Huh? My 4 year old loves bowling. He'd biwl every day if he could. And the dark lanes and loud music don't bother him at all. I'd expect the party to last between 90 min and 2 hrs. Probably 1 hr of bowling so it depends on whether they have a party room for 30 min or an hour. To be safe, I'd show back up after 90 min. And I think it's perfectly fine to bowl on your own with your younger child.
