The events, shows, and festivals that’s on everyone’s radar
FAMILY FUN
Grab your bowling shoes and load up the family! The Alley Indoor Entertainment complex in Hutchinson is a must-see for visitors young
and old! The large-scale complex boasts 20 lanes for league and open bowling and six lanes for private parties or drop-in bowlers.
Non-bowlers will enjoy the laser-tag area, an arcade area with 80 video games, and the Spin Zone Bumper Cars! Head outdoors for some
family fun at Hutch Putt, Hutchinson’s 18-hole miniature golf course. This vibrant course features a ball-in-water shot, a pipe shot, and a
boulder arch for added difficulty.
