Val Lanes Recreation Center

Went for the best Saturday night of my life. The dudes (Anthony and Cody) at the shoe rental were fast, knowledgable and top notch with a passion for bowling and service. Will be back. Making sure to use my crest white strips so my smile glows in the black lights forever.

Was in Des Moines last weekend for a wedding and had an entire day to kill. We decided to google «what to do in Des Moines when it’s raining», and this place popped up.
I felt like I was transformed back into the 60’s the second I walked in. It was very old school, but had food, a bar, and lot’s of games including air hockey, pool, and other arcade games.
We had a blast! We ordered a couple pitchers of beer, a couple apps and food, bowled two games, and rented shoes and our total… drum rollll — $ 20 a person! You just can’t beat those prices! The staff was great, all super friendly helpful.
If you are ever in West Des Moines, Iowa — I definitley recommend stopping by this transformation back in time for a fun day of bowling!

Nice place to bowl for cheap! It may not be the best upkept place out there but it is a bowling alley. Lots of lanes, a bar and bar food. There is also pool, an air hockey table and misc other mini games.
The staff is nice and the place is not too busy. The price was very reasonable. The drinks and food are also decently priced.
