圓山育樂中心 - Section 5

Great service. Clean facility..

Large old bowling center. The mashines do not always count right. Luckily when we were there it was mainly to my advantage. But it is reasonable priced and worth a visit if you like to bowl. Just don't be frustrated if you opponents get an extra point or two...

Bowling alley time machine. Many people complain that its old and needs renovation, but that old feeling is exactly what makes this place special special. Bowling here is like going back 40 years in time. Great place for a party, u can bring your own food and drinks.

Haven't seen any other bowling alley in Taipei city. You can rent a pair of bowling shoes. I ran into trouble like stucking ball twice during two games. The facility is not maintained well though, anyway you can enjoy it if you never mind such a tiny thing.

Has a really awesome handrail slide. Two of them even. That's about as much fun as you can find here. The lanes are so worn out. Don't know if they even wax the lanes at this point. Lane 35 has issues counting and it will think you hit four pins give or take even when you completely miss.

We had a great time here！ it’s a convenient place, which is only five minutes walk from MRT Jiantan station. Moreover, you don’t need to bring anything, you can rent everything here. However, the calculation machine usually has some mistakes because it has been used for a long time.

Sorry to give a poor rating! There aren't many bowling alleys around Taipei, so I feel bad saying not to go here, but don't go here. We drove 30 minutes to go bowl and we had to switch lanes 3 times because all of the machines were broken (always counting pins incorrectly, getting stuck, etc). Everything is old. We cancelled our second game and spent a little money on the air hockey, pingpong, and basketball games instead. Our family has been to this place several times in the past 20 years but I don't think we'll go again unless we hear that they're putting enough money into the place that the machines are working properly again. Otherwise, it ends up being a frustrating waste of time and money.

A bowling alley for relaxed fun times where you can have some drinks, some snacks, and do something active as a group or family. It is decidedly not for the would-be pro in your life who needs pristine conditions. Pros and cons to follow, but minus one star because the facility is old and has seen better days. Expect your ball MIGHT have return issues, the score machine MIGHT malfunction, or some other small issue MIGHT arise. The staff keep an eye on things are are helpful in keeping the good times rolling, and while I've had many great, glitch-free games here, sometimes things aren't perfect. Pros: The place is very affordable per-game, especially during off peak hours. Rental shoes are in noticeably nice condition, go to US size 13, and are cheap. A massive assortment of alley balls in a number of weights. Drinks aren't horridly over priced considering how far a convenience store is from here ($100 Taiwan Gold Medal (600 ml), for example). You can bring your own food and drink. There's a small arcade area (air hockey and basketball machine). Lanes work well enough you can get some ball control / spin. There is parking if you're playing. Families who just want to have some fun together may find it ideal and low stress. Staff have put up with enough antics that they're patient and know how and when to step in. Cons: The staff have put up with enough antics, from the customers and the alley itself. Low turnover means everyone uses the same few middle lanes which means plenty of wear and tear. Sometimes you want to slide as your roll and you don't slide. The lanes are not necessarily in condition for you to control your ball trajectory at pro levels. The score systems, ball return chutes, etc. are all limping to the finish line. You'll likely need the staff to step in to help once or twice during your time there. Convenience stores are far away, and your outside shoes are emotionally farther. They don't throw 90's style cosmic bowling parties with a focus on nostalgic adult bowlers, but the place is definitely designed for it. Closes (relatively) early to be a proper stop on an adults night out. Overall its a fun spot for groups or families to be out together without breaking the bank. Recommended for casual bowling. If you are serious about perfect games and your form on a 7/10 split you may find other alleys more suitable.
