Today when families visit their nearby bowling center, they can enjoy more than the simple act of heaving the ball down the alley. Moms, who want their small children to experience the game, may want to see whether the center offers bumper bowling. In bumper bowling, the gutters are blocked, allowing the pins to always be knocked down by a child. Those who prefer duckpin bowling will want to test their skills at Plaza Bowl, the only duckpin center in the metro Richmond area. When you visit your neighborhood bowling center, don't forget to ask about specials.
Many centers offer reduced prices during certain times of the year and on weekends and holidays.
You may also find deals on snacks. Call each center for details on fees and specials. Following is a list of area centers. Prices, of course, are subject to change, so call ahead if they're a concern.
