10 Bowling Alleys in Iowa That You Shouldn't Miss
History and monuments dot this landscape almost as often as the golden farmlands. Learn about America’s 31st president at the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum in West Branch. In northeast Iowa is the Effigy Mounds National Monument, a group of prehistoric American Indian burial and ceremonial mounds. This part of Iowa is also home to the Silos and Smokestacks National Heritage. The 37-county region tells the story of American agriculture, agribusiness and farm life and is affiliated with the National Park Service. In addition, there are five national wildlife refuges here. If you love history, imagine seeing the Amana Colonies, consisting of seven historic villages in 1855 by German immigrants as a religious communal society. Here you can also buy antiques, hand-woven baskets, furniture and clocks and locally made wine and beer. In Ames, take the family to see the Christian Petersen Art Museum, a newer structure that exhibits works of art by Christian Petersen and contemporary artists. You won’t want to miss the state capital of Des Moines, home to Blank Park Zoo with its naturalistic exhibits and more than 800 animals from five continents. You also should enjoy the Brenton Skating Plaza, an outdoor family entertainment venue.

Too hot outside? Too cold outside? Go Bowling! Older building with 12 lanes. Updated inside so very clean and well maintained. Plenty of house balls to fit everyone and even some lighter ones (6-8 lbs) behind the desk for the little kids and bumpers available also. Sometimes have issues with equipment but the help hustles to get it fixed.

My family and I have gone to Warrior Lanes for many years! Bowling alley is ultra clean and family friendly. Staff is super nice and helpful. My kids all learned to bowl here and did bowling league which turned into bowling on the high school team! Highly recommended!
