Reviews for Kingpin Crown
Kelly Ngoh
VERY DISAPPOINTING visit to Kingpin Melbourne. It was crowded yesterday and we attended to the claw machine as we usually do, spent a couple of hundred dollars and managed to picked it up, we were suppose to get the prize but it got stuck like a system error. Told a staff, took them 15 minutes or more to come only to tell us, we need to pick another one up to push it. Ill let the videos and pictures explain itself and you can decide if it’s a players fault that it didn’t get our points. Then we moved to the axe game, not only it couldn’t stick like how we used to play but it always aims not as what was hit. It just took away all the fun. Several machines when we wanted to play was not working properly but no signs or maintenance was to be done. Several staffs were rude, and very adamant about not wanting to help us because it isn’t a system error but how the game suppose to work. We have been there for the same games, we clearly know what should usually work and what shouldnt. The only staff that was really accommodating and polite was Melody. She checked our points and helped us with the prize redemption, not sure why but when she first scanned our points it came out different when she scanned the second time, as stated from another review, there is clearly no way that without redeeming anything points go disappear. Please do better Kingpin. PS : She sent an email but did not called us back. It’s been a month and we haven’t receive her call back even though she said she will call us back.

We held my son’s birthday party at Kingpin Crown and the party host Ella was absolutely wonderful, friendly, helpful and attentive the whole time. Everything was organised perfectly: games, food, seating, and all the little details. The kids had a blast and loved every minute. A huge thank you to Tahj, Ella and the team for helping us create such a memorable celebration. Highly recommend Kingpin Crown for any birthday or group event! 🎉

I used the Ultimate Holiday Pass, which included laser tag, bowling, and arcade credits, with my child. The facilities were spacious, and the food we ordered for the bowling games was delicious. Thanks to Joel's meticulous attention to detail, we had a truly enjoyable time. I will definitely be back again.

Lovely Miette was so helpful with us, my son with autism wanted to bowl and no lanes available, she gave us a game of pool and set us up to play darts instead. This was a great solution and made our visit so much fun. She was very kind to him which also made his day.

The customer service was too good to not leave a review. I took my friends for bowling and arcade games. It was super fun and we won some soft toys too. There was a miscommunication which led to our food being delayed, but the staff were great and even insisted on giving us a refund for one of the meals. Thank you for being kind to us
