Let’s go on a stroll down Memory Lane today, Missouri. Remember the days of going to the bowling alley – before everything, including television screens with our game scores – was modernized. When you walk into this vintage bowling alley in Missouri, you’ll feel as though you’re stepping back in time, way back to the early 20th century.

Journey back through the pages of time when you climb up the stairs to The Saratoga Billiards and Bowling Alley, sat on the second floor of an old office building. The vintage bowling alley opened in 1916, at a time before bowling had taken off as a sport in the United States.

As the oldest bowling alley west of the Mississippi, Saratoga Lanes has even earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. You won’t find many second floor bowling alleys left in the U.S. today.
