Best Bowling For Kids Around Philadelphia

Juan L. said:  North Bowl lanes bring bowling to the next level. It has ten to 12 bowling lanes with an island-y vibe, great decorations (not too over the top or bright),and a DJ. Try to reserve lanes in advance as there can sometimes be a wait. People are so willing to wait because of all the other fun and games available to adults and kids alike.

There is also an arcade area, bar, restaurant (with great tacos), food available to order to the lanes, and beautiful outdoors seating areas. It's really a hidden gem in the city.

Games cost around $5.95/person, plus a shoe rental of $4.40.
