about duckpin bowling
In duckpin bowling the pins are shorter and wider than 10-pin bowling pins and they are lighter and squatter, making them more difficult to knock down with a single ball. The ball is also significantly smaller, with a diameter of 5 inches and weighing only about 3-4 pounds. Duckpin allows players to get three rolls per frame instead of two. However, despite having an extra roll, it’s harder to get a strike due to the smaller ball and heavier distribution of the pins. Duckpin bowling is believed to have been invented by a group of baseball players in Baltimore, Maryland, in the early 1900s. The smaller pins and balls made the game more challenging, creating a unique twist on the traditional bowling experience.

Yes, absolutely! We have a table and comfy couches, behind each lane for you to enjoy! You will be looked after by one of our fabulous staff members, who will be happy to take any food and/or drink orders while you bowl. However, please note that the bowling lanes are only reserved for an hour, therefore if you prefer, you can also book a reservation for dining either before or after you bowl to have more time to enjoy your food and drinks with friends and family.
