I went to Flamingo Bowl during the Easter Holiday weekend with my young daughters only to find out that their non-displayed hidden "policy" states that a child must be under the age of 6 or the height of the counter in order to use the bowling lane bumpers. My youngest daughter is 8 years old and was not enjoying the game at all. Who trys to enjoy the game of bowling with endless gutter balls?

I asked the useless lady at the counter about setting up the lane bumpers. She referred me to the Manager who stated that Flamingo Bowl's policy prohibited any one above the age of 6 to bowl with the bumpers. She said that customers in the past had damaged the bumpers and therefore, my family and I could not use them. They also refused to refund my money after playing one game. I asked for the bumpers after the first game and the manager stated that she could NOT refund my money but instead give me a bowling pass. Why would I want to go back to a place that has these absurd non-displayed bowling and refund policies? After all, you are paying for services that are not being rendered by the business.

The manager also told me that she tells her kids to run and throw the ball down the middle of the lane that way the ball won't go down into the gutters. I asked her if she wanted me to tell my 8 year old daughter to place herself in danger by doing so and she stated that wasn't what she was saying.

If my daughter did try the manager's kids methods of bowling, what would of happened if my daughter would have crossed the line, slipped on the bowling lane and hurt herself? Would Flamingo Bowl be reponsible? The manager stated they were not responsible for accidents!!

Shouldn't bowling be a sport that a family and kids should enjoy? It is, but not at Flamingo Bowl!!!

Please if you have children over the age of 6 and at least 3 feet tall, take them some where else to bowl unless they are 300 scoring masters in the making!!!

this bowling alley is better than galaxy in brownsville...but the prices are ridiculous. the pro shop is the only decent pro shop in the RGV and that is the only reason i ever go there. honestly, make the trip to creasey's if you want to bowl in a nice, fun atmosphere‎

Flamingo Bowl is located in Mcallen, Texas. It is a bowling alley and is a popular location. The prices are satisfactory and they also have an arcade in a room adjacent to the bowling alley. There is also a billiard hall next to the bowling ...

Flamingo Bowl is one of the few places to bowl in the RGV. It is popular, and on weekends it is especially crowded with teens. They have an arcade room and there is now a pool hall adjacent to the bowling alley. The prices are average. They allow smoking inside the building.

I have been coming to bowl at this alley for years. It is a great place to meet up with friends or bring the family. There is also a midnight bowl which is always fun. They offer reasonable prices for games and offer hours of family ...
