Montview Bowling Alley
The Montview Bowling Alley is a family-friendly 8-lane bowling alley open to the Liberty University community as well as the Lynchburg community. The Bowling Alley offers weekly specials, fun family nights throughout the year, reservation opportunities, and more. Being located on the basement floor of the Montview Student Union, the Bowling Alley can be a little tricky to find if users are unfamiliar with Liberty’s campus. Please check out our FAQs on parking information and a video on how to find the Bowling Alley.

I don’t have a Liberty decal. Where can I park?
- Decal enforcement is Monday–Friday from 4 a.m.–4 p.m. and reserved spaces and lots are unavailable at all times. We encourage patrons to park in the Academic Commons Garage or the Speakman Parking Lot (Bookstore) during hours parking is not enforced. The Academic Commons Garage also has hourly paid parking from 4 a.m.–4 p.m. but it is very limited. View a map of the campus here.
Can I reserve the Bowling Alley or a lane?

How do I get to the Bowling Alley?
