We are lucky with some great venues to bowl in the Des Moines area! For those that live closer to the Valley Junction area, check out Val Lanes if you haven't already.
They have a ton of lanes and all of the normal stuff you can expect from a bowling alley like bumpers and ramps for kids, a cool arcade area, a bar and food.
We were actually pretty impressed with the food options. A big selection and surprisingly good quality. I'll warn you, the french fries are addictive. Not too greasy and crispy on the outside. Yum.
They have all electronic scoring systems and automated lanes. The alley is clean and the staff is friendly. Our kids had a great time even if they only lasted a few strings before moving on the the arcade area.
While we haven't attended a birthday party here, the price looks reasonable at $9.99 per kid and the brochure says you can bring in your own food. They also offer leagues and have a store right there to buy all sorts of gear.
They had shoes little enough for our youngest bowler (super cute by the way) which was a toddler size 6.
Tip: Ask for a lane near the arcade since the arcade area is in viewing distance of the lanes, so if the kids go to play you can still bowl or sit at your table and chat and still keep an eye on the kiddos.
