Bowling affords its players the opportunity to walk in someone else's shoes without requiring them to also walk someone else's collection of large dogs. Partake in some leisurely fun with today's Groupon: for $5, you get three games of bowling and one shoe rental (up to a $13.25 value) at Flamingo Bowl, located in Liverpool. Flamingo Bowl houses 40 shiny lanes set against a background resplendent in technicolor. Challenge your coworkers to a cutthroat game of bumper bowling or visit the lanes alone to perfect your jump shot. Afterward, unwind with a beer or glass of scotch (not included in today's deal) at Flamingo Bowl's full-service bar, replete with lounge seating, a big-screen TV, and off-duty celebrity lookalikes.

Flamingo Bowl offers its own discounts at certain times of the week that may be better than this deal; plan ahead to make sure that you redeem your Groupon at the most opportune time.
