Before the invention of the bowling ball, human fingers were forced to seek shelter inside noses, birthday cakes, or blind kewpie dolls. Give your hands a proper home with today's Groupon to Shore Lanes Bowling Center in Melbourne. Choose between the following options:

Besides strengthening arm muscles and Jeff Bridges impressions, 10-pin bowling on Shore Lanes' brand new alleyways strengthens socio-familial bonds by giving friends and families a casual, nonviolent arena to challenge each other. 42-inch LCD screens adorn this official PBA practice center's shiny lanes, each outfitted with QubicaAMF electronic scoring systems and automatic bumpers for pintsize orb pitchers. Guests can also use their Groupon during X-Factor bowling, which combines an eye-popping light show with pumping pop tunes, allowing friends to go head-to-head against cosmic pinheads while engaging each other in Barry Manilow sing-along battles.

After a couple rounds on the strike fields, friends can stop by Shore Lanes' City Limits Lounge, a spacious sports bar that boasts 15 flat-screen TVs dotted about the room. After a beverage or a game of pool (not included in the price of the Groupon), patrons may stop by the pro shop on their way out, where an assortment of lane gear and apparel gets serious bowlers well-dressed in time for any tournament or Shriners meeting.
