Reasons to Host a Group Event at the Bowling Alley

Group events can range from a small group outing of coworkers to a large school fundraiser, and everything in between! We can help you plan the perfect event to accommodate your group, so you can relax and enjoy the fun. Here’s why you should consider a group bowling event:

  • Built-in fun! Nothing keeps an event lively like a bit of friendly competition. 
  • Our bowling alley is clean, safe, and relaxed; the perfect combination for a group event of any size. 
  • If you’re throwing an event for a large group, bowling is a great way to get people interacting. Sharing a lane makes for a more intimate experience that allows guests to connect with each other, instead of just getting lost in the crowd. 
  • Food and drinks can make or break a party. Fortunately, our in-house restaurant, 11th Frame Bar & Grill, has you covered with a full menu of entrees and appetizers. Hot, homemade pizza, sandwiches, burgers, fries, and more. Order a pitcher of beers from our bar, or a round of shots from our weekly drink special menu. Want to level up your event? Let us help you design a signature cocktail that fits the theme and/or color scheme. 
  • Bowling is a crowd pleaser. It can be hard to find activities that are good for all ages, but bowling is for (almost) everyone! Kids as young as 3 years can learn how to bowl, as long as they can pick up a 6lb bowling ball. We have kids’ size bowling shoes available for rent, and lightweight bowling balls for kids. 
  • Want a more club-like atmosphere for your event? Cosmic bowling is the way to go! Teens love cosmic bowling, but honestly, who couldn’t use more blacklight, neon, and music to spice things up?
