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 $10, you get three games of bowling, one shoe rental, and a large pizza at Manatee Lanes in Crystal River (up to a $22 total value).

Manatee Lanes sports myriad lacquered lanes for competitive bouts of 10-pin in a family-friendly atmosphere. Stroll in during an open-bowling session for three thunderous games (up to a $3.25 value per game), which can be played out by one bowler or spread out among three competitive friends. After renting a pair of sporting shoes (up to a $2.75 value) from the helpful, bowling-savvy staff, lace up the kicks and pick a trusty ball ready to knock down pins and hold tight to any secrets you whisper into its finger holes. The alley's 30 lanes wield Brunswick Synthetic surfaces, Qubica automatic scoring systems, and optional bumpers that allow children to play along with their sphere-tossing parents.

Groups and solo rollers spend the downtime between each frame refueling for the next strike with a large, two-topping pizza (a $9.50 value) from Manatee Lanes' snack bar. Patrons can visit the in-house sports bar, Hot Shotz, to purchase further refreshments such as beer and buffalo wings, check for scores on multiple televisions, or test their ability to make projectiles stop on command during free games on the shuffleboard table.

Manatee Lanes' rates vary from day to day and are sometimes deeply discounted; check before you go to ensure you're using your Groupon at the most opportune time.
