Established in 2015, The Alley was brought to fruition by a dedicated group of local investors who saw a need for a premium family entertainment center in Hutchinson. The large-scale complex boasts 20 lanes for league and open bowling and six lanes for private parties or drop-in bowlers.
Multiple Entertainment Options
Beyond bowling, the facility offers diverse entertainment options for all ages. Non-bowlers will enjoy the laser-tag area, an arcade area with 80 video games, and the Spin Zone Bumper Cars.
