The three holes on a bowling ball represent the three phases of bowling: wind-up, release, and genuflection. Send a ball properly on its way with today's Groupon: for $7, you get three games, shoe rental, and a large soda at Seneca Bowl (a $16.51 value, including tax).

Seneca Bowl's 36 spacious, blue-bumper-backed synthetic lanes welcome the curve, hook, and gutter balls of league champions and baby bowlers alike. Gleaming automatic scorers tabulate points with robotic precision, and optional bumpers check the migratory paths of errant orbs hoping to roll north for summer. Pin-battling warriors lace up a pair of runway-worthy two-tone shoes from infant size 6 to adult size 16 (a $2.68 value), then choose a favorite spherical six- to 16-pound weapon for three games (an $11.27 value). Quench a postgame thirst with a range of Pepsi brews in the snack bar and lounge area (a $2.56 value). Pint-sized players can trade in bowling balls for pinballs in the arcade before going toe-to-toe with other Lilliputian gamers for cafeteria bragging rights.
