Group Info

Groups needing at least two lanes may reserve lanes and receive a discounted lane rental rate. Each lane rental includes two hours of bowling and up to seven free shoe rentals per lane. We recommend placing only 4-5 people per lane to reduce time waited between turns.

Party Rooms

If you are renting four lanes or more, or if you have a large number of spectators, we suggest renting a party room.You will have access to the party room halfway through your bowling time, and keep it for an hour past your bowling time. Essentially you convert a 2-hour party into a 3-hour party for not much more money. Events planned to end at our standard closing time can rent the room for half-price, as they will not be able to keep the room for the extra hour.

Poker Room, $10

  • Seating for 10
  • Two round tables with 5 chairs each
  • Dart board (must be 18 to check out darts)

Small TV Room, $25

  • Seating for 40 children, but would be cramped with that many adults
  • Two loveseats
  • Three bar-height tables each with 4 stools
  • Four long tables (18" by 6') with 6 chairs each
  • 30" television and two 19" televisions
  • Free use of billiard table #6

Large TV Room, $40

  • Seating varies
  • Three sofas
  • One small table with 4 chairs
  • 62" television
  • Two table tennis tables
  • Use it as is, or the table tennis tables can be removed to make room for more tables and chairs.
