Love bringing out of town guests here. Lots of fun even if you've never been to a bowling alley in your life. Great for all ages.

Took a group here and had a reception in the bowling museum and hall of fame, it was a great choice, I will go back and bring more of our groups by. My favorite part is the I think Duck Pin, kids going through loved it! It is very interactive.

I was impressed by this little museum. It's new, very clean, organized, and would be a fun visit even for those who aren't interested in bowling. There's even a mini bowling game at the end that is great for children and adults. For under $20 two adults can go through this museum and Hall of Fame, and it's well worth... More

I used to bowl (for fun!) on a league a number of years ago. I thought the museum was very fascinating, entertaining, and educational regardless of a person's knowledge or age. Very worth the stop and would definitely do it again!!

My family and I are Six Flags season pass holders, so we drive by the Bowling Museum frequently. One day when we decided Six Flags was too busy to enter, we went to the Museum instead. The whole family really had a good time, even my 8 year old. Starting off with Egyptian mummies was a stroke of genius as... More

The bowling museum is a first class operation and well worth going to see. Also the ITRC training center in conjunction with the museum is a first class venue.
