As far as rates are concerned, remember that you live in Silver Spring Maryland, two miles from Washington DC, we pay high rent for our houses, they are paying very high rent for their commercial building as well. That is why it is 2 or $3 more than normal. But it is absolutely worth it to have kids that actually enjoy coming back and bowling because they can actually accrue a score.
The staff is very friendly and does whatever it takes to make sure that you have a really good time. The guy that said this place was "stuck in the past" , yes, it is stuck in the past, and I like it that way.
This bowling alley needs a makeover. No frills is an understatement. Same equipment as when I took my boys here for league bowling in the 90s. Don't mind spending money but won't b back until they're renovated.
Let me break this down
Give it a shot, it's old, it's a little bit dirty, but it's exactly what I wanted period I should not have to dress up nice to go bowling. So I will do my bowling at duckpin bowling. And that's just how it's going to be.
You have to keep score on sheets, yes. Because they haven't made the machines for duckpins in over 50 years. Sorry they didn't have computerized bowling in 1958... guess you'll have to do extremely simple math in your head.
The staff are friendly, helpful, and obviously work there because they love the game. And the equipment is well-maintained too. Not only that, but they have a classic atmosphere. You don't feel like you need to look like a pro to fit in. It's friendly to beginners, and just plain friendly all the way around.

This is the best duckpins place around.
I normally don't complete ratings, but the representative Cynthia N. From the white Oak Tmobile store just went above and beyond to provide excellent customer service to me. I was so angry when I walked in the store regarding my phone not working but I was happy when I got out. She was very courteous and professional. I worked in customer service department for 16 years and that's what customer service looks like.
Friendly service. Great for families.
I have been bowling for many years, and I don't think I've ever had as much fun as being able to take that little bitty cannonball in sin that thing down range like a sniper. As a kid I had a hard time managing grownups bowling balls. But my son who is 10 and small for his age can match my score because he can actually get his hand around the ball.
4. Kid friendly.
Love this place. It is absolutely THE BEST.
The people that typically go there are good people, not a lot of Riff Raff, and typically has a great margin of people. I even know a few NASA guys that only bowl at this facility because they love the environment.
1. Staff that CARES!
3. Game nights like all other bowling lanes.
2. Big enough to feel legit, small enough not to attract crowds.
