Bowling is like taking a road test: the only way to win is to knock over more obstacles than everyone else. Cruise to victory with today’s Groupon: for $79, you get a bowling party for up to 10 kids at Harley’s Camarillo Bowl in Camarillo (a $189.95 value).

Duckpin-hunting season opens in festive fashion at Harley’s Camarillo Bowl, where two party packages outfit pintsized players with up to two hours of bowling and a litany of celebration essentials. The Extravaganza package offers up 90 minutes of pin-pummeling merriment on the bumper-optional lanes as well as access to the party room for one hour; the Atomic package dims the lights and cranks up the music for two full hours of bass-driven bowling amid black lights, glowing pins, and a complete absence of gravity. Both options include stylish tri-toned alley kicks and arcade tokens for all party-goers, along with lightweight balls that can be thrown with ease by the tiniest of hands or the strongest of feet. A complete party setup puts taste buds on the guest list with plates of cheese or pepperoni pizza and bottomless fountains of soda, fruit punch, and pink lemonade.

With enough wide and glistening lanes to rival a frozen and freshly zambonied Olympic swimming pool, Harley’s expansive alley easily accommodates large private parties. Additional bowlers can be added to each party package for $18 each, while parents and pin pacifists retreat to carpeted islands of amusement in the alley’s large arcade. At the party's end, the birthday boy or girl returns home with his or her very own used bowling pin as a souvenir of the special day––perfect for display on a trophy shelf or for winning back the favor of an imaginary juggler friend.
