Fourteen candlepin lanes at Harvard Bowling Lanes set the stage for epic battles between groups of friends or amiable foes. Candlepin bowlers roll scaled down, hole-free balls toward 10 slender, cylindrical pins, attempting to knock them all down in each three-ball frame. As rollers bask in the classic bowling décor of the alley, classic paper scoring methods keep track of ongoing feuds and tallies. Between frames, rollers can refuel with snack machines or try their luck in the on-site arcade, replete with redemption prizes and a photo gallery of international gutter art.
