You won’t find any other place like Saratoga Lanes. If you think you’re just going bowling, think again. Located in a historic building in Maplewood, you’ll find yourself walking up the stairs into the past. From the wood paneling to the paper score cards and friendly staff, you can’t go wrong. You can even pick your music from the old school jukebox. And if bowling isn’t your thing or if the lanes are full, there’s always billiards to be played or a drink to be had. So next time you find yourself walking along the streets of Maplewood with nothing to do, stop in one of the only upstairs bowling alleys left in the nation, Saratoga Lanes.
