. It accommodates a large group for the event. Very good service

Best bowling alley in Madison. Well maintained lanes and pinsetters. Good pizza, cold beer, friendly professional staff.

Very expensive and watch out! They will overcharge you on top of it.I was there on Saturday, January 26th and bowled with my kids. We each bowled 2 games @ $4.50 per game which should have come to $27 but we were charged $31.50. Add $9.75 for shoes and our total was $41.25. Luckily I printed out a coupon for $10 off which brought my total to $31.25. Still seems high.Bottom line, it felt like there was a bottleneck of people at the checkout counter and I just paid what the guy told me without question. As I was driving home it occurred to me that I was charged for an extra game unless there is a lane fee or something that I am unaware of?

I love Dream Lanes. Every time Im there, I get treated well. We love going on Packer game days, when they have their $1 margarita and soda promotion. Shoes and games are also a dollar during the games. Even now that I live over on the west side of Madison, I still will drive out there to bowl. Having Pizza Pit attached is nice too, though now that Im gluten free I wont really have any food options within the center. I would love to see Pizza Pit develop a gluten free selection, but that is an issue many places. Overall, Dream Lanes is the best bowling alley Ive been to - and not just because their margaritas are strong!

One of the last bowling alleys in the area to have real wood Lanes. For that reason alone its always my first choice.*Update* Dream Lanes now has synthetic lanes. Its still a great bowling alley.

Great party and service! Celebrated my sisters birthday. Food is fantastic.

Staff just seemed like they wanted to go home, but otherwise they always have the game on and and pretty reasonable.

$2 per game from 10-11AM and $2.50 per game from 11AM-12PM on Sundays. Great deal!

We went on a Saturday afternoon and had no problem getting a lane for open bowl. We should have done the open hour of bowling instead of buying each game. The place is clean and friendly.

A little off the beaten path but always. Lean and the people at the desk are always friendly. Plenty of parking and a pro shop, bar and pizza restaurant are built in.

Great staff! Reasonable prices.

Great bowling little spot, clean and relatively inexpensive

Its a bowling alley not much to say but I think it was a bit expensive

Very nice 👌

Nice establishment, but the beverages are a little pricey.

Cosmic bowling is a bit of a let down. Need louder music and darker lighting to appreciate the fun lights!

Weirdest place i have ever woken up.

The lanes are nice and the staff attentive!

Ive been doing one of their casual have-a-ball leagues for a few years now, and the staff is always great. The lanes arent the fanciest and the food (an attached pizza pit) is only ok, but I always look forward to league night here.

Good local bowling alley. Full bar lots of seating and pizza pot right on site. Great gyros

Had a great time last night at Dream Lanes. $8 for all you can bowl and free shoe rental. Beer specials were great and it wasnt crowded. Recommend to the casual bowling enthusiast.

Love the food an friendly staff

Sunday nights $5 bowling w/ shoes for 2 hours you cant beat the family fun.

Excellent lanes. Modern equipment.

This bowling alley is a dump run by a crabby old man. I went on the website to check out their special for Glo bowling on Friday night and was excited to see the video showing all the cool lights and the fog and the loud music promising at great experience. When we got there was anything but great. For the first hour they were playing old style classic rock music and the supposed light show they have only consist of black lights and a few of the multicolored disco lights. No fog, no strobes and and overall ho hum experience. At 10 they started playing urban rap music which was garbage but at least it was from the last decade.I also signed up on their website for the free $10 off coupon and was denied use of it because they said that the $9 per person bowling rate for Glo bowl was already discounted they couldnt give me another discount yet the coupon says its for ANY type of bowling, glow bowling included; with a purchase of $20 or more. Regular price is $4.50 per person per game and $3.75 for shoe rental. These prices are outrageous and the highest price Ive ever seen for a bowling alley.Will not come back

Wouldnt honor emailed coupon, place is a dump and manager was extremely unhelpful

Good time! Who doesnt like an afternoon of bowling...

This bowling alley is all fine and good. I will return. Generally, Dream Lanes is not a very up to date building, technology or bathrooms...but all in all, gets the job done for a good night in bowling. My boyfriends new bowling ball was chipped in their lane, and they fixed it for free in just a few days and it was good as new. I give them a three because i did have a bad experience once while checking out with a coupon. They made a really big deal about how i couldnt use the coupon since i hadnt printed it out. I was trying to use it by showing them my phone. I think this also shows that they are out of date. Rates are competitive for Madison.

Just your average bowling alley. With rum and coke pitcher specials and a pizza place attached. No complaints. Would bowl here again.

Just finished bowling for state tournament... cramped concourse and unfriendly wait staff; otherwise, not too bad.

Great place to bowl and very good food

Fun for whole family, cant beat the bowl your brains out deal!

Great lane conditions for Womens State Bowling Tournament! 😊

Was great, Fun, clean, Service was Excellent, alsoPizza Pits pizza was Perfect

Great facility! Friendly staff

It is a fun place kid appropriate and the pizza is really good they have great deals and I recommend this place for families and friends looking for a good time

This is the place to go when me and my friends go bowling. The only issue we ran into was one of the bowling balls were starting to wear out.

Good drinks great service.

Kid friendly birthday party. good atmosphere, good prices

State bowling tourny this weekend. Bar staff were great and fun. Clean bathrooms and alleys.

Friendly staff, good beer and decent food!

Lanes are nice, also great food and the service is great. I also like the bowl til midnight on the weekends

Nice place but can be busy. Make sure to call in and see if leagues are going on.

Fun family atmosphere. Went for State bowling so it was understandably crowded :)

I love having a cold beer and ordering something from Pizza Pit next door and having it sent right to the bar. Plenty of TVs to watch the game.

BOWLING 🥴Really good greasy tables and bowling balls. 10/10

Great service may be best ive had at madison Bowling alleys

The experience was great would go back again

Well since you ask Maps, I was only there waiting in the car while my sister ran in to pick up a pizza we ordered from Pizza Pit thats inside but thanks for asking anyway Maps. 🤣

Love the feel of an older bowling alley. Excellent customer service!

Complete waste of time. Robin, the guy who helped coordinate our fundraiser that we held here completely fooled us out of the very little money we made for our girls cheer uniforms. We may not be able to have uniforms for our girls. I will never have a fundraiser here ever. Hopefully we can make up for this loss of money and time before our season starts.

Amazing service may be the best ive had at a area bowling ally

Great place to get a drink and have some fun

Very clean. Nice staff.

We took our grandson there, he had lots of fun, the food was good.

We went there for a family fun night, we got there and were deciding what bowling deal we should do and then the old guy with the belly and tattoos on his calves rudely tells us to hurry up without actually trying to help us. After all that, they mixed up out food plus bowling deal and we went up to the counter to change it and the same rude guy was being an ass about giving us the wrong thing. He ruined my night especially because he DIDNT help us at all. He was the only guy with really bad customer service experience. Not satisfied at all. Im actually never going back there just because of him.
