Classic Cinemas Charlestowne 18, St. Charles

Beneath the historic Tivoli Theatre lies Tivoli Bowl, an underground playground with a dedicated staff and 12 family-friendly lanes with automatic scoring. At the base of an inconspicuous staircase, slick wooden surfaces greet multicolored balls as they careen toward unsuspecting pins. During "glow bowling" sessions, lights go down and music cranks up, lending lanes a luminescent ambiance. Along with adult and youth leagues, open gutters and protective bumpers accommodate different age and skill groups. While waiting for turns, bowlers can hit the lounge area, where 50-inch televisions assist relaxation along with comfortable seating. Pinball, arcade games, and pool round out afternoon retreats to downtown Downers Grove.
