Maple Lanes Bowling Center on University Avenue is the perfect place to bring the family for great fun, great food and to create memories to share!

Maple Lanes has been in the Cedar Valley since 1958 and is one of only two remaining bowling centers in Waterloo-Cedar Falls now that Valley Park Lanes closed its doors. In the last 2 years there has been new ownership which has allowed the center to receive many major updates to make it more modern and an even more exciting atmosphere. As co-owner Rich Eighme says: “This isn’t your Grandpa’s bowling alley anymore!” And even with saying that Maple Lanes still has the largest Senior program in the state of Iowa so encourage your parents and grandparents to come join in on the fun! Some of the new renovations include: a complete remodel of the old Imperial Restaurant & Lounge to create the new Kingpin Bar & Grill. Kingpin is a great place to get away and watch the game with flat screens hanging on every wall and also features an updated food and drink menu!

There have also been many updates as far as fresh drywall and paint, carpet, interior and exterior cleanliness and 46” flat screen monitors above every lane.
