If you're on Maui and want to bowl, there's essentially one place to go: Wailuku Lanes, on East Vineyard Street in Wailuku, described by Hawaii News Now in 2025 as "Maui's only bowling alley." That makes lane time on Maui scarcer than you might expect for an island of its size.
Bowling on Maui today
- Where: Wailuku, in central Maui, a short drive from Kahului Airport. From the resort areas of Kaanapali or Wailea, plan on a longer drive.
- Who bowls there: locals, leagues and high school teams. Bowling is a sanctioned high school sport in Hawaii, and Maui's school teams practice and compete on the island's limited lanes.
- Demand: Maui bowlers and coaches have publicly said a second center is badly needed, and the idea of a new alley has come up repeatedly over the years. Nothing concrete had been announced as of late 2025.
Opening hours and league schedules affect open bowling. Call ahead before driving over, especially in the evening.
Bowling elsewhere in Hawaii
- Oahu has the most choice, including Aiea Bowl, a local favorite known for its food as much as its lanes.
- Hawaii Island has KBXtreme in Hilo, a larger entertainment-style center.

Tips for visitors
- Most visitors don't bring a ball. House balls and rental shoes are fine for a casual game.
- If it rains, the alley gets busier. Go early.
- Bring socks; rental shoes need them, and many visitors are in sandals.
