| - We've got a tech savvy bowling alley here...
Bowling alleys equal black lights. You know you're in for a good time when your clothes immediately illuminate under the black lights as a reward for wearing white.
Looks like there are 25+ lanes, which are very clean and so are the snazzy/ comfy bowling shoes you'll rent. These shoes also look great under the black lights. :-)
You pay roughly $4 a frame for each person, which could add up, but that's a fair price. The computer tracking system works very well - maybe a little too well. There are sensors that will trigger if you cross a mark taped maybe 18 inches before the lane begins dinging points off your score.
I hear that if you visit the bowling alley after 10pm the prices are cut down to $1.50 a frame. I'll be sure to visit after 10pm on my next visit.
You're unable to reserve a lane, so if you arrive on a busy night you might have to wait 20+ minutes. On the bright side, there is a nice bar area that offers really great prices on drinks with what sounded like 30+ types of beer available. Also in the bar area are two billiards tables, so if you're really in the mood for games - you can always shoot pool while you wait for your lane to open up.
There's also a nice snack bar with lots of fried food, fries, chicken fingers, burgers, pizza - that sort of thing, which is ultimately what you crave most after bowling.
Over each lane there are rows and rows of TV sets and at the end of the lanes above the pins there are huge screen TVs all playing the same music videos in synchronicity. I found this really distracting - I'm not saying that's my excuse for bowling badly - but I haven't seen music videos in a really long time, so I couldn't help myself from looking at overstimulating images while waiting for my turn.
Good time. I will definitely return. Enjoy!
