Spare Time opens in Temple

TEMPLE – The $6 million, 40,000-sf Spare Time Fun Center has opened its doors at 5434 205 Loop. The facility boasts 24 bowling lanes — eight of them in a semi-private, adult setting — a two-story laser tag arena, laser maze, arcade games and a full-service bar and grill.

A meeting facility with podium and smart TVs can seat up to 200 people, or may be broken into seven private birthday party rooms.

About 75 employees have been hired to run the center, according to Daniel Mueller, the general manager. The Temple city council has approved a five-year, 100 percent tax abatement for the project, which is estimated to be worth $56,790. The agreement requires Spare Time to hire at least 75 people.
