Bowling builds camaraderie and hand-eye coordination while sharpening self-defense skills against 10-man armies of wooden soldiers. Become a secret weapon with today’s Groupon: for $11, you get two games of bowling for two people, two pairs of rental shoes, and two large fountain sodas at Trindle Bowl in Mechanicsburg (up to a $26 value).

The family-friendly Trindle Bowl is one of the only bowling centers in central Pennsylvania that is 100% smoke- and alcohol-free. Each of its 40 lanes is equipped with automatic scoring, and AMF 82-70 Pinspotters ensure that bowlers never again have to send the butler to reset the frame. Kids can join in the action with bumper bowling, or test button-mashing skills by playing Guitar Hero in the Fun Factory Arcade. Make peace with moody stomachs in the Laneside Cafe, a smarter than average snack bar that serves up hot and cold sandwiches, soups, gourmet ice cream, and common-sense tax advice. Free WiFi is available for tech-savvy monarchs who find digital bowling pins far superior to wooden ones.
