Great bowling alley. Lots of lanes and other areas such as billiards and a small arcade. Birthday room so great for hosting parties. Affordable rates, clean and friendly staff as well.

We came here to enjoy bowling and celebrate a birthday. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. It was such a fun way to spend time with family!

I was hoping to go bowling with some friends this evening and we showed up at OBC at 6 pm. We noticed that there was a sign saying there was a private event, so we went in to double check if they were closed at 6 pm. We asked what appeared to be the manager about the event (heavy guy, brown hair, bearded), and his response was “yeah, that’s why we have a sign on the door. We’re closed, get out. ” So be it.
We went back later in the evening before OBC was scheduled to close (~9: 30 pm) because I had wanted to purchase a gift certificate to take my grandfather bowling another time. We had walked in and there was a young woman wiping down the counters. We asked if there was a chance I could make this purchase before closing time, and she said “I’ll see what I can do” before heading to the staff room. 30 seconds later, the same manager as before came out and said “we’re closed, get out. ”
All in all, this was an extremely unprofessional series of interactions with what seemed to be a senior staff member. Retail workers are entitled to treat customers the way they treat them, but this man was irrationally rude when we were respectful to him. If you wanted to make your business as distasteful as possible, hiring this guy to greet customers is a great way to start. I hope this isn’t reflective of OBC as a whole.

We spent a very good time for a friend's celebration. It’s a very good location and accessible with wheelchair. Washrooms were clean. Workers were very friendly and professional. I will highly recommend it for any kind of celebrations.

Thank you to Orleans bowling for an outstanding birthday bash! Very quick to reply upon booking and responsive leading up. All the staff day of the party were amazing and so welcoming to all the kids. To top it off a rave review on the pizza!

Friendly service. Clean and enjoyable place to bowl. Best one we've been to in Ottawa.

Great place to spend free time and to relax. Balls are not 'traditional' as Europeans are used to. They are small and all of the same size. It makes them suitable for children.

Super fun for everyone. The little kids and adults both loved the experience. Friendly staff, clean, fantastic food, and great prices all around. A great way to spend some time as a family. The automatic bumpers were great for the kids.
