The sound of rolling balls and clattering pins is a common occurrence at the Mermaid. League and non-league players alike fill the center's 32 HPL Synthetic lanes, which come with state-of-the-art amenities ranging from speedy ball returns to easy computerized scoring. On Friday and Saturday nights, the scene here turns cosmic, with colorful lights and glow-in-the-dark accents adding a trippy touch to every game. Lights also flash in the entertainment center's game room, which offers popular arcade games, darts, billiards, and a dance floor for DJ nights.

Guests can always pair their play with pizza and beer from the center's snack bar. For a more upscale dining experience, they can sit down for a meal at the attached Mermaid Bar and Grille. It serves classic American food, including gourmet burgers, fried fish, pasta, salads, and sandwiches.
