Reviews for Rainbow Lanes Family Fun Center in Clayton, NC
Let me start off by saying that I've been going to this bowling alley/arcade since I was a kid. I'm 30 now, so I've spent a fair... share of time there. Rainbow Lanes management is making some questionable business decisions in my opinion: Hourly rates arethe ONLY option on weekends now, are charged PER PERSON, and prices are the same regardless of if it's my 4 year old who MIGHTbowl half a game, my 7 year old who will bowl a game or two before losing interest, or me who will bowl for a full hour. To bowlone game with my two kids though, it would have been over $40. That's not happening, so I won't bring the kids back until thatchanges. Instead of making $20-25 for us to bowl for 20 mins, you made $0. Also worth mentioning that the arcade now requires a"Dave and Busters" type preloaded card that uses varying amount of credits per game to make sure you lose track of how muchyou've spent. The upgrades are cool, but not when it becomes much less affordable for your customers. Melanie is fantastic andwill hopefully make some adjustments to make it more family friendly again. Read more
We took our church youth group on 9/3/22 and they had a blast. The food was very good and the prices were reasonable. Some of... the staff could have been little more cheerful is my only complaint. The staff that worked on the food side were very nice andfriendly. Read more
Had some fun. It was clean. Lots of fun. Didn't have to wait long for a lane. The staff was friendly, the prices are great for a... fun place. Just the ball selection was a little poor. Finger sizes for the heavy balls was for small handed people only.???????? Read more

Love this place, my family has been going here for years. Arcade has a lot of upgrades. My kids had so much fun on the indoor... ride. Always a great time. Read more
Wheelchair accessible. This place was so much fun. It can be pricey if you are bowling just ONE game. You can actually pay less... by playing more, With about 30 lanes available, there is plenty of room for everyone! It costs just under $10person and thenjust .25 for each additional game. This includes shoe rentals. BYOS *(Bring Your Own Socks *^). Each lane has seats and digitaltouch screen to record scores. Your friends and fam can enjoy selecting game score themes and then add additional options likegutter bumpers, options for right or left handers, can add fun profile pics for each player. The fowl line is sensitive andbuzzes if you cross the line. Fowls negate any points made on that roll so be careful not to cross the line. The animation onscreen for fowling is sure to get an onslaught of laughter and jokes from your crew. You can even form teams and can chat withfolks in other lanes. That was fun.They have an area for bowlers to choose the proper weight ball and there are so manyavailable for every weight preference. They have a cafe with breakfast, lunch, dinner and beer on tap options. The entire placewas sparkling clean including the bathroom. Scott was the gentleman at the desk who explained how it all worked and explainedpricing deals. My mom didn't realize that my husband brought all of our socks from home to use and attempted to return hersweaty socks to him. lol He was extremely cordial about the mixup. (Sorry, Mr Scott.) Hopefully they'll let us come back afterthat. hehe. There is additional fun to be had for kids who get bored of balls and pins. There is a rather extensive arcade roomincluding a small indoor rollercoaster. There are about a dozen well-cared for pool tables and massage chairs. For baby bowlers,there are dragon tail ball slopes for kids who cannot hold the heavy ball. The children's sized balls are 6lbs. This summer theyhave some free bowling options for kids. *(See pics). Highly recommend this place. Will most definitely b Read more
You would think from the images this place is old and outdated. This is not the case. I was very impressed with how updated the... lanes and technology was. Everything was clean and kept in order. I don't go bowling very often but the affordability and homeyatmosphere I experienced makes me want to go more than ever before. 5 stars for the best kept bowling I've ever been to. Read more
My review is solely based on bowling. This is an updated bowling alley. It was clean, employees were pleasant and the... experience was great. We brought family from out of town and they all had a fantastic time. We will definitely return for ournext bowling outing. Read more
