indoor bowling

Alley pin game

Indoor bowling refers to any form of bowling played inside a building rather than outdoors.

The term most often distinguishes traditional lawn bowling adapted for indoor greens from tenpin bowling, which is inherently an indoor sport.

In British usage especially, indoor bowling means bowls played on carpet or synthetic surfaces during winter months: The club switches to indoor bowling when the weather turns.
