Question 1

Do I need a reservation, or can I walk in?

Accepted Answer

We recommend making a reservation to guarantee a lane, especially during busy times. Walk-ins are welcome but subject to availability.

Question 2

Is there an age limit for bowling?

Accepted Answer

For 10-pin bowling, we advise against it for children under 10, as the balls can be heavy and difficult to handle. However, 5-pin bowling has no age restriction and is great for all ages.

Question 3

How many people can bowl on one lane?

Up to 6 people can bowl per lane.

Question 4

Question 5

Do you have bumpers or ramps for kids or beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we do! Bumpers are available on 4 of our lanes, so be sure to request them when booking to ensure availability. You can find our ramps throughout the alley.

Question 6

Can I bring my own bowling ball and shoes?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! You're welcome to bring your own gear.

Question 7

What’s the difference between 5-pin and 10-pin bowling?

Accepted Answer

The main differences come down to the size of the ball, number of pins, and the overall gameplay experience.

5-pin bowling uses a smaller ball that fits in the palm of your hand and doesn’t have finger holes, making it easier for kids and beginners to handle. The lane is the same size as 10-pin, but there are only 5 pins set up in a V-shape. Each pin is worth a different point value, adding a unique twist to scoring. It’s faster-paced and perfect for casual games or mixed-skill groups.

10-pin bowling features the larger, classic bowling ball with finger holes and ten pins in a traditional triangle formation. It’s the standard for most competitive bowling and offers a more traditional and physically challenging experience.
Whether you're looking for a lighthearted game or a more classic bowling challenge, we've got both options available!
