David Small, owner of Bowl 32, says guests will be enthusiastic about all of the new and exciting attractions that have been added to his entertainment destination.
Ever since Bowl 32 originally opened in 1985, the goal has been to have as many fun attractions as possible. Small has maintained that goal since he took over the business in July of 2015, and says his new changes will appeal to a lot of people.
We have a new, huge, 67-piece game room with a redemption store, Small says. We also have a two-story laser tag arena, axe throwing, mini golf and, of course, 32 lanes of bowling.
Some of the fun games at Bowl 32 include The Walking Dead, Treasure Cove and Willy Crash.
Small enjoys seeing all of his customers. He says he and his wonderful staff love helping guests enjoy birthday parties, family gatherings and corporate team-building events that put big smiles on his guests faces.
We have a ton of returning and loyal customers, which is wonderful, he says. I think what makes us a success is that were a one-stop family entertainment destination. We have something for every age of the family, and we really are able to provide fun for everyone.
Small notes that the new arcade and redemption store is a huge favorite with guests at Bowl 32.
Not only do the kids enjoy it, but its great to see the parents right there in the mix, playing and laughing with them, Small says. Our redemption store also has the big-kid prizes like Yeti coolers, wine glasses, poker-chip sets, tools, etcetera. What big kid wouldnt want to play the games and take home one of those awesome prizes?
Small has his own personal list of favorite things to do at Bowl 32.
I truly enjoy putting a smile on everyones face, Small says. Thats truly my favorite thing – watching those kids eyes get big like saucers as they walk around and enjoy the activities.
The pizza at Bowl 32 is also a hit.
Our Big Dawg Pizza is very popular, Small says. Its a different concept than most pizza places. All our toppings are whole instead of chopped and diced. Our pepperoni is the size of a hockey puck. My favorite pizza is the called the Mutt. Its half of our signature sauce and half of our signature sweet and tangy barbecue sauce, with extra cheese, pepperoni, red onions, pulled pork and pickle spears. Yes, we have pickles on a pizza. I encourage people to try it. Its incredible.
Other popular pizza choices with dog-inspired names include the Golden Retriever, with signature California sweet sauce and a cheese blend, and the Canine, with a signature sauce and several different meats.
Other hit menu items include the Stromboli and Meatball Sub.
Derek Fernandez of Indianapolis says he loves the chicken wings at Bowl 32.
They have 12 different sauces, and I love the Carolina Gold Tangy Mustard and the Garlic Pepper Boom Boom sauce, Fernandez says. They are just absolutely delicious.
Fernandez adds that his whole family has enjoyed visiting Bowl 32.
The kids love it because there are just so many fun games to play, he says. They also love the bowling and the two-story laser tag area. My wife and I love the food and just being able to relax with the whole family.
Leah Newton of Carmel likes the wide variety of activities.
My kids love bringing their friends and I think the prices are very fair, Newton says. Some of the kids love to bowl, and others like the games and the laser tag. I feel like there is something for everyone here, and the food is fantastic. The pizza and salads are delicious. I recommend Bowl 32 to a lot of people. You really cant beat it, and its a quick drive from a lot of different places. I love coming to Noblesville.
Small is also a big Noblesville fan. He says he enjoys both living and working in the city.
Noblesville is a wonderful place to raise a family, and we are very proud to be an integral part of the community, and provide so many families with a safe place to have fun and make memories, Small says.
Small has plans for the future, but he is mum about the details for now.
I can tell you this much – everyone will enjoy our next addition, he says.
