Bowling is a popular underhanded activity, similar to pitching a softball or tickling a lion's chin. Tickle competitively and safely with today’s Groupon: for $18, you get a bowling Fun Pack, including two hours of bowling and shoe rental for up to six people, at Eastridge Lanes (a $40 value).

Eastridge Lanes opens a Pandora’s box of bowling culture to Amarillo by housing 32 lanes, a café, and a professional-bowling-supply shop. The Eastridge Fun Pack outfits up to six bowlers with all the requisite amenities for two hours of unlimited pin pummeling. After selecting shoes and bowling balls, customers can cozy up to a lane, where slickly laminated strips of wood rifle balls toward their hourglass-figure targets. Eastridge furnishes each lane with handy, brains-free computerized scoring systems, and sphere rollers can redeem the Fun Pack any time the lanes are open, including during the tri-weekly, neon-lit Lunar Bowling, during which bowlers can discuss Apollo 11 and hurl moon rocks down the lanes instead of bowling balls.
