About this business

Although our location was built after Bill & Jack Gerlach returned from World War II; however, we say that Gerlach's Bowling Center opened in 1919. The original 4 bowling lanes in Lapeer opened in 1919 above the current Oddfellows building and Bill & Jack worked there before they left for the war. Even though our name was Lapeer Recreation until the late 1980s everyone refer to us as Gerlach's, so a name change to reduce confusion made sense. When Bill Gerlach's son, Daniel and his wife Vicki, started to take ownersh... read more

My and my family have been going to Gerlach's for years, we take the kids during the week. On Fridays and Saturdays we have a great time with friends. Great open bowling hours/Great Rates. LOVE the new addition.

It is unfair to a local business to rate them based on a personal grudge. When you rate a business it should be solely on your experience. For some one to verbally bash 1 person, because of a grude they have against them, is rude and uncalled for. That other review forgets to state how much that business has done for this town in the past 90 years. It forgets that if it weren't for Gerlach's kids wouldn't have a place to bowl, high schoolers wouldn't have a place to practice, and special needs wouldn't have a place to belong... read more

I have been bowling here for many years. I started with open bowling and since then I now bowl on two leagues. I find this bowling center to be very clean and also I feel that they meet customer satisfaction with exceptional friendliness. After reading the first comment, geared towards the Gerlach family, I truly feel like this may have been a disgruntle employee. I see both Vicky and Natalie twice a week, while bowling. I have never experienced anything less than what I provide to my customers as a business owner. My only c... read more

I would not recommend this place for bowling and especially not a bowling party. We had one there this weekend and the lanes were warped some so the bowling itself was okay for the kids. The party part was no good though, although the room was decent. The pizza was awful frozen pizzas ran through an oven, the service was terrible. They wanted us done bowling at 1 because our food would be done. I would assume the room would be ready to eat when we were done bowling being that we finished 15 minutes late. We had pizza, but no... read more
