Have some “spare time?” Then head to Spare Time Texas! I love a place that offers good old-fashioned family fun, and that’s exactly what you’ll find here. Bowl, play some arcade games, enjoy a delicious meal, and so much more. You could easily spend all day trying out all of the fun attractions, which easily makes Spare Time one of the best family-friendly destinations in Texas.
Next time you're in search of a fun family outing, look no further than Spare Time Texas. With locations in both Temple and Pflugerville, this epic entertainment complex features a bowling alley, a full-service restaurant, and several other attractions that are fun for all ages.
The bowling lanes are sleek, modern, and spacious, boasting red leather sofas and blacklight for an upscale vibe. You can even spice up your experience with programmable mini-games!
Spare Time is so much more than a bowling alley, too - so if you're prone to gutter balls like me, don't worry! Both locations offer laser tag and a game room.
It's also worth noting that some of the arcade games award prizes - and not just any prizes. If you're lucky (or skilled, I should say), you could walk away with headphones, gaming systems, and more.
Of course, it's hard to beat a classic racing game, and Spare Time has plenty to choose from. Activate multiplayer mode and go head-to-head with the kiddos for a wholesome bonding activity you'll all remember for a long time.
From apps like chips with queso and fried mac and cheese bites to mains like pizzas and flatbreads, burgers, and sandwiches, there's something for everyone at Spare Time. There are lots of kid-friendly options, too!
For the adults, the drink menu is also pretty epic. You'll see lots of unique cocktails, many of which use locally sourced ingredients, plus a robust beer and wine selection.
Visit the Spare Time Texas website or the Spare Time Texas Facebook page for more information, including current hours and menus for each location.
