There are three Alley Cats locations near Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas. They got started way back in 1964 when Ken Smith purchased a Putt-Putt business. The Smith family later operated seven Putt-Putt facilities in Texas. Brian Smith turned some unused land next to one of the Putt-Putt golf locations into Alley Cats Entertainment in 2007. There are now Alley Cats Family Entertainment Centers in Arlington, Burleson, and Hurst, Texas. This location has batting cages, Putt-Putt, Go Karts, a bowling alley, laser tag, arcade games, and the only roller coaster in the Alley Cats FEC group.
