Yesterday, my husband and I celebrated our son's 10th Birthday. Humdingers is new and fresh. Of course every body had an awesome time. The problem was the price. If you have a lot of kids, you are paying about 1k.
First, they should offer packages vs per child. Second, the Birthday child should not pay. I had the bowling and Arcade package. I added the Lazer Maze and each child only could go once. I felt like that was a waste of money.
We paid 37.50 per child for 21 kids. I feel like something else could have been added. Either have the Birthday child free or allow them to play in the Lazer Maze longer.
When we went into the party room, although the kids did work hard, it was unorganized. No plates, spoons, cups.
Lastly, the party organizer coordinator was on campus since I saw her walking around. She did not check on us to see how things were going. This is a new place and she should be checking to see how things could be better.
All in all, my son had a great time. However, when people ask me about Humdingers, I will be advising that this place is expensive.

It is very expensive!!!!!!! I thought a bowling party would be great for the teens. They were not ready for us at 1pm on a friday to eat lunch. They would not book my party of 13 ahead of time because it was 5 days prior. I went a la cart and was way too much..The place is clean and well lit.

Absolutely awesome family and friendly place. Took my son here for his birthday party the staff was amazing! The food was great! The kids loved the pizza and I have to admit the pizza is very good. Bowling, Batting cages and tons of video games! The adults enjoyed themselves very much as well as it is a BYOB establishment with huge TV's to watch any sporting event on. Overall we had a great experience here and we will definitely be coming back. On a side note the place is extremely clean including the bathrooms which is a huge plus!

My wife and I took our kids here a few weekends ago and we were completely blown away by what an amazing experience we had. Humdingers has a happy, buzzing, family atmosphere with endless games to kids to play and yummy eats for Mom and Dad. They have Batting Cages, Bowling and a huge Arcade. I'd say the main thing that really exceeded our expectation was the food...wow! Boneless Wings and the Humburgers did it for us while the kids shared a pretzel. This is a definite recommend for families of all ages!

The start of our party experience here was TERRIBLE, thanks entirely to their manager on duty.
She threatened to take our food away and call the police!! WOW. Unbelievable.
We held a birthday party for approximately 25 children and many of the parents also came. As we always do, we brought our own food - a birthday cake and light snacks for the adults.
We also purchased the pizza and ice cream from Humdingers.
Every other party venue that we have used like this one allows this, so we didn't foresee a problem. That, and nothing was in writing, and we weren't informed up front. A suggestion was made that we could buy their food if we choose to, that's all.
Then the fireworks began. She was totally abusive and she disrespected many of the adults with her outrageous behavior.
I doubt that Humdinger's would want an employee of this caliber being their face to the customer. We ultimately reached an accord, and the party started without further incident.
The venue itself was a good choice. The children weren't aware of Manager Nasty, and they all had a good time. The hosts that ran the party did a great job with the children and the parents. As a matter of fact, I'd say that they were a cut above. They were very hands on and very helpful.
The bowling and arcade beforehand were excellent, and everyone had a good time.
Nowhere was Manager Nasty to be found when we were leaving - no apology, no offer of it was a misunderstanding, no thank you for using our facility, etc. She needs help!
BTW, without this incident and without Manager Nasty, I'd have given this experience at least 4 stars.

We have been here several times. Love the place! Clean, very new and love the fact that it is a byob (with some strange rules but okay :-) The one thing I would say is please make reservations a possibility. For us it is a bit out of the way, at times we have gotten right in then other times there is 1 or 2 hour wait at which point we turn around and leave. With Lucky Strike taking reservations we are a little more inclined to try there but would definitely prefer Humdingers if reservations were made available! :-)

I was here for a friend's son's 8th birthday party and they did a fantastic job. Very efficiently they set up and managed the bowling. Then 20 unlimited minutes at the arcade. Then onto the party room where the parents had their food and the kids had theirs.
The thing that impressed me the most was how many employees there were at all times, making sure that things were running smoothly. Bravo on their excellent management of this party!

Came with the kids, who were off from school for the holiday. We waited for three and a half hours for a lane. We all enjoyed the bowling. Would visit again during non-peak hours.

Is this place geared more for children.. then adults?

It is geared for every age! We have a 12 lanes of string pin bowling, batting cages, arcade and a cafe. It is BYOB! Food must be purchased with the BYOB but you can eat and drink while bowling! We will collect all your BYOB (beer or wine only), put it in a bucket with ice and you can bring it up to the bowling lanes, or leave it at your table while you play games or hit in the cages. We also sell wine by the bottle if you do not have time to get your own! It would definitely be a fun place to go on a date!
