Whitestone Lanes

This bowling alley only accepts cash, credit cards are not accepted, which I always wonder about whether they pay taxes. Bumpers are available for children ten and under. There are about 24 lanes, and the music adds a fun atmosphere. No outside food or beverages are allowed. The cost is $15.15 per person. The lanes are well-maintained, and the overall experience is enjoyable for families and friends. Parking is convenient, and the staff is friendly and helpful. It is right off of the highway by the Whitestone Bridge, and shopping center. That said, the facility is very outdated—we initially thought it was closed when we arrived. There is parking available outside.

Super easy to get to and plenty of parking. They do have some great specials during the week and weekend, as long as it's not a holiday. The staff is super nice and accommodating. They were very courteous to our kids with special needs.

We recently visited Whitestone Lanes and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. We accidentally purchased tickets for 4 people instead of 6, which we quickly realized but were told we couldn’t change. The staff stopped our game twice to make comments about our shoes, even though others around us were not required to wear them. This inconsistency made us feel singled out and uncomfortable. We also felt the staff could have handled the situation more professionally, as the interruptions were frustrating. I hope they review their policies to ensure fair and respectful treatment of all customers. Had a very negative experience with one of the staff members. We felt the entire process was unfair, and the staff member was unprofessional, particularly when interacting with people who had families. I was extremely disappointed with the service and would not recommend this place to others. I’ve added a photo to show the staff member.

I am from Canada I went here while visiting some relatives and enjoyed it so much. Customer service was amazing and they let me bring in some outside food they told me to quickly finish because I wasn't familiar with the area and scared to eat in my car! They have nice shoes, a good place to bowl. I'd give this place 10-10 stars if I had the chance.

This is a pretty decent bowling alley. I've come here to bowl since I was a kid. Recently I played a few games and it was 25$ for 2 hours. Not a bad deal.

Truly horrible customer service, We paid for 1 games for 2 people (Using the free game per person coupon) and I came to asked can I add another person for the next game. And I ask is there another game? He immediately gets an attitude with me, putting his finger in my face calling me a liar that I did Not listen to him when he explain it. I specified that I understood him and that I want to add another person and pay for another game. He continues to give an attitude and with me and went back to his “important phone call” talking shit as we were still playing. This does Not embody the 4.1 review this bowling alley has. I use to come here all the time as a kid and everyone was always respectful and patient with their customer I don’t know what changed but truly appalling service.

I am not local or will have the ability to frequent this house however I wanted to leave a review. I bowled here as this was a halfway point for PA/CT teams for a UBA world championship series tag team match and the house both teams agreed to bowl as a meeting point. From the outside , you likely would think this place may not be the best, however when you enter the facility is very clean, has many lanes, synthetic well kept lanes and approaches. The staff were phenomenal and also agreed to oil our pair of lanes , which was a very nice gesture for our UBA match. Two hours of bowling is $50 and for NY prices we thought that was a decent deal. The only downside with the building being older there is not central air conditioning and they utilize many portable air conditioners which cannot keep up with the large space. I imagine it would be tough to bowl on a 90+ degree day here. Otherwise I recommend this place for anyone in queens .

Multi-generation family business led by owner Marco. Great staff, friendly, hardworking cleaning crew, patient customer service. Nice low key spot.
