Palmeras Entertainment will open on Route 18

EAST BRUNSWICK – A family entertainment center has opened in the community with a bowling alley, movie theater and more under one roof.

Palmeras Entertainment recently opened at 1031 Route 18 South in Coral May Plaza. The establishment, located behind Arooga’s, is open Wednesday to Saturday from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

“There’s something for all ages,” said operations manager Steve Tarantini. “There’s a big bowling pin in front of the building, so people think it’s just bowling. It’s so much more than just bowling.”

The three-story, 50,000-square-foot facility features 19 bowling lanes, including eight hyperbowling lanes; arcades; Billiards; table football; Snookball; Shuffleboard and bocce ball. There are two golf simulators that also offer a variety of other sports, a 7D movie theater ride and food, Tarantini said.

The second floor is available for private events, Tarantini said. The space seats 100 or more people and features a stage, fireplace and bar for caterers.

On the third floor there are two rooms available for corporate and social events, as well as a bar for caterers.

“We hope to introduce additional community activities such as a bowling or hyperbowling league to the facility in the future,” Tarantini said.

The family-run company is owned by Steve’s father, Daniel Tarantini.

The Tarantini family lived in South River and Sayreville before settling in East Brunswick in the late 1980s. Steve is a 2010 graduate of East Brunswick High School.

“The idea grew over time,” said Steve Tarantini. “…The building was originally designed to be more of a mixed-use office building, but office space wasn’t doing so well at the time. They also wanted to do something more exciting and get more involved in the community.” My dad loves the area. It was a dream come true.
