Find Indoor Family Fun at Walkley Bowling Centre

Kids of all ages love to throw balls. Even big heavy ones, like the kind you can toss down the lane. T€he bowling lane, that is.

Non-descript on the outside, on the inside the Walkley Bowling Centre is a flash from bowling’€™s past, circa 1970. The thirty computerized lanes have an old-school feel that will appeal to both kids and parents eager to try their hand at the uniquely Canadian game of five-pin bowling. The smaller-than-usual bowling balls are easy for older kids to handle and perfect for young kids to grasp with both hands.

We love their Youth Bowling League every Saturday from 9:30 am- 12 pm. Your child plays three full games, supervised and helped by volunteer coaches. there are prizes, awards, and badges, and it’s only $10. In fact, all the rates at Walkley are reasonable. Adults are $7, kids are $4.50, and little ones under four are free to play.

Be prepared to spend 40 minutes to an hour per game, depending on the ages of the kids playing, and don’€™t forget socks to wear in the rental shoes.

That’€™s one strike for the record books.
