Bowling, Laser Tag & Arcade Games
We have packed more activity under one roof than anywhere else in Mercer County. Here is the full lineup waiting for you at Colonial Bowling & Entertainment.
Cosmic Blacklight Bowling
Our 24 USBC-certified bowling lanes run under full cosmic blacklight from the moment we open to the moment we close, every single day. We run no leagues, which means every lane is available for open play, walk-ins, and private bookings at any time of day. The atmosphere never dips.

Jurassic Quest Laser Tag
Our Jurassic Quest laser tag arena takes up to 20 players per session and welcomes all ages. Each game takes approximately 15 minutes to play and is available as a standalone walk-in activity or bundled into any birthday or group package. It is fast, physical, and the kind of activity that always ends with someone demanding a rematch.
80+ Arcade & Redemption Games
Our arcade stretches across approximately 3,500 square feet and features more than 80 skill-based games with variable-ticket redemption prizes. This is not a passive token-drop setup. Our fully-licensed skill-based licensing structure is genuinely rare in New Jersey and keeps the competition real. Every Friday we run an arcade happy hour — check the website for current hours.
Doc's Bar & Grill
Doc's is our full-service restaurant and sports barcade, and it is open to everyone, bowlers and non-bowlers alike. Our kitchen turns out eclectic platters designed for sharing amongst friends and family. We have all the classics like Wings, Tenders, Loaded Waffle Fries, Sliders and Pizza plus newer items from around the world like Bao Buns, Tacos, Samosas and Empanadas. And what meal would be complete without something sweet like our new Marshmallow Nutella Pizza or some Funnel Fries!
Behind the bar we run 12 rotating beer taps, 120+ spirits, handcrafted cocktails, specialty mocktails with Ritual Zero Proof alternatives, wine, and bottled beers. QR code ordering delivers everything straight to your lane so your game never has to stop.
Private VIP Suite
Our Private VIP Suite is a 4,000+ square foot fully private event space featuring 4 dedicated bowling lanes, a 250 square foot LED video wall, multiple 80" OLED TVs, two unlimited Skee-Ball machines, an electric fireplace, a private bar with a dedicated in-room bartender, and a private restroom. It holds up to 130 guests and is available every day of the week for birthday parties, corporate events, milestone celebrations, and group outings.
Parties & Corporate Events in Lawrenceville, NJ
We do not just hand you a room and wish you luck. Every Birthday and VIP event at Colonial comes with a dedicated host, a private space, and full food and beverage catering from Doc's Bar & Grill. Here is what we offer for groups of every size and occasion.
Birthday Parties
Our birthday packages for kids and adults are available at per-person rates with a minimum of 10 guests. Each package includes a private party room, a dedicated host, bowling (or alternate activity like Laser Tag), food, and additional activity options. Our Kid's VIP and adult milestone packages use the Private VIP Suite and are available at flat-rate pricing. Outside birthday cakes are welcome when you book a Kid’s Birthday or VIP package.
Corporate Events & Team Building
We are one of the top corporate event destinations in Mercer County. Our Private VIP Suite Corporate Package covers 2 hours of private lounge access, bowling for up to 50 guests, food platters, a private bar, and a dedicated host. For smaller groups, Happy Hour packages are available on weekday evenings for qualifying group sizes. Bowling and laser tag dissolve hierarchy and generate organic conversation, which makes them far more effective for team building than a catered conference room.
Group Outings & Youth Groups
Family reunions, social club nights, sports team celebrations, fundraiser events, school trips, and scout outings all have a home at Colonial. Youth group packages are available for larger groups, and our events team handles the coordination so the organizer can actually enjoy the day.
