Empire Bowl on Sioux Falls' south side is the kind of bowling alley that actually has something for the people in your group who don't want to bowl.
Beyond the lanes — and there are a lot of lanes — you've got arcade games, cosmic bowling nights with the blacklights and the music turned up, and a dining setup that means you're not just eating vending machine nachos between frames. It's a legitimate venue for birthday parties, corporate team-building events, and group outings where you need a space that can handle a crowd without falling apart logistically. Cosmic bowling, open play, private lane reservations, arcade gaming, and on-site food and drinks are all in the mix.
The reason Sioux Falls families and work groups keep coming back is that the place functions — lanes are maintained, the arcade isn't a graveyard of broken machines, and you don't have to rent out a banquet hall across town just to host a decent party. It's recreational without being rinky-dink, and that's harder to pull off than it sounds.
