" Great place to come in out of the heat or cold! My girls loved the high ropes course and the huge FOUR STORY playplace. They spent a lot of time in the ball room which has fun machines to shoot soft balls out of guns and ones that explode them out all over! "

Our History: 1976 - Present

1976

In 1976, Shelby Lanes was built in the area where Hijinx currently stands! Shelby Lanes was one of two Bowling Centers in Jonesboro, Arkansas and started out with just 24 bowling lanes and a snack bar. 

1987

In 1987, Lavon Crawford purchased the Facility and changed the name to Jonesboro Bowling Center. In 1997 the Center was remodeled to add 16 lanes and expand the game room.

2002

Stacey Barr Blaxton took ownership of the center on June 12, 2002 from Lavon Crawford. Under Mrs. Blaxton a redemption prize center was added, high school varsity bowling was introduced, and Arkansas State University developed a women’s bowling team.

2013 - Present

In 2013, Jonesboro Bowling Center added Lasertron and began the transition into a hybrid family entertainment center! On April 1, 2016, Jonesboro Bowling Center officially became Hijinx – Game Night Reinvented, when the ropes course, a giant playground area, 50 additional arcade games, party rooms and more were added! 

In 2021, the Rock Wall was added. Hijinx was then rebranded to: Hijinx: The Funtivity Spot in 2023 and announced plans to add more attractions soon.
