Open duckpin bowling in Towson.

Duckpin FAQ

What is duckpin bowling?

Baltimore's own game, invented around 1900: grapefruit-sized balls with no finger holes, squat little pins, and three rolls per frame instead of two. Nobody in recorded history has ever bowled a perfect 300 — maybe you'll be first.

Do I need my own ball or shoes?

No — house balls live on every lane and rental shoes are at the desk. Catch the bug? The pro shop will set you up.

Can I bring food or drinks?

Outside food isn't permitted (the snack bar has you covered) — but you can always BYOB.

Is duckpin good for young kids?

It's the best version of bowling for kids — balls under 4 lbs, no finger holes, no heavy equipment. That's why our birthday parties are legendary.
