Fun Things to Do Here

Ideas to make the most of your visit to Hawley Lane Mall

Bumper Tournament

Use bumpers and keep everyone's real score — no mercy rule. Serious competition, zero embarrassment.

Frame Themes

One frame: left hand only. One frame: granny style. One frame: eyes closed (one roll). Everyone does it.

Strike Jar

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

Prediction Bowl

Before each roll, everyone calls the pin count. Closest prediction gets a bonus point.

Team Skins

Grandparent + grandkid teams. Spare = 1 pt, strike = 2 pts. A gutter ball costs your team 1. Play for bragging rights.

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.
