Elgin Bowling Lanes

Feet clad in soft soles gingerly approach the line before a bowling ball thumps onto the lane and speeds toward a set of pins whose destiny remains in the balance. At Elgin Bowling Lanes, this pattern perpetuates thousands of times during operating hours, whether the hand releasing the ball belongs to a child, amateur adult, or league aficionado. Public bowling sessions open the lanes to guests who walk in or book ahead over the phone, and youth and adult leagues give players a taste of organized, professional sportsmanship. The center also serves pizza, chicken burgers, and fries, whether for eating or superstitiously stuffing into opponents' shoes for good luck.
