Fat Cats All Out Fun—Provo, Salt Lake City, Ogden

Fat Cats All Out Fun is a state of the art bowling and arcade center with three locations in Utah—Provo, Salt Lake City, and Ogden. Each location offers bowling, arcade games, food, and fun. I didn’t know just how much fun until recently, when my four year-old was invited to a birthday party at Fat Cats. I’d always assumed she was too young so we hadn’t ever been there before, but I quickly found out that wasn’t the case. There’s a Kid Zone, a mini 3-seat carousel, and some preschool-friendly arcade games. The arcade games give out prize tickets, which kids can then trade in for prizes. To keep little bowlers from being discouraged, Fat Cats has automatic gutter guards and can provide a ball ramp to help guide their bowling balls down the lane.
A word of advice when visiting Fat Cats with little kids: go on a weekday. We went early on a Monday and had the place almost to ourselves. Fat Cats can get very crowded in the evenings and on weekends. What I really like about Fat Cats (at least the one I was at) is that it’s very clean and well-maintained.
Each Fat Cats has bowling, arcade games, and food in common, but each one is also a little different; Ogden is the only location to have bumper cars. For dining, all three locations have a Strikers Grill, while Provo also has a Costa Vida, Salt Lake City has a Pizza Factory, and the Ogden location has both. There should be something to satisfy just about every appetite.
