Boston Bowl buffs and polishes 20 lanes to accommodate fat tenpins and 14 lanes for their thin, stern candlepin cousins, ensuring smooth trips for the spherical projectiles eager to greet them. While groups of two and clans of four frolic beneath a multicolored bowling mural, automated scoring screens dutifully account for every pin conquered, awarding extra points for any particularly stinging impression of another bowler’s form.

Bumpers happily pop out of their gopher-like dwellings to protect balls from premature demises, and cosmic bowling allows players to embrace their newfound bioluminescence. Boston Bowl remains open 24 hours a day, and though food and drinks are not included with this Groupon, hungry patrons can satiate their appetites with an array of pizzas, sodas, and home-brewed beer.
