Bowling, Laser Tag & Arcade Games

At Colonial, we have made sure there is something for every person in the group, regardless of age, energy level, or what they are in the mood for. Here is the full range of what Yardville residents find when they walk through our doors.

Cosmic Blacklight Bowling

Twenty-four USBC-certified lanes, full cosmic blacklight, every operating hour, every day of the week. We run no leagues and block no lane time for competitive use, which means Yardville groups always walk into a fully available facility with the atmosphere dialed up from the start.

Jurassic Quest Laser Tag

Our laser tag arena fits up to 20 players per session and the full experience takes about 15 minutes each. It is open to all ages and works as a standalone walk-in activity or as part of any party or group package. For Yardville families with a mix of ages in the group, laser tag has a way of becoming the common ground that everyone finds they love despite their initial skepticism.

80+ Arcade & Redemption Games

We have dedicated approximately 3,500 square feet to more than 80 skill-based arcade and redemption games with variable-ticket prizes. The skill-based format makes every visit feel like progress rather than just spending. Every Friday we run an arcade happy hour — check this page for current hours — which has made it a reliable draw for Yardville residents making the short trip up Route 1 for an afternoon out.
