Like deer, bowling pins often travel in herds and can endanger motorists by resetting themselves in the middle of darkened highways. Help reduce the pin population with today’s Groupon to Foothills Bowling Center, located in Auburn. Choose between the following options:

• For $16, you get one hour of bowling and shoe rentals for up to six people (up to a $38 value).
• For $35, you get an all-night lane rental (9 p.m. to midnight), shoe rentals, and unlimited Shake, Rattle & Bowl for up to six people (up to a $70 value). Recent renovations have made Foothills Bowling Center the epicenter for pin-punishers in search of family-friendly fun. After assembling two triumvirates of teams, bowlers can outfit princely paws in nonglass rental shoes and set out to slay pin armies before bowling balls turn back into pumpkins. Each of Foothills’ 24 lanes boasts automatic-scoring systems and table seating that keep easily distracted brains and backsides focused on crushing the competition. The all-night lane rental provides pin-seeking posses of up to six with unlimited access to Shake, Rattle & Bowl, a black-light-bathed bowling experience that occurs every Friday and Saturday night.

Full-service snack and beverage bars provide lubrication for moistureless mouths and nourishment for nosh-needy teeth with a menu consisting of sandwiches, snacks, and sodas, and pool tables and video games keep trained fingers in pin-fighting form. The on-premises pro shop allows bowlers to accessorize their outfits with matching balls, stylish wrist guards, and spare shoes for centaur teammates.
