“Awesome place. Not only is duckpin bowling a super gratifying game but, they have an awesome arcade too. The bowling is self scoring which makes for a fun engaging time between the people you play with. The arcade games are still 1980’s pricing I played for a while with a pocket of quarters. Highly recommend this place.”
— Justin Greenfeld“This duck pin bowling alley has been a long time hidden gem. Its great for kids and families. The staff was attentive and very helpful. I hope it remains a staple of Hartford!”
— Sabra Ionno“Awesome bowling! Employees were helpful, kind, and friendly. The space is very cute and the karaoke/glow in the dark setup is awesome. If you go earlier in the day certain amenities (drinks, food, etc) may not be available but personally I didn't mind at all. Plus it's fun that you can enter scoring and reset pins on your own, means you can play at your own pace. Pretty standard price for bowling, great price on entertainment (karaoke etc) and drinks.”
— Skyler Vlach“This is a wonderful family activity and such a great historic bowling alley. The balls are small and light so it's great for all ages. My 5 year old child and my 80 year old mom can both play. A very good option also for hot summer days when you don't want to be outside.”
— Shelly MasonDuckpin bowling uses smaller balls without finger holes and shorter, squatter pins, making it easier for all ages to play.
