RPM Raceway in Stamford offers a unique and engaging outing perfect for grandparents and grandkids of all ages! It’s not just bowling; it’s a vibrant entertainment center with electric go-karts and arcade games alongside modern bowling lanes – something to excite everyone. Kids will be thrilled with the fast-paced go-kart racing and trying their luck at the arcade games, while grandparents can enjoy the lively atmosphere and friendly competition on the bowling lanes. We recommend arriving a bit early (around 11:00 AM on weekends) to easily find parking and beat the afternoon rush!

Fun Things to Do Here

Ideas to make the most of your visit to RPM Raceway

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.
