Bowling?

Rose.9.6.03

We're hosting my DH's family (8 adults and 6 kids) in February.  And we were trying to find an activity that everyone can participate in.  We though bowling might be fun.  I've never bowled in Cincinnati before, so I have no idea about the bowling alleys.  Can anyone suggest a bowling alley that's clean, relatively attractive (by bowling alley standards) and will provide bumpers for the young kids?  Bonus if the location is relatively close to Clifton.

Not too far from Clifton, but Crossgate Lanes in Blue Ash (Plainfield and Hunt Roads) is pretty ok. They have bumpers, but they may have restrictions on when they allow bumper bowling. (I don't know for sure).  Website: https://www.crossgatelanes.com/

There is also Star Lanes at Newport on the Levee which is newer. I have never been there, and the only people that I know who have been there went at night for parties. Since it's in KY, they might still allow smoking all the time. Website: https://starlaneslevee.com/

ETA: The website says Star Lanes is smoke free.
