Be part of this fun two-hour event featuring duckpin bowling—a lively twist on traditional bowling that uses a smaller ball (with no finger holes) and shorter pins that are surprisingly tricky to knock down. With three rolls per frame instead of two, the game moves quickly and keeps the excitement going. Don’t miss out! It’s easy to play, and a great way to relax, share some laughs, and enjoy a memorable time🎳. Snacks will be provided; drinks will be available for purchase.
