Why Bowling at Spare Time is the Perfect Way to Host Your Next Family Reunion

Family reunions are a blast, but planning them can be a hassle. Between finding a location that works for everyone, coming up with activities people actually enjoy, sorting out food, and handling cleanup, it can feel like a full-time job.

That’s where Spare Time Entertainment comes in. We’re all about bringing people together—without the stress. So why not let us handle the details while you focus on having fun? Especially when bowling is involved.

Bowling: The Ultimate Family Reunion Activity

Let’s start with the obvious: bowling is fun for everyone. Whether you’re rolling strikes or just trying not to throw a gutter ball, it’s a chill, no-pressure way for all ages to hang out, laugh, and catch up. Plus, you don’t have to be a pro—just someone who enjoys having a good time.

And if a little friendly competition is your family’s thing? Even better. Set up some mini tournaments, team up cousins vs. parents, or just see who walks away with the best (or funniest) bowling pose of the day.

More Than Just Bowling

While bowling is the star of the show, there’s plenty more to do at Spare Time. We’ve got one of Lansing’s largest arcades with over 50 games to play—perfect for kids, teens, and, let’s be honest, adults who miss the good ol’ days of button mashing and prize tickets.

Looking to put your heads together? Try one of our Escapology escape rooms—they’re a great way to test your teamwork and get the whole crew thinking.

Something for the Grown-Ups, Too

We didn’t forget about the adults! If you’re 21+, kick back with one of Michigan’s best craft beers—we’ve got some seriously good stuff on tap. It’s a great way to unwind and share a drink with the relatives you haven’t seen in a while.

And for families that want to add a little adventure to the mix, check out our Spartan axe throwing alley. Compete for bragging rights and see who’s got the best aim (closed-toed shoes required—we’re fun, but we’re also safe!).

Let’s Bowl and Make Some Memories
