I worked for the Wow Zone when they first opened so I can tell you from first hand experience its the premier entertainment center for not only this region but for the 5 state area. Pam and Doug and their partner have built a entertainment facility that covers so much more than games. From the latest in arcade games to laser tag Zone mini golf, professional quality bowling facilities to some of the best dining in the area. This is a must do experience.....the Wow Zone....its not just a name its a entertainment definition .

The staff were helpful, friendly and so smiley!! Prices are very reasonable for a family to bowl several games. Wait staff come right to your table with menus and deliver food to your lane!!

Had my daughters 10th birthday there today and it was fun but the party room was kinda small only 2 tables and it took an extremely long time to get the pizzas we ordered. I had to cancel the last pizza we ordered because the party was over before the pizza arrived. And my guests left still hungry.

Have Arcade with pool tables, a bowling shop, and has a big 3 separate area with bowling lanes. Its a really nice place with a really good deal on price for bowling games. Paid only 14 dollars for 3 games and a pitcher of beer only cost me 10 bucks. Since recently Ive not seen any pitcher at that low price and foods are good. Was served well and I must say very professional on the customer service. Such a great place, so I guess as good as it is, the place is very popular. If you plan to check it out, I would recommend calling in and reserve your spots because of its price and being a great fun place for anyone, even the kids, the place is always pretty filled up and jammed pack.

We had a great time bowling and the grandkids loved the arcade games!

My husband bowled great during tournament! The cheese burger and tator tots were delicious. Cranberry and Absolute Vodka was good. Downside is no Johnny Walker Black Label, my husband favorite drink. All in all good place.

This is always a really great place to bring your kids everything is clean they have bowling games that are working its affordable they have Monday through Friday one to four $10 unlimited gameplay which makes it affordable for families I will definitely be taking pictures next time I go there everything is always so neatly done

Great service all day for the jamboree events and Banquet of Champions dinner 🍽️.Very accommodating for all of our bowling needs.

Kids always have a blast. I wish that they would change the laser tag layout once in a while and rotate some of their games.

Food and service is exceptional. Bowling lanes were good, but volume on the music could be pumped up a bit. Fun place, great for all ages!

We had lots of fun, huge place with a great activities selection

Im a little too old, but i still had a lot of fun!

Lots of options for everyone. Pretty clean and service was good!

Good food, good service, excellent place for a party, bit if I am too make a suggestion, open at 11 instead of 1

The service was a bit slow but the food was great.

Nice placeto have fun

Fun place for the kids.and a bar for us adults

Another amazing night of bowling with friends. Morgan is by far the best server they have. All other employees are friendly and courteous

Great place they have alot of things to do there

Grandkids birthdays, they always love it

Awesome kids loved it perfect for a birthday party

Drove all the way to mankato to take our kids bowling and maybe some other things. When we arrived we were promptly told we need to call and reserve a lane even though it says nothing about that on their website. Ended up just doing mini golf which was fine. Place was packed, would have been nice to know you HAVE to call ahead and reserve a lane but we should have called ahead.

Always a great time and the staff seems pretty cool!!

Great food and activity center.

Great pizza and good entrees.

A great fun place for all ages

Actually was listening to good music 🎶 in the Wow Zone bar. Very good 😊...

Took our sons here for their last big night before school starts. There are a lot of fun activities and games, Ill give them that. And the kids working were all very helpful. The problem is, several of the games were broken or eating our money and not giving us tickets. The staff were quick to refund, which I really appreciated. Prize selection is pretty decent for kids but man oh man you can drop money quickly here! My boys had a good time, thats what counts. Im sure well be back, next time for supper too. We never made it out of the arcade this time around.We didnt try bowling or laser tag or mini golf either but that appeared to be a bit the draw for the teens and preteens.

Enjoyed the mini golf and lazer tag. Something fun for all ages.

Great service. So much fun bowling with the kids

Was a good time. Great place to have fun but was sad at the lack of staff watching the area. Saw kids literally trying to pry the top off a game a few times to reach in. Laser tag was great but the hit register seems to be slightly off. Was able to hit people through walls.The bowling balls are a bit less than desired.. I dont expect them to be perfect but I also dont expect a gouge in it where I can fit part of my pinky in either. Love the automated bumpers so they arnt up for every one.than that it was good and everyone had a fun time.

Outdated games. Mini putt needs to be converted to golf simulators. Bowling lanes and food are great.

I enjoyed bowling here and appreciated the safety precautions put in place to mitigate COVID but still allow community members to go and have fun. We also went mini golfing which seemed a little expensive for the amount of holes played ($7 for 10 holes- I think, I cant remember exactly amount of holes but definitely less than standard 18). I did think the arcade was fun and had great variety of games to choose from! All in all, a fun time.

It is a good place to bring the kids. Can be a little spendy but it is worth with. Food is decent for the price. Overall a pretty good place

My nephews absolutely love it highly recommend

Fun was had by kids and adults. Will be back again. Next time for the bowling and maybe laser tag.

Great food and the kids had a blast in the arcade

We had a lot of fun!

Always love going for their 1 lb cheese curds, they dont have it anymore kind of bummed about that. Would really love for you to bring it back.

They have great food and an Arcade. They also have a buffet on Sunday mornings. The atmosphere is noisy depending on where you are. The service is great.

Great place to have fun! Great food and service

Great place!! Good atmosphere and top notch service when you walk through the door. High recommend

Awesome service. Fun for the whole family.

Nice place. Not crowded but it was also early and a Tuesday.

A little slow on the food. But the service was good. I mean we are in a pandemic so...

Had such an awesome time

It w as awesome best trip by far we grade so much fun

VERY FUN FOR BIRTHDAY PARTIES AND KID FUN OR ADULT FUN

Good food, slow service

Good family fun

Good place for a meal nice atmosphere

Clean bowling establishment. Good service

Loved they mini golf

Great fun

First time, had a lot of fun

This place is great! Their dill pickle pizza is the best!

Lol was fun

The mini golf course was unplayable. You can’t see the holes and there are no walls between the holes, it’s so dark you can’t see where holes end and start. The only thing fun about this course is laughing how bad it is.

Expensive for games and food.

Great place, but closes early even on weekends.

Always great service. Fun and clean environment. With covid, everything is sanitized all the time. Make reservations because it is at half capacity.

Lazer tag, bowling and games. So much fun.

There is so much to do here for people of all ages! Bowling, mini golf, arcade, food, bar and so much more. Staff is super friendly and everything was super clean. They created and followed CDC guidelines for COVID, and made it possible for us to still have fun. Thank you WOW!Zone!!

Fun family night for the entire fam!

Had a lot of fun, call ahead for reservation. Staff was friendly and courteous

Great place to take kids

We watched our relative bowl in a tournament. He had a great time too. And his brother played in the game room during the tournament. Also they served food/drinks to others around, making it easier to stay with the ones we wanted to watch.And the bathroom was roomy and clean.They also have a restaurant with ample space for groups.Id be willing to go back!

The Wow! Zone is a top notch place to have meetings, and have fun! My BNI Networking group meets their weekly and it is always clean, staff is wonderful and the food for lunch has always been top notch! This is a place that accommodates kids, parties, bowling and food! Highly recommend for a fun afternoon with the kids or to book your corporate party or meeting!

Some new games and entertainment are needed. Its the same thing every time it seems; half the games are broken and outdated...

Had a nice Lions Club celebration & award for my father & enjoyed good appetizers.

I loved it so much fun

Loved it played laser tag

Had a good time bowling with the family. Seemed like a lot of people were enjoying some food while they bowled although we didnt. Prices seemed reasonable and it looked like they had some good deals throughout the week. My only issue was finding a bowling ball that fit my fat fingers.

Eli was an amazing server! Food was good! Lots of space and things to do.

Very fun. Nice lazer tag.

I bowl on a couple leagues at Wow Zone and spend a lot of my time there. Wow Zone has the best owner (Pam). Pam is not an owner who spends all of her time enjoying her life outside of the building. She is hard working but laid back, fun, and cares about so many people. She basically lives at the Wow Zone and bowls on league. The business world needs more people like her. Great ownership.The staff at Wow Zone are all very friendly, and its fun to build relationships with everybody. Though some of the wait staff could use more training, and some of the food could be better, overall its a wonderful place for families, league members, college students, and company parties.

Surprising to many, WOW has some of the best food in Mankato. They have the #1 prime rib town. Burgers, wins and pics are all very good also.

Bowling balls didn’t work

It aint all that fun for me because I was sick and my family went and they told me everything. I wish I couldve gone. 3/5 for hearing everything.

We go to the restaurant a lot. They have a great menu. Very awesome wait staff. The fried food has been coming out very dark but everything else is good

Good service and good food. The Wow Zone was fun but the place could use some TLC. Many of the arcade games did not work and the black light mini golf was in need of repair. Many of the black lights were out and it was almost impossible to enjoy it. Next time we plan on bowling, the lanes looked very nice!

Great place for any age!! Bowling, pool, video games, etc! Laser tag is a blast! Fun for all ages! Great pizza! Fun atmosphere in the sports bar! I highly recommend the Wow Zone if youre in town for a visit! Close to hotels and malls!

Mini golf was fun

I have a daily allergy and they have made multiple accommodations for me! They have awesome food for everyone! Games from 2-99! I always have a great time if Im with just adults or with family. Pam loves to give to the community! And it really shows at the WOW!Zone. The homemade food & soups at the WOW!Zone are to die for! My son loves to play in the arcade. Thanks for the food & fun!

This is a great place to visit with family and friends. We took our 2 year old and she had a great time! The food we had for lunch was awesome and because we went on a Sunday our daughter ate free! Over all I would recommend it!

Good food, fair prices, great service. Our large group of 20 adults and children (hockey team) had room to sit together, received our meals hot and within a few minutes of each other. The boys had a blast playing games and winning prizes. Plenty of parking, easy to find and was a great place for us to hang out between games.

One of the best establishments in the Mankato area for bowling, mini golf and laser tag. They have a small arcade and food and drinks available. The pizza is really good. They have some awesome specials that rotate. We did the unlimited bowling, mini golf and laser tag for 13$ a person. It ran from 5pm to 8pm. It was great bang for buck. I recommend checking this place out!

The WOW Zone is a great place for fun for any age! Whether its bowling, games, company outings, business meetings or fundraising they have it all! friendly staff too! Pam and Allison go out of their way to make their establishment the go to place for fun in Mankato!

Ive been to WOW Zone with my family a few times and the kids always have a good time. I just went recently with one of my teams from work as part of our team building day and had a blast. Great deal for bowling as a group and laser tag. They were super friendly and helpful to find us the best deal and gave us some extra time on the lanes!!

Awful mini golf course.. a good chunk of the arcade games were faulty and with the high prices per game thats just rude honestly. Dont bring your kids here there is plenty of other places to go

This is a mixed review. The bowling and food part of wow zone are great! Deserve 5 stars. However, the kids game and arcade area deserves only 2 if that. I was just there recently (3/4/18) and had a great time with family and friends bowling. I decide to take my kid and play some of the games. I was very disappointed in the lack of general maintenance on a lot of the machines. The ball drop games for example had multiple balls stuck in various places. Meaning that the belt that fed the drop had balls missing on the belt. It would only advance one ball spot and take your credit. Even if there was no ball there. The price for most of the machines we were able to play on was pretty high. With many taking a whole Dollar to play. I didnt bother with any refunds and just chalked it up to an experience. Overall Id have to say its a great place to eat or bowl! Just take caution in the game zone.

Very nice entertainment center (bowling, arcade games, pool, laser tag, miniature golf). Very nice bar and grill. Ample parking. Handicap accessible.

Ok service, Ok place, the bad part is that if you use a credit or debit card they may charge your cards multiple times. I recently visited and used my debit card only to find that it had been charged 4 times the following day for over double what it should have been. The manager, although nice, had a hard time resolving the issue after first stating that it was only pending charges (it wasnt) and they would fall off the account. Then, rather than cancel the incorrect charges she processed a refund (which takes days to get) for the incorrect amount. The amount of time spent dealing with something that should have been simple (or ideally never occurred at all) is not worth the time to visit this place. But I can relax now because Ive been informed that the manager is certain that their employees wouldnt steal and they will make it correct. Thank goodness.

Fun place for the whole family. Fun for all ages!

We were there for a family Thanksgiving. They had all the the main foods, Turkey, Ham, mashed potatoes, gravey. dressing, cranberries, Green beans baked with onions, rolls . . . . Good food and the kids had a blast with the games and stuff. Think they do Easter also. Great venue.

Had my sons 1 birthday there, and they were fantastic! Party started at 12, I called at about 9 and ordered the pizzas I wanted and asked they be done at 1230, and they were all ready right on time. They placed them in the buffet style warmer just outside the room for our guest to get without taking up space in the room. Joey was the employee helping us and I give him 10 stars! Very helpful, funny and nice 😊 defiantly be doing more birthdays there!

I was very disappointed on the prices of all foods for the bowlers

Good atmosphere its bowling you can have drinks you can have pizza theyve got a decent dining area and be careful some of the video games and well take your money they do need to step their game up in that department otherwise good place Ill be back

Had a great time here. The food was great and very reasonably priced. Staff was very nice. It was very clean and was a ton of fun! The games are well kept and clean. Great place for teens to go during the day and the adults at night.
