bowling alleys

Where pins fall

Bowling alleys are long, narrow lanes where players roll balls to knock down pins.

The term refers both to the lanes themselves and to the establishments housing them, which typically include shoe rentals, scoring systems, and often food service.

We spent Friday night at the bowling alley.
