  1. The Alley has evenings and weekend times available.Every night except Friday and Saturday you can play until 10:00 p.m.

    Seneca Bowl is on the SW side of town and has bowling until 10:00 p.m. every night except for Tuesday’s as well.

  2. This is a great idea but the only bowling alley on the west side of Wichita is limited to 11-4 Monday through Friday … I’m at work during those times so it doesn’t do me a dang bit of good. Any way you can get them to expand those times? Maybe add a Sunday or at least move it back to 6 or 7? Even on my short days I’m at work til 3. Would take me 30 minutes to pick up my daughter and get to the West Acres Bowling alley, then I’m paying my part and shoes for 30 minutes. Not even worth it. I don’t have the gas to go all the way out east.

    1. Great news! I went to the bowling alley this morning so I asked them about this. They said they have no plans to offer evening or weekend times because they have leagues bowling then, BUT – you only have to be there before 4 p.m. To redeem your Kids Bowl Free coupon; you don’t have to be finished by 4. I hope that helps!

      I got two strikes this morning. 🙂 For me that’s good, LOL.
