Are you looking for something fun to do with the whole family? Are you wondering what you can do that is inexpensive, fun for the whole family, and a great way to get out and meet new people? When was the last time you visited your local bowling alley?
When choosing a bowling alley, look for great value and low cost, but also choose a convenient location that offers everything that you require. Some people like to bowl for only a couple of hours, while others like to make a day of it.
Does your bowling alley feature free shoe rentals or other perks? What about a place to get drinks, snacks, even hot dogs and hamburgers? If you’re spending a day in the lanes, you might want these available to you. Bowling is hard work and, although not as physically demanding as some other sports, being properly hydrated is very important.
You may also want to look for a bowling alley with extra features, such as discounts on certain days or a game room with pool tables and video games. Another feature to consider is whether or not smoking is allowed. Some alleys allow it and others do not.
Another thing to consider, when choosing an alley, is that some alleys offer “Cosmic bowling”, usually only one night a week. “Cosmic Bowling” is when they turn the normal lighting off during these hours and often replace it with bright neon lighting and sometimes strobe lights and bass-driven techno music. Some enjoy the club house feel to these nights, which are often priced differently than regular bowling hours, while others may find the lights and loud music creates too much distraction.
Almost every bowling alley will offer regular league games, which often require a fee to sign up, but which is usually cheaper in the long run for those who like to bowl on a regular basis. Adult leagues and children’s leagues are both a great way to get out and meet people, share some friendly competition, and play to win awards and trophies. Some may also feature senior leagues for the young at heart.
If you’ve never been bowling before, but would like to try it for the first time, don’t be shy about asking for a personal instructor. Some bowling alleys may list instruction as an option but, if not, don’t assume it’s not available. It never hurts to ask. Most people who work at a bowling alley are quite good at the game themselves and have been playing for years. Most of them are more than happy to teach you the basics for no cost but, if you would like further one-on-one training and assistance, there will be a fee.
So remember, when choosing a bowling alley, that not all alleys are alike. Know what options are available when making a selection, and choose a place that is convenient, inexpensive, in good condition, and offers the perks and the style of games that you like to play.
