9 Best Bowling Alleys in Winnipeg You Should Try for Your Next Night Out
As a bowling fan and proud member of a local team, I’m here to say that bowling is way more than just knocking down pins. It’s all about good times and friendly competition—whether you’re aiming for a strike or just hoping to avoid the gutter.
I started bowling as a teen, and let me tell you, once you’re hooked, you’re in for life.
Winnipeg has some seriously great spots for bowling, and each one has its own vibe, from family-friendly to perfect-for-a-fun-night-out. So now, I’m here to share the fun with everyone by rounding up the top bowling alleys in the city.
Grab your shoes, find your lucky ball, and let’s hit the lanes!

Park Alleys is a vintage bowling alley that has truly stood the test of time. It has been a beloved spot since 1946, thanks to a local pilot and his partner who wanted to give the neighborhood a place to have some fun after the war.
The owners have poured love and care into restoring the iconic Art Deco ceiling, the neon lights, and that old-school sign. And they’ve also modernized the space with an event stage, a huge TV, a cozy patio, and pinball machines!
We always have a blast bowling here. They keep it simple with 6 classic 5-pin lanes, open from morning to close. Rates are $32 per lane per hour until 8 PM, and $45 after that (shoe rental included!).
While they welcome walk-ins, we usually book ahead since it tends to fill up quickly, especially on weekends.
