One of the best parts of bowling is that even if you’re not great, it can still be a good time. These days, all bowling alleys have gutter bumpers (so no matter what, you can’t be that terrible), and most have food, a bar, music, and much more! That’s why a bowling outing is such an effortlessly fun activity for social events, date nights, family gatherings and even just something to do after work. So the next time you’re ready to hit the lanes, remember these local bowling alleys near Goodyear that know how to have a good time!
Bowlero Avondale | 1425 N Central Ave, Avondale, AZ 85323
Let’s clear one thing up before we dive into these great bowling alleys; bowling is no longer “just for the kids”! Take Bowlero Avondale for example. This alley, located less than 10 minutes from your home at Acero Estrella Commons, is a hub full of arcade games, pool tables, a bar and restaurant, and weekly specials! Did we mention tacos? Yes, they also have taco Tuesday’s with $2.88 games, $2.88 tacos, and much more. Add all of that to a whopping 40 bowling lanes, and you could spend hours chatting with friends in the lounge area, playing some games, enjoying some food and drinks from the sports bar, and overall having a great time! Bowlero Avondale is our type of bowling. 
Main Event Avondale | 10315 W McDowell Rd, Avondale, AZ 85392
It’s not called “Main Event” for no reason! Stretching beyond your typical idea of a bowling alley that might only have a few lanes and a drink station, Main Event Avondale has laser tag, video games, gravity ropes, shuffleboard, and a full-service restaurant and bar. It may actually be more of a challenge to pindown which of the many activities at Main Event is in fact, the “main event", but we think the 26 state-of-the-art bowling lanes speak for themselves. And while the other events make the experience all the more entertaining, the quality of the lanes speaks for themselves and makes it one of the best alleys in the Goodyear area!
Uptown Alley | 13525 N Litchfield Rd, Surprise, AZ 85379
The Uptown Alley may not be as close to home as Bolweo Avondale, but the 40 bowling lanes, high definition flat-screen TVs, virtual reality experiences, two-story laser tag (yes, two stories!) and the sports theater makes every minute of the drive worth it. Let’s break each of those down a little more; the 40 bowling lanes have a state-of-the-art scoring system and 15 HDTV’s to watch in between turns. Uptown Alley also has a multi-player, all-immersive VR experience where you and a group of friends can battle giant robots (among other games). Two-story laser tag doesn’t need much of an explanation other than it’s pretty “next level” if you ask us! And for the avid sports fans, catch the big game on the 10 ft projection screens at the Uptown Alley Sports Theater. Needless to say, this bowling alley is a "strike" for both kids and adults, as it truly has it all.
