Family-Friendly Bowling Alleys in Westchester
Monster Mini Golf – Yonkers
Though mini golf is the highlighted attraction here, this Ridge Hill venue also offers mini bowling and an arcade. Tailored to little ones, the mini bowling balls are lighter and the lanes are shorter than those at conventional bowling alleys, and regular street shoes are allowed. Pricing allows for either a la carte purchases or discounts on multiple activities.
Spins Bowl – Multiple locations
Spins Bowl has locations in Carmel, Poughkeepsie, and Wappingers Falls, offering a wide range of entertainment options. In addition to bowling, families can enjoy such activities as arcade games, ax throwing, air hockey, billiards, foosball, and darts. Dining is available at all locations.
Bowlero – White Plains
A modern bowling alley, Bowlero offers black-light bowling, plush seating, prominent video screens, bowling ramps, bumper lanes, and assorted arcade games. Dining is available, including a kids' menu and tempting sweets like milkshakes.
Homefield Bowl – Yonkers
A North Yonkers mainstay for more than 60 years now, Homefield Bowl is a classic neighborhood bowling alley, featuring 32 lanes, 40 leagues, a bar, and a snack bar. Book a birthday bowling party, and check the website for weekly and monthly specials.

A sizable space at 6,000 square feet, Patel’s boasts 40 lanes in a contemporary setting, as well as laser tag and an arcade for added fun. On weekends, pump up the action with cosmic bowling in black lighting.
