Brunswick Zone is a popular bowling destination, including its "Cosmic Bowling" on Friday and Saturday nights. Its lanes are clean, and there is plenty of equipment. With food and drink specials all night, you and your friends can go straight to the bowling alley without stopping for dinner first. This bowling alley plays top hits, making it easy for you and your crew to dance while waiting for your turn. The lanes tend to fill up, however, so get there prior to 10 p.m. for the best lane selection.

Arapahoe Bowling Center has a lot of lanes that are clean and well maintained. Its staff is friendly and helpful, and its moonlight bowling is a popular feature for patrons. For a flat fee, guests can bowl for three hours on lanes that glow, but are still lit well enough not to hamper your game. The flat fee doesn't include shoes, which can be rented for $4.00. Its abundance of lanes makes it less crowded than other area bowling alleys during midnight bowling. It also features a lounge and food from the Dayton St. Diner.

Centennial Lanes does its Moonlight Bowling differently than other alleys, in that it is a contest in which players pay a $15 entry fee and bowl 3 games. Competing for money and prizes, this format is more akin to league bowling than traditional midnight bowling, but if you're good, you have a chance to win some decent prizes. The top prize can only be one once per person, but the competitive atmosphere of this midnight bowling tournament makes it more exciting and entertaining. Centennial Lanes also has decent food and drink options.
