About Strikers Family Sportscenter and Bowling

At Strikers Family Sportscenter and Bowling, the fun seems to never end. The bowling alley opens at 9 a.m. (10 a.m. on lazy Sundays) and stays open until midnight, but the festivities continue until 2 a.m. for Strikers After Dark on Fridays and Saturdays. Read on to see how you can fill your days:

• Knock down pins: Ignite some fierce competition on one of Strikers's 40 lanes that provide more opportunity for strong hook shots. But don't worry about keeping score—the updated scoring system does it for you on the flatscreen TVs at each lane.

• Bring the kids: With bumpers that automatically raise and lower based on who's up, even the tiniest of tots can topple the pins.

• Fuel your match: Their full menu includes wings, pizza, hot dogs, and sandwiches backed by a full bar; they even cater to early-morning bowlers with breakfast.

• Switch it up: Between matches, bowlers can retreat to the billiards tables or the arcade. Get nostalgic over skeeball and an old-school Pac-Man cabinet, or test your skills on new games.
