Mini Bowling in Council Bluffs
Forget the oversized shoes and long wait times mini bowling at The Hub Patio is fast-paced, family-friendly, and seriously addictive. Our smaller lanes and lightweight balls make it perfect for all ages, whether you're throwing your first frame or challenging friends on a Friday night. Our lanes are handicap accessible for those in a wheelchair making this bowling experience one to remember!
Our 10-pin mini bowling lanes stand about one foot off the ground and use real pinsetters. The experience is similar to traditional bowling but everything is scaled down. We call it Wonderbowl, and once you try it, you’ll understand why it’s a local favorite.
Strike up Smiles ALL Summer Long!
You heard right, The Hub is keeping your summer filled with laughter and big savings! Everyday each child will get 2 free games of mini bowling. Bring the kids down for some fun, competitive family bonding! This is a walk in special, no need to book ahead. Walk in is based on availability and we open at 11am with summer hours!
