Round1 bowling & arcade brings high-energy fun to menlo park mall

EDISON, NJ – Menlo Park Mall has officially leveled up its entertainment offerings with the grand opening of Round1 Bowling & Arcade, a massive indoor complex blending bowling, billiards, karaoke, arcade gaming, and dining under one roof.

The new entertainment hub, which opened this weekend, adds a vibrant dose of activity to one of Edison’s busiest shopping destinations. The sprawling venue features bowling lanes, private karaoke rooms, billiard tables, and more than 250 crane and arcade machines — including several exclusive imports from Japan rarely found elsewhere in the U.S.

Round1 also serves a variety of snacks, Japanese favorites, and beverages, including cocktails from a full-service bar. Guests can enjoy both family-friendly outings and late-night entertainment, offering an all-in-one space for recreation and relaxation.
