Your Guide to Labor Day in Flagstaff
Labor Day weekend is the biggest weekend Flagstaff has all summer — the county fair, Art in the Park, the Shift bake sale, and cooler mountain air. Here's how to plan it with kids in tow.

Bowling • Indoor • $
Starlite Lanes is a classic 24-lane bowling center on East Route 66 that's been a Flagstaff fixture for decades. Glow bowling, a full arcade, a snack bar, and weekend late-night hours make it a reliable rainy-day stop, from preschoolers through tweens. Leagues, birthday parties, and open bowling are all available seven days a week. Parking, restrooms, a water fountain, and picnic tables are on site, and the alley is wheelchair- and stroller-accessible. You're fully indoors. Rates are $. Hours start at 11am most days and run late — Friday until 1am — so this is an easy after-dinner plan, not a quiet toddler bedtime. Cosmic Bowling nights turn the lights down and the music up; daytime is calmer.
Local tip
Ask at the counter for bumpers and a rolling ball ramp — even a preschooler can send one down the lane. Go daytime with noise-sensitive kids; Cosmic Bowling nights turn the lights down and the music way up.
