3.8(509 reviews)$Bowling
🕑 2 to 3 hours👶 Best for ages 4 and up. Younger children can bowl successfully with bumpers and lighter balls, while tweens and teens enjoy the arcade games and competitive bowling. Toddlers under 4 may find the balls too heavy but can still have fun watching and trying with parental help.
