Throughout this post we will be breaking down the best bowling alleys and pro shops in New Orleans. Our main goal is to give you the info you are after whether you are a professional or just trying to have some fun at the lanes.
We can’t come up with a more practical way to begin this than by listing the best New Orleans bowling alleys. The majority of our readers are probably ready to hit the lanes right now making them the most logical place to start.
We’ll try to provide you with as much information as possible about what is available at each spot during our discussion of places to bowl near you. Some centers may host kids, adult, senior, or ladies leagues and tournaments and if so that will be noted.
Then we will discuss which alleys have cosmic bowling or are good for kid’s birthday parties, have laser tag, arcades, pool tables, or private rooms. Additionally we will try to fill you in on any specials, discounts, or happy hours for cheaper lane time in your area if we know about them.
Some alleys can be better for adults as they might have sports bars, live music, or just more of an adult party atmosphere. After that you will learn about where you can buy balls, bags, shoes, grips, finger inserts, and all kind of accessories at the best local bowling pro shops.
You can expect them to also be able to do things like drilling, plugging, fitting, resurfacing, cleaning and engraving. Towards the end you will even find an alley and pro shop map so you can get a better feel for the area, and you are all welcome to read more of our posts on this part of the world right there.
