If you’re planning a birthday party, you may be struggling to decide how to entertain the guests. Between party size, the ages of attendees, and cost, it can be hard to choose an activity that will satisfy everyone. Bowling is one family-friendly activity that checks off all your party requirements. Here are several reasons why bowling should be at the top of your list.

Why Is Bowling the Best Birthday Party Activity?

1. Good for Large Groups

At most bowling alleys, a single lane can accommodate anywhere from one to six people. No matter how large or small your group, you only need to rent out a few lanes. Some facilities may offer discounts for large parties, so it’s a cost-efficient choice as well. Create some healthy competition too by competing against your fellow partygoers. 

2. Food & Drinks

Many establishments offer food and drinks along with games. Appetizers, pizzas, sandwiches, and beer (or soda for little ones) can accommodate all your guests throughout the party. And with a variety of options, everyone can find something they like. 

3. Fun for All Ages

Although bowling a perfect game is no easy feat, the game is still fun yet challenging for kids and adults alike. Bowling lanes provide different shoe sizes and ball weights to meet everyone’s unique needs. At your request, they can also put up bumpers to decrease gutter balls and supply aimers that will launch the ball forward in a straight line, so bowlers of all ages and skill sets can be successful and have a good time.

4. Social Interaction

While bowling keeps everyone active and entertained throughout a birthday party, it also requires some downtime because only one player can bowl at a time. Those who are waiting for their next turn have an opportunity to interact with other guests and potentially make new friends.

5. Flexible Hours

Whether you want to entertain your guests for 30 minutes or several hours, most bowling lanes offer flexible accommodations. The hours of operation will likely extend from the afternoon to late at night, so you have many options for the timeframe of your party.
