Rainy-day backup plan, family outing, or date night - Central Florida's bowling alleys and arcades deliver hours of fun. Here are the best places to bowl a strike, rack up tickets, and play everything from retro classics to the latest releases around...
Thirty-two lanes plus an arcade, billiards, and a sports bar make this my default Kissimmee bowling spot. Reliable, affordable family fun, and the kids' programs are great in summer.
AMF Kissimmee Lanes
An East Orlando favorite with a big arcade, laser tag, and a full bar alongside the lanes. Cosmic bowling at night is a blast - it's the kind of place that works for kids and adults alike.
Boardwalk Bowl
A beloved Winter Park neighborhood alley with real old-school charm, plus an arcade and bar. Great leagues and a friendly vibe - this is where locals go when they want to actually relax.
Aloma Bowling Center (Winter Park)
Bowling with a ‘golden age’ vibe right on I-Drive at Pointe Orlando - 30 lanes, multiple bars, billiards, and surprisingly good food (yes, sushi). My pick for a grown-up date night that's still playful.
Splitsville Luxury Lanes (Pointe Orlando)
An upscale take on bowling and games with a great bar, billiards, and walls of big screens for the game. Polished and grown-up but still a ton of fun - perfect for groups and after-work hangs.
Kings Dining & Entertainment
An all-in-one fun factory: bowling, 100+ arcade games, laser tag, and gravity ropes under one roof. Best value for a big group or a kids' birthday when you want everyone entertained for hours.
Main Event Orlando
The I-Drive classic for a reason - a massive arcade of racing games, shooters, and ticket-redemption fun, plus a huge sports bar. Load up a Power Card and lose track of time. Great for teens and adults.
Dave & Buster's Orlando
Multi-level indoor go-kart racing plus a giant arcade, ropes course, and games galore near I-Drive. The karts are the star, but you could easily spend a whole rainy afternoon here.
Andretti Karting Orlando
Florida's largest indoor attraction, home to the state's biggest pinball arcade plus karting, boutique bowling, axe throwing, and more. When summer storms roll in, this is the ultimate indoor escape.
Dezerland Park Orlando
A retro-gamer's paradise - pay one price and play hundreds of pinball machines, fighting games, and classics on free play. The anime art exhibit and bar make it a fun hang for grown-up gamers too.
Arcade Monsters (International Drive)
An adults-only barcade near Disney with craft beer, themed cocktails, pinball, and classic arcade cabinets. The grown-up date-night answer to all the family spots on this list - nostalgic and a blast.
Player 1 Video Game Bar
Free admission, pay-per-ride go-karts, a wooden coaster, the giant SkyCoaster, and a solid arcade. A budget-friendly I-Drive classic where you only pay for what you play. The kids never want to leave.
Fun Spot America (Orlando)
Orlando's go-to for family-friendly bowling with 32 lanes, one of the best arcades around, plus a cozy lounge and sports bar. A dependable rainy-day plan that won't break the bank.
AMF Sky Lanes (Orlando)
International Drive's 24-hour arcade with 300+ games spanning retro classics to the newest releases, plus a restaurant and bar. Perfect for night owls and post-theme-park energy burns.
