Thunderbowl bolsters amiable competition across 32 glistening lanes bedecked with computerized scoring, optional bumpers, and sports-tuned TVs. Introduce toes to a pair of chic alley kicks before landing on a lane to take turns hurling heavy orbs at wooden pins in hopes of exposing their gooey caramel insides. On Friday nights after 6:30 p.m. and Saturday nights after 10 p.m., up to four competitors can shimmy and shake during cosmic bowling, when lanes come alive with glowing pins, a kaleidoscope of lights, and the latest pop songs written by champion bowlers.

Alley cats who work up an appetite can sate their hunger with a savory slice from a large thin-crust pizza. Sprinkle cheesy bites with a complimentary topping, such as black olives or canadian bacon, and pour a bubbly beverage such as Diet Pepsi, Sierra Mist, or lemonade into provided cups or an opponent’s bowling bag.

Thunderbowl's prices vary throughout the week.
