White Oak Bowling Lanes

It always seems like I am stepping back in time whenever I go to this bowling alley. It just doesn't seem to have evolved since around 1975, but then it is a bowling alley, and I guess there haven't been that many developments to the sport in recent years. This place is a lot of fun, despite the decor. It is duckpin bowling and they have bumper lanes available for the kids and those of us who are bowling-challenged. It costs about $8 a person for the shoes and the game, but you can spend a while on your lane playing. They have a kitchen where you can get food--mostly greasy hamburgers and chicken fingers. And they also have a little arcade with five or six video games. Also on Saturday nights they have Cosmic bowling where you pay about $15 for the night to come in a bowl to funky music under blacklights; this fun if you go with a crowd but mostly dominated by teenagers. more

There doesn't seem to be a fan or something to clear up the smokiness in there, but it is usually ignorable. The prices seem to have gone up in recent years but that doesn't ruin the fun. The food is expensive, though, and isn't that good. It's a bowling alley, though--- go for the bowling! Also you can plan parties here for you and your friends. more
