Roll one or two or three

The Best in Bowling Alley’s in Green Bay and the surrounding areas.

Some of the most hilarious fun times I’ve had are at a bowling alley with friends and family. Just recently had my 22^nd birthday at Willow Creek Bowling alley and we came on a Friday night which means…Cosmic bowling fun! It was a perfect atmosphere for everyone involved. The staff was very accommodating and sort of having fun with us while we celebrated. When we had asked another resident on what she thought, the feelings were mutual.

MS. Barnes, missionary from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, had this to say on her outing one night;

“Bowling is one of my favorite activities but I rarely go. I mean let’s be honest; bowling doesn’t exactly equate high-end fun. Maybe it’s just that I’m used to bowling alleys that play bad music, don’t have enough seats, and have that distinct old-French fry oil smell permeating the air and the shoes! It’s always hilariously embarrassing wearing a pair of ugly bowling shoes that have housed a million other feet. So when a group of fellow missionaries from the church I belong to wanted to go bowling I was torn between my desire to do something so unreasonably fun and the idea that I had to wear those awful shoes. I’m always up for a good time though, so I went ahead and looked towards Willow Creek Lanes. When we drove up to the building I honestly, thought we were pulling into an old lodge-the building was surprisingly pretty. They had 20 lanes to play on with plenty of seating at each lane, which was a plus. They had a great music playlist in the background, the staff was incredible, friendly and kind especially with a huge group like ours and it didn’t smell either. One of the other missionaries even mentioned that he would willingly buy a pair of the bowling shoes and wear it around. It was wonderful experience at Willow Creek Lanes and I would recommend this place of business to anyone or any group.”

I am sure many of us dread some of the things she mentioned earlier in her statement on the outgoings of bowling, however thanks to some local bowling alleys who keep it fresh, updated and keep a staff who can amp up the fun, bowling alleys can be a very fun rewarding experience for everyone.
