How to Build a Mini Bowling Alley: A Complete Guide by Flying
In recent years, mini bowling alleys have become increasingly popular as a unique form of entertainment that can fit into various spaces, from homes to commercial establishments. Since 2015, Flying has been at the forefront of developing and providing cutting-edge bowling solutions, including innovative equipment for mini bowling alleys. Our commitment to quality and affordability ensures that your dreams of creating a mini bowling alley can become a reality without breaking the bank. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the crucial steps involved in how to build a mini bowling alley.
Introduction to Mini Bowling Alleys
Before delving into the specifics of construction, it's essential to understand what a mini bowling alley entails. Mini bowling is a scaled-down version of traditional bowling, making it accessible for smaller areas. Despite its size, the fun and excitement it offers are comparable to its full-sized counterpart. At Flying, we've refined this concept with a variety of tailored equipment suited for different preferences and space constraints.
Step 1: Planning Your Space
The initial step in building a mini bowling alley is meticulous planning. Consider the dimensions of your designated area. Typically, a mini bowling alley requires about 35 to 45 feet in length and around 5 to 6 feet in width. Planning helps in determining the number of lanes you can accommodate, ensuring a seamless bowling experience.
Step 2: Selecting the Right Equipment
Selecting the appropriate equipment is vital for a successful mini bowling project. At Flying, we offer a range of options:
- Bowling String Pinsetters: Our string pinsetters are designed for efficiency and ease of maintenance, ensuring smooth gameplay.
- Bowling Ball Return Machines: Saving space while maximizing functionality, our compact ball return systems are ideal for mini alleys.
- Appropriate Lanes and Pins: Choose smaller lanes and lighter pins to adapt to scaled dimensions without compromising on the experience.
Step 3: Design and Construction
Once equipment selection is finalized, the design and construction phase commences. Our team at Flying can assist with comprehensive design and layout solutions, ensuring optimal utilization of space. Construction follows the design blueprint, setting up lane infrastructure, installing mechanics, and ensuring proper alignment.
Step 4: Installation
Following construction, the installation of equipment such as pinsetters and ball return machines takes precedence. Flying’s qualified technicians ensure everything is set up correctly and test the machinery for smooth operation. Proper installation minimizes future maintenance requirements and enhances user satisfaction.
Step 5: Customization and Aesthetics
Personalize your mini bowling alley to add unique flare and attraction. Consider adding themed decor, lighting effects, and seating arrangements. Customization not only enhances the ambiance but can also be a lucrative aspect if the alley is commercially oriented.

Who makes new bowling equipment?
Flying specializes in manufacturing brand new bowling equipment. All the equipment, fairway boards, balls, and pins we use are brand new. Including the scoring and management systems of our bowling lanes, they are all unique and developed by ourselves.
How to maintain the mechanical equipment of a bowling alley?
Fairway boards and equipment require regular maintenance. Fairway boards need to be oiled every half month and cleaned daily to extend their service life. At the same time, the condition of the rope and ball return machine needs to be checked every period of time to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. Specifically, we will give you detailed maintenance manuals and videos to teach you how to maintain.
What is duckpin bowling equipment?
Duckpin bowling equipment is a more adaptable bowling lane. Duckpin bowling has a smaller lane size, and the smaller ball has only two finger holes, whose pins are shorter and lighter than traditional bowling pins. Its length can be customized from 9.6m to 20m, which is more suitable for a variety of miniaturized sites. But the rules of the game and the scoring system are no different from standard bowling. In addition, it can improve the hit rate of players in bowling, so that players can have more fun and fulfillment.
How long is a mini bowling lane?
The length of the Mini Bowling Lane is about 13 meters. The fairway board area is about 7.6 meters. And the approach area is about 2.44 meters. The equipment maintenance area behind the lane requires a minimum of 1 meter.
Price
how much does it cost to put a bowling alley？
The cost of building a bowling alley can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including:
- Number of lanes: This is obviously a big one. A single lane will cost much less than a whole alley with multiple lanes.
- Location: Building costs are higher in some areas than others. Building in a more populated area will likely be more expensive than a rural area.
- New construction vs. renovation: If you are adding a bowling alley to an existing building, you'll likely save money compared to building a whole new facility.
- Features: Do you want a high-end bowling alley with all the latest technology and amenities? Or are you looking for a more basic setup? The more features you want, the more expensive it will be.
Here's a rough ballpark of what you might expect to pay:
- Home bowling alley: A single lane for your house could cost anywhere from $75,000 to $175,000.
- Small commercial alley: A few lanes in a commercial setting could run from $150,000 to $600,000.
- Large commercial alley: A full-sized bowling alley with many lanes could cost millions of dollars.
If you're serious about opening a bowling alley, it's important to consult with a professional contractor or bowling alley equipment supplier to get a more accurate estimate for your specific project. They can take into account all of the factors mentioned above and give you a more realistic idea of the costs involved.
