Strike up some good quality family fun this holiday season at PoCo Bowl! Let’s face it, it’s getting harder and harder to find affordable and engaging activities that all ages and abilities can participate in. Bring back the days of whole families spending a night at the bowling alley or joining weekend leagues with PoCo Bowl, an establishment that is up-to-date with the latest technology, yet still feels like stepping back into a simpler time. Give the gift of family fun this holiday season with an evening out at PoCo Bowl.
PoCo Bowl has maintained that nostalgic, feel-good, family-centered feeling since it opened in 1950. A family business through and through, its charm lies in maintaining a focus on community and connection in an overscheduled world. Did you know that 5-pin bowling, which is what you’ll find at PoCo Bowl, is a uniquely Canadian sport? Developed around 1909 by Tommy Ryan, 5-pin bowling made it a more accessible option for those who found 10-pin bowling too strenuous. Bowling is something that nearly all ages and abilities can participate in. Offering bumper bowling lanes, kids can focus on the technique of bowling and enjoyment instead of worrying about the ball going into the gutter. Bowling ramps are available for those who may need extra support, and the size and weight of the 5-pin balls ensure that even preschoolers can carry and roll them down the lanes.
Bringing your family to PoCo Bowl will score you big points as they offer Open Bowling (lights on, low music), Cosmic Bowling (lights off, glow in the dark, and loud music), and specials for families to save money and have fun. The Afterschool Special is a great way to bridge that gap between school and dinnertime or check out the Friday Night Special with pizza, bowling, and slushies for an affordable family night out. PoCo Bowl also offers stellar Birthday Packages for all ages to ensure a fabulously fun experience, and leagues if your family finds they want more of a challenge.
Plus, PoCo Bowl is a leader in fundraising and giving back to the community for great causes. Make it a parent’s night out! Beginning January 31st from 8:30pm-12:00am and head to PoCo Bowl for an epic 80’s-themed fundraiser series complete with a DJ, appetizers and drinks, 3 rounds of bowling, and plenty of games and prizes all night long! Can’t make it to the first fundraiser? There are plenty more opportunities for a night out every Friday and Saturday throughout February with each 80’s-themed fundraiser being hosted by different companies and benefiting a different local charity. It’s an enjoyable night out and a great way to support your community and PoCo Bowl to reach their target of raising $10, 000 for each charity. Tickets for the 80’s fundraiser nights are $75 and can be purchased here.
