Bowling is an awesome recreational game that anyone can play, any time. If you and your friends are just hanging out and looking for something to do, this is the most perfect thing. Bowling involves throwing a ball down a lane towards bowling pins. The objective is knock as many pins as possible in one throw, and you get a strike if you knock all of them down at once. The most common types of pin bowling are ten-pin, nine-pin, candlepin, duckpin and five-pin bowling.

The Experience

Get to your bowling destination of choice to have some fun with the game. Depending on the place, you can pick your bowling slot per game or book a lane for an hour (see above for Bowling Alleys in Dubai and details). You will be given bowling shoes of your size, which must be worn throughout the time that you’re playing. You will be asked to give the names of all the players so it can be displayed on a screen with your scores for each round. Then it’s time for you to play! A game of 10-pin bowling is typically divided into 10 rounds, called frames, and each player is given two opportunities to bowl in a frame. You will have a selection of bowling balls to choose from alongside your lane. Make sure you try out the different sizes and weights so you can pick the ball you are most comfortable with. When you are done with your session, you will have to return the rented bowling shoes. Most bowling centres have dining options and other arcade games within the facility, so you can choose other activities to do even after you are done bowling.
