How much does it cost to put a bowling alley?

- 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.
