We'll kick things off with a visit to the International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame to explore the history and legends of bowling. Afterward, we'll grab lunch together (Lunch is pay on your own) at the lanes to see who in the group has the best bowling skills (or the most entertaining gutter balls)! Shoe rental and lane time is included in your ticket. Come ready for laughs, friendly competition, and a great time.
