Woodland Lanes - Branson, Missouri

Si no tiene algo mejor que hacer, se lo recomiendo, la familia de los dueños lo administra, el único inconveniente es que permiten fumar y el sistema de extracción no es muy bueno, así que sales oliendo a cigarrillo, pero en general muy amables.

As other people have stated this bowling alley is older but to me it’s what bowling is all about. Everything worked fine on the lane we were on, place was very clean and the owners were as nice as they could be. This is not some new fancy bowling lane with lights flashing and music playing but if you want to go bowl a few games then go and have fun. It was a reasonably priced night of entertainment.

Man we used to love going here. Now you spend more time pressing the reset button than actually bowling. They DESPERATELY need to service or update the pinsetters. Plus we had a moment where 4 balls were all waiting to come back. We bowled 3 games and had to go to the front once a game to have something fixed.
Luckily this is a pay per game bowling alley not a timed one. Otherwise we would have been more upset. Oh if you DO decide to bowl here. The reset button for the lane is NOT the button that says "Reset" on the top of the ball return. It is actually located below the ball return. You'll most definitely need to know where it is located.

We were in town just for a few days with family and we all bowl in leagues. This place is only 3 minutes from our resort. So, we thought how convenient, after we arrived it was very obvious that the guy at the counter didn't really want us to bowl. We were told League bowling starts at 5, so we were only able to get one game in, we were not allowed to bowl anymore after 5 o'clock. We left the parking lot at 5:10 and the parking lot was still very empty. We arrived at 4:30 and could have easily got two games in before 5 if the lanes would not have kept breaking down. This is not a place to visit if your not a local.

smelly, dirty/dusty lanes, shoes were not good. went into bowl but couldn’t even bowl because how cracked the first part of lanes are, balls won’t hook on the cheap lanes. whole place needs to be remodeled

Posting for a friend--
They discrimate against pregnant women with pre existing health conditions that affect the health of their baby, up to including not allowing them to being i water with medically provided electrolytes to ensure health and wellness of mom and baby. Very disappointed.

Good family fun. The old but well maintained lane were an awesome surprise. We had a lot of fun and will be back. Very good lanes to teach someone to bowl on. The beer is pricey but for the surrounding area it's about right. Thank you for a good time and I can't remember when you could smoke in a place that you could have fun in.

I don’t remember the last time I stepped inside a building that was open to the public that allowed smoking. Not a pleasant surprise. Prices were cheap so it seemed it would be worth the drive, but we regretted it after we arrived. Thankfully the ceiling fans and air circulation made it not as bad as it could have been.

On the upside, plenty of balls to choose from and they were sorted by color/weight. Manual bumpers are available (all or none of the game).

The mechanics mostly worked, but there were times the pin counting glitched and a few keys in the keyboard didn’t work so we had to rename some of our players.

Wouldn’t say don’t ever go, but just go with realistic expectations.
