What Our Customers Say

"We visited for a school event that had a larger-than-expected turnout. When we got there, the employee behind the counter was very apologetic that there weren't any lanes available, but also helped us figure out a solution. We had a great time bowling as a family! The lanes were clean and well-maintained. They have new bowling balls with the new ownership and they are color coded and clearly marked with both the weight and grip size: "X Small, Small, Medium, Large, and X Large" That really helped when looking for a ball to use! We had a blast and will plan to come back!"

"I've gone bowling at this location for new years with my family and off and on since I was little. This last new year's eve I was incredibly impressed by not only the updates to the place (which are really looking nice), but by the service, the staff, and just the general vibe of safety and cleanliness. You can tell a lot of love and care has gone into Victory Lanes since the change from Sparetime!"

"I go for the food most the time. Hands down to the Short order cook Lilly Love the burgers the patties just taste like good quality meat. Clean, friendly have never been disappointed visiting this place."

"This is a great place to go for gatherings such as birthday parties and graduation parties. We held a graduation party for Dixie on June 7th 2025. She loved it as her family and friends showed up for her day. I would suggest this place to anyone who wants a clean and friendly environment. Ask for Robin. She will hook you up for the gathering you want have."

"The old Spare Time Lanes has new ownership! VICTORY LANES, the new owners are doing a great job. A whole new look. Great changes and more to come. They are worth checking out."
