I don't understand what everyone is $#*!ing about? Giving 1 stars. Has anyone ever really brought 3 kids to a bowling alley, bowled 2 games and left without spending $65 - $75 dollars for one outting. So this is the second year my kids have gone. I pay $27 for the whole family for a whole summer and they can bowl everyday if they want and all I have to do is pay for shoe rental. WOW! That's a great deal! Still want to save some money? Eat before you go, try to avoid the arcade, and just get the kids some drinks. Unfortunately most of these places won't let you bring in food or drinks. This year my kids bowl once or twice a week and know the drill. They are getting better and better each time we go out. Also recently found out that they give lots of scholarship for bowling. If they get good enough, I might end up saving some $$$ on tuition if I'm lucky. Give it a try and if you don't bowl you don't have to pay for the adults, just the shoe rental. A small price to pay.
