Wow this is cool! I came here to participate in my first USBc national tournament. There are multiple floors and bowling lanes on the first and 4th floors. The lanes on the 4th floor are pretty grandiose. It's like bowling in well, a stadium ha. There were food options and tons of vendors to explore. The stadium itself is only open for tournaments, so it's a really special experience to be able to come and bowl here. read more

Love to come to the bowling events here, we always have a great time for events! They're not open to the public other than specific events, but I wish they were open more often because I would come more often. Simple bowling setup, no bumpers, no fancy screens, simple bowling. Recommend coming here for the frequent fundraisers that come up and enjoy the space, we always have a great time here! read more

I love the National Bowling Stadium, I've been bowling in tournaments and private events since it open back in 1995. Big shout out for hosting us National Automobile Museum appreciation day for your members! We had a blast! My league bowling partners have never been in the building and they had an awesome time!!! They were in awe!! We bowled 4 games and I think my team was at the top of the leader board! What a great day! Thank you again for hosting such a brilliant event!!! read more

I love sitting in the stadium seating where you can't see any bowlers! Brilliant! I hope they got their money back from whatever genius designed the remodel. Maybe fix that? Baffling. read more

This is not a bowling alley open to the general public. I was told (not by this business) that it would be a great place to take the kids bowling and the place wasn't even open. So if you're looking for a regular bowling alley do not come here. read more

Very nice, clean and well-maintained. My only complaint is that the vending machine for snacks is $6!! $6 for a bag of doritos/candy bars? No thank you. The atmosphere is comfortable and enjoyable as a guest. read more

The bowling lanes are so nice and clean looking. I got to see my family bowl in a tournament here not too long ago. They have a full bar and food area. I ordered a Dr Pepper which came with free unlimited refills and a souvenir cup! Downstairs there is a Bowling Museum if you like that kinda thing. Check with the website for times they are open. I don't know if is open to the public I believe this is only for like really good bowlers during tournaments. They are housing for the spooky season your local Reno Haunt "Dark Corner". It is looking pretty frightening in there I definitely recommend coming down to visit the dark corner haunt and seeing the stadium too! read more

We went for the charity event, Boxers and Buddies Bowl! The bowling event featured puppies and dogs for adoption and tickets were $50 per lane for up to 5 people. We got there and started bowling around 3:20 pm. The event went until 5, we had a blast. After watching King Pin, we really wanted to check it out and this was the perfect opportunity. What a bright, clean, and friendly bowling stadium. We will return to the next event in March! read more

National Bowling Stadium - $10 parking.. - Bowling Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Our family got to check out the stadium for a youth tournament and it was pretty cool. So many lanes with some limited comfy seating and stools. Easy to get to with lots of parking. They offer additional seating on the next floor up but it doesn't stretch all the way across all the lanes so you wouldn't be able to see the corner lanes very well. We brought our own folding chairs in case the seats were taken and it came in handy. Their museum was closed when we went for the tournament on Saturday and Sunday so we will have to return to check it out. read more

We hold our yearly Prospector's bowling event here. Though greatly underused, this is an incredible facility to get your Lebowski on (yeah, King Pin was filmed here, but more of a fan of the Dude)!. Pleasant staff, 78 lanes (we filled them) and plenty of covered parking. Not a big bowler, so this scratches that yearly itch. Can't comment on concessions, as we do our own. Another great attraction in the Biggest Little City. A fun place for a work team building event. read more

Location is terrible. There is nothing to do near by. As big as this place is there one dinky concession stand. The choice of food is limited & horrible. The prices are outrageous. Last year the tournament was held at South point. What an amazing venue. This venue is nothing compared to the one in Southpoint. You need to step up your game. read more

Great bowling experience. A couple things though... First...whoever designed the new seating areas around the bowling lanes...gets an "F" Too tight! Small space and difficult to bowl with 4 people read more

First time and quite disappointed. The bowling experience with others and the lanes was "Awesome"! The stadium now is quite dated and stopped in time. No longer a Pro Shop, Food and no vendors during the event. Also, other than us bowlers with guests it was very empty. This museum is still open which was nice and the entire history of bowling. You, could get alcohol $$$$ or a soda!Also, no coffee whatsoever! Free warm water though. I was told COVID-19 was the demise with shut downs. In, summary with the cost too bowl their, gas, lodging etc. I would not go back and the downtown area around the Stadium was not well kept. read more

A place where bowling is king. Location of many pro matches. One was going on when I was there, and I was not able to bowl then, but I want to come back. The multiple pro shops on site provide anything you could want. Their prices were good, too. read more

We had the wonderful opportunity this morning of getting to participate in a field trip with fellow homeschoolers at the National Bowling Stadium. We received a behind the scenes type of tour and were able to bowl a game, too. This stadium has so much more to offer than I imagined. It can also be used for huge parties, proms, and also to do some large fundraisers. If you want to bowl here, check out some of their upcoming fundraisers because that is the easiest way to have an opportunity to bowl on one of their 78 championship lanes.. and you will be helping an organization raise money. Our tour guides were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and great with our group. The other staff were wonderful, too. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would love to return in the future. read more

What an amazing place! Came here to bowl in the National Tournament this year. Place is very clean and it is ran great. There is lots of room for check in, balls getting weighed in, meetings, etc. There is great stadium seating in the middle of the venue that allows you to watch a lot of bowlers at once and kick back and relax. They have a great museum as well that you can walk through and see the history of bowling! Bowling alleys need to take a look at this place and model it! read more

I heard about this place and I was amazed at the number of lanes this place has. While we were there the Women's tournament was going on. But first, we stopped off at the museum and looked around. As a kid, I used to watch bowling on TV. There were interesting displays on the first bowling pin, several bowling balls sawed in half and much more. After, we went upstairs and went through the gift show and then found a spot behind some women bowlers and watched them for a while. I had to visit this place 'cause I meet my wife when we were in the same bowling league 40 years ago. Brings back some fond memories. read more

Interesting... I'm not a bowler and I'm lucky if I can score higher than 75 at a typical game. But last weekend friends of a friend of mine were in town for a professional national tournament, so we swung by to cheer them on. This place is HUGE - over 100 lanes. With each lane having a minimum of 5-10 team players plus assorted hangers-on cheering on the players, the place was packed with nearly a thousand people and there were still lots of room. Guests can hang out in comfortable booths above the lanes and drink service was available (about $6 for beers, $3 for small bottles of water). The little snack place was doing brisk business with hot dogs and nachos flying off the counters. Everyone who worked there was very nice and helpful. I didn't know flash photography was not allowed, so one of the gentlemen who worked there kindly came up to me and asked me to turn off my flash. He was very polite - nice not to get yelled at. An entertaining way to kill a few hours. PS. Who knew some bowling balls cost over $200?!!! read more

The largest bowling stadium I've ever been to. Went for a sightseeing tour during a recent trip in Reno. There's a museum section that displays all the original bowlers and the Hall of Fame along with old trophies won by pro-bowlers over the years. The are bowling balls from the 1800's in there! The actual bowling stadium area is huge! I am definitely interested in attending a bowling tournament game just to see all the lanes in action! read more

The ultimate bowling experience. Not a venue for your family outing or company get togethers. This is where the pro's bowl and where the Open Championships are regularly held. Tough bowling conditions every time. 70+ lanes upstairs (elevator and escalators available). Every conceivable pro-shop and item available too at reasonable prices. I go here for the Open Championships. Meeting up with friends from across the country is always a good time! Great bowling venue for those who compete. read more

Was in town for a tournament recently. The renovations look (and are) great! Always thought the NBS needed more room for bowlers to move and less room on the concourse. The renovation took care of that! Nicer, more modern colors and the couches are firm ( not the fall to the floor feel) Sorry to see the pro shop go, though I think they will have one for national tournaments. Plenty of parking. If you have time, check out the museum. read more

Renovations look great , but there's barely any seating for guests . Bring your own chair just in case .

This place was so cool! I am not a bowling fan by any means; I probably play twice a year maximum. However, this five-story structure included what seemed like 200 lanes that had stadium seating behind them to watch some of the most advanced bowlers in the country play. The bowling Hall of Fame is also included at this location and was a good twenty minute walk through. Overall if you're looking to kill a couple hours in Reno and by all means swing by here for a visit! read more

As a beginner bowler, it's amazing to be in such a big place that professional bowlers play. This stadium is very clean and super large. I love the flags that are are spread throughout the lanes. The monitors are big and bold. As a visitor the have a museum that you can attend for free and learn the history of some bowlers that are in the hall of fame! They do have a donation box inside there. They do have a bar that only serve beer and wine. The pro shop is extremely large and every staff has knowledge regarding bowling and equipment. If your a bowler it's a must visit!! read more

This place is huge!!!!! I've came here three times now and every single time I think to myself how big this place is. The lanes are clean and shiny. There's booths for the bowlers friends and family to cheer on their players. There's also seating above in the balcony to oversee all the players that bowl. The food stand could use a update and better food selection, since that all that can be purchased in the stadium. It's cool to see the beginning of the tournament since they have the bowlers walk out of a stage ramp and split off to their lanes. The proshop at the bowling stadium is no joke. It is the best by far. They have a huge selection of bowling stuff like tape, gloves and all sorts. They also have shirts and cute baby onesies. Will always come to support my bowler, but will skip the food read more

National Bowling Stadium - Lanes, they just redid the lanes pretty recently! - Bowling Near Me - Reno, Nevada

We went to Reno for 3 days....... 1 of the evenings we went bowling... What a hoot. They opened at 5:30...... was able to get a lane. The upper level was closed. Bummer. I really wanted to see that many lanes. But maybe next time. Both of the ladies in charge were super nice and very informative........ the place was super clean, including the bathrooms. They had food, but we didn't eat there. The balls were all in very good condition and clean. Would definitely go back. Highly recommend. read more

Wow the largest bowling alley I've ever been through. Overall I feel like this place is a 3 star bowling alley. Age has taken it's toll on the lanes here, but I add an extra star because the service was plain ole awesome. I've never seen so many lanes in a building before. The sheer size of this place makes you go WOW! Again, the lanes are not the best I've been to, but know there is plenty of room for a billion people to bowl. read more

Visited 6/4/13 through 6/08/13. Attended the USBC Open Nationals this week. This was one of the best bowling experiences!! I am very impressed with this stadium. Huge non-bowler seating above the lanes. A downstairs bar with a smaller set of lanes. But most important, the ability for USBC to run over 300 bowlers through in a very smooth way. The center is located just a block away from some quality small casinos. This is something that every bowler should experience at least once. My hats off to Reno, The National Bowling Stadium and USBC for a great event and time. I will be coming back!! read more

If you're a bowling fan, this place is a must go. The pro shop alone is large enough to spend a 1/2 a day in. Huge with vendors from all major bowling manufacturers (Storm, Roto Grip, Dexter, etc.). The staff was incredibly nice and helpful as well. I participated in the USBC Open Championships for the first time and it was a great experience. The shot was tough and I didn't score well, but I still had a great time at the facility. 78 lanes and huge ceilings with stadium style seating made it one of the coolest bowling experiences of my career. The only complaint I would have is that the product looks exactly like it did in the movie Kingpin all those years ago. It's time for some updates. The ball returns are ancient, the approaches are a bit sticky, and some of the decor is obviously from the 90's. There's no open bowling so you have to be participating in some sort of event to bowl here. If you get the chance to do it definitely go for it. read more

Encountering distilled, unadulterated homage of an activity/passion/idea to which I'm largely indifferent should elicit an indifferent response at best or an hostile reply at worst but, in the case of this magnificent monstrosity... It simply elicited awe. It's an must-see in Reno. Be sure to check out the bowling statue in the lobby. read more
