When I was a child, just about every small town in Missouri’s Bootheel area had a bowling alley. In fact, you could drive 20 – 30 minutes, or less to find one that was nearby and enjoy some fun-time with your family. Sadly, over the past 15 – 20 years, these family owned businesses have closed down, and now you have to travel a considerable distance to find a really nice bowling center. Thankfully, Spare Time Lanes is a friendly, family owned business where you can enjoy a few games of bowling, and have some really good pizza. Located in the former Kennett Lanes(Ken-Lanes) on St. Francis Street(State Route 84), Spare Time has 12 lanes. Currently, they are using wooden approaches and lanes, but may switch to modern synthetics in the future. So if you’re looking for a great place to take your kids on the weekend, or just relax with friends, Spare Time Lanes is the place go in Kennett.
