The Armory is a brand new 27,000-square-foot entertainment venue that just opened in Maryville. This isn't your average bowling alley - it's a next-level family entertainment center with a mix of modern and classic activities under one roof.
What they offer: - Duckpin bowling (a unique, shorter style of bowling that's super fun for kids) - Digital darts and a 9-hole putting course - Shuffleboard, skeet shooting, bocce, and yard games - Cutting-edge VR experiences through ValoArena - A curated bar area for adults with 33° draft beer (the kids zone is separate and supervised)
Why kids love it: The mix of activities means there's something for everyone. Some kids go straight for the bowling lanes, others are more into the VR stuff, and there's plenty of space to roam between activities. The digital darts are surprisingly competitive - you'll see teens and adults both taking them seriously.
Pro tip: Go on a weekday afternoon if you want smaller crowds. Weekend evenings can get busy, especially with birthday parties running.
Best for: Ages 6 and up (though younger kids can enjoy the putting course and arcade stuff with supervision)
