Ward Parkway Lanes

It's still around! We had a good time bowling. I don't think I'm a fan of the facilities as it's very outdated. We were serviced with a smile and I enjoyed being there for celebration!

We came here for a friends birthday party on a Saturday afternoon. The place was packed! I really thought no one went to bowling alleys anymore. The staff was accommodating for our party and was able to help us with any questions. We got on our lane in time and has a blast. We were even able to set up decorations too.

I think it's safe to say bowling is the thing to do on a Friday night in the dead of winter! I cannot say this is the nicest bowling alley I've ever been to but if you're looking for nostalgia and cheap beer this is the place. The staff was incredibly kind especially for such a busy Friday night and the extra games made the wait for a lane a fun time! The place could use some updates and cleaning for sure but it just felt like all the other bowling alleys you loved as a kid!

Wonderful place to bowl. I bowl there once a week with my adult son who has Autism. Very welcoming, accommodating, and friendly. I highly recommend this place.

This is a WONDERFUL place. This was our second time here and the service was absolutely fantastic. The crowd isnt rowdy and the building is always clean. I would bring my kids here anytime.

I'm pretty shocked by the poor reviews for this place. We've been several times and have been so impressed by the super friendly staff, and how clean the place is. Yes it's old- but it's spotless. If you want a fancy hipster bowling alley, there are a few in town, but this is a dive-y neighborhood place that's been around for decades. It's got about 30 lanes, a good size game area, and a huge lounge with full bar, an air hockey table, a few foosball tables, and several pool tables. This time we came with a Groupon that got us 8 slices of pizza (it wasn't fancy, but it was hot, yummy, and served quickly,) ball & shoe rental for 5, and 2 hours of bowling. We bowled 3 games in a little over 2 hours and they didn't charge us any extra. They even cleared our table when we were finished eating. The whole staff was super nice. I think it might be KS/MO law anyway now, but it's so nice to come to a non-smoking bowling alley. I'd stayed away for a few years because the smoke smell was so gross and headache-inducing. But now it's actually a total pleasure to bowl and I don't go home in desperate need of a tobacco-eliminating shower/shampoo/clothes washing.

nice bowling alley with cosmic bowling at night. slow bad service made it hard for us to keep our gaming going..

Today we had a toddler and a kindergartener play some bowling hoping to have some fun... but that angry worker said otherwise our youngsters got the ball stuck in the middle of the lane and worker was mad and threatened to make us pay 2500$!! DO NOT GO HERE

Nice staff! Love the lanes and the pool tables. It's a mixed crowd but its as if the DJ only plays songs he likes. Never the top 90 or mixEd variety.

I love this place. It's not much to look at from the outside, and some of the interior could use a renovation to bring it into the 21st century, but what really matters is the bowling. And man is it good. The recent refresh of the scoring system has made all the difference. I remember coming here growing up with the old scoring machines that barely worked and the burnt-in big overhead TVs. As much as I miss those corny old graphics, the new scoring system is SO much better and easier to use. The lanes seem to be in great shape, the pinsetter machines all work and work quickly, and you can raise/lower your own bumpers now if you have kids with you. From a bowler's perspective, much improved, and much appreciated! Sure, the food isn't great - but it's a bowling alley. If you want good food, go across the street before you come here. Most of what you'll find here is your typical fried fare. The one thing I wish they did here was allow phone call-ins for open bowling. I know you can book by the lane, but I like to come in alone or with one or two people just to practice, so the by-lane reservation is way too pricey. It would be awesome if I could call in a few hours early, pay, secure my spot in line once the leagues finish, and then show up at 9 and get to bowling without joining the bottom of the list.
