Best Bowling Lanes in Kansas City and Surrounding Areas

Bowling is a fun activity not only for children but for adults as well. However, how do you find a decent bowling alley that isn't dingy or grimy. The following is a list of great bowling establishments that you can take your children too and only be concerned with the fun you are having and not the shady characters next to you.

Park Lanes - Park Lanes in Lenexa, Kansas, is a great family oriented bowling alley. They have bowling leagues for all ages, tournaments, and can be set up for parties. They keep the area clean and the food is standard bowling lane fare, however it isn't cardboard. The leagues are not expensive and neither is the bowling allowing you to visit often. They also send out coupons to the local area which allows you to bowl for free.

Pin-Up Bowl - This crazy take on bowling is located at a large outside shopping center called the Legends, in Kansas City, KS. This bowling alley not only has a swanky interior set up for adults it also has a Martini Bar. The bowling fare although not spectacular is still a step up from a regular bowling alley and actually cheap. They have toasted raviolis and Spinach Artichoke Dip as well. Where the expense comes in is with the drinks they average $7 - $10. However, at a bar you get this as well. They also have pool tables for those who get tires of playing in the retro bowling lanes. This is a great experience for any adult or even family. Days are usually best for families while evening you may actually have to reserve your bowling lane.

Lucky Strike Lanes - This is a vintage inspired bowling alley that has a plethora of art and a delicious restaurant within. However the creative art is displayed on giant sized plasma screens at the end of each lane creating a updated vintage look. The inside is set up more like you would see in an older 50's bowling alley. However the food is anything but retro. They have some delectably creative menu items like Tuna Lollipops, Tomato and Cheese S'mores, and Toad in the Hole. They do not let the grungies in so dress decent and you can bowl, come in with sweats on and they will turn you away. All ages are welcome however adults will get the biggest kick out of the great atmosphere, this is a definite not miss. This bowling alley is located in the Power and Light District in Kansas City, MO.

When bowling you don't think plasma screens and hummus however now the newest lanes have become a culinary adventure and its own experience without even involving the bowling. So don't dismiss an afternoon or even of bowling out of hand. These lanes show that not only can bowling be fun but it can be sexy, too!
