Every strike earns a quarter from the jar. Whoever has the most at the end picks the post-bowling treat.

Budget & Insider Tips

Grandparent Money Tips

• Open bowling is cheapest during off-peak hours — weekday mornings often have rates $1–2 per game lower than evenings.
• Ask about family or group packages that bundle shoe rental. Paying for shoes separately adds up.
• Many alleys have happy hour pricing on lanes from open until noon on weekdays — not advertised at the door.
