This was a pretty cool experience for my son and I. Upon arriving, he wasnt happy and thought hed be bored. They had several interactive games that he enjoyed, and we even did the bowling triva together, which we enjoyed. I highly recommend going. Its different and definitely worth it.

I began bowling in the Junior Leagues a little over 60 years ago. Our entire family bowled, and Dads business even sponsored our team. I came to visit my daughter with just one request; that I wanted to go to the International Bowling Museum & Hall of Fame. I was not disappointed. There is very much to view and learn here and I would recommend it to everyone. My only request is to add some information, somewhere, about Mark Roth (my favorite from my early years). Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Very nice little museum. My boy loves to play bowling, so I took him to this place so he could learn about the history of it. The short film was informative and not boring for kids. Plenty to see in that small room. The staff are friendly. Bathroom and everywhere are clean. Theres a bowling alley in the end where you can play as long as you want.

This a great place to visit the sport of bowling has been around for hundreds if not thousands of years in one form or another.this museum shows the history of this great world wide sport that great for the young and old it fun for the hole family, they have so much to see and they keep adding to it as they get new items and they still growing. I and my family enjoy bowling we have been here quite a few times and are supporters of this place. We believe you will enjoy visiting here and do highly recommend a visit to here for all who like bowling great for the hole family.

Hope to see while in town, lots of positive reviews. Edit: went back next day to see if they were open, still didnt answer phones... were closed as a floating holiday on July 5th. BUT it WAS worth going back if you enjoy bowling or history of the sport! Glad we saw it. Took us about 1 1/2 hours.

We had a blast at the training center. Even tho it was for professionals the gentleman at the from allowed me and my family to bowl for an hour and it wasnt expensive at all. It was very fun and thanks to that experience I look forward to bowling more often. I used to hate bowling but thanks to that gentleman being very kind and letting us bowl, I want to bowl more. I hope they are as kind to everyone as they were to us but I will definitely recommend taking your family there, hopefully you have the same great experience as we did.

What I expected to be a 15 minute museum visit ended up being an excellent - and surprisingly fun - 2+ hour trip. There is a wealth of information available about the history of pre-ten pin bowling, the evolution of the sport, the technology for all aspects of bowling, interactive exhibits and video games, and a free mini 2 lane alley you can use to your hearts content. Theres a lot of information about women bowlers, which was excellent considering how little they are shown on TV or media. Their present stars and their role in making bowling popular in the late 1800s through to today are both covered. If you dont read anything, you could be done quite quickly, but if you take the time, theres a whole lot to see and learn from. This same facility is also the USBC headquarters and the campus has the training center for the Olympic and Junior Olympic teams. If you schedule time with a coach, you can use the lanes and improve your game after checking out the museum.
