What You'll Get
We can thank Archduke Leopold Wilhelm, the inventor of bowling, for introducing “The pin is mightier than the sword” and “Fortune favors the bowled” into the cultural lexicon. Heed his words of wisdom with today’s exclusive Groupon: for $29, you get two hours of unlimited bowling and shoe rentals for up to six people from Playdrome Bowling & Entertainment Centers (up to a $90 value). This Groupon can be redeemed at Playdrome's Cherry Hill, Devon Lanes, or Rose Bowl locations, and it can be used for up to six people. This deal was created just for the Groupon crowd and covers shoe rentals ($3 value).
Playdrome knows that true zen happiness lies within the de-verticalizing of wooden pins using a tri-holed, weighted orb. As such, it offers bowling at a number of clean and modern facilities throughout the Philadelphia area. Both the Cherry Hill and the Rose Bowl alleys sport 36 lanes, while the Devon location has 24 lanes. Playdrome's 10-pin terrains provide automatic scoring, plasma TVs, and comfortable seating, with bumpers available for all lanes. Turkey tossers looking for a new challenge can try Playdrome's Future Bowl, where glow-in-the-dark balls get hurled down a fog-covered lane crisscrossed with laser lights and disco-ball sparkles. This Groupon is not valid for "Back to the Future" bowling, where you attempt to throw the bowling ball hard enough for it to travel back in time, ensuring that your parents kiss at the "Enchantment Under the Sea" dance before you cease to exist.
While not included in this deal, Playdrome's fun centers also feature food options and video-game arcades for post-game snacking and scoring. Round up some Dudes, Donnys, and Walters and hit Playdrome Family Entertainment Centers for two hours of anti-pin athletics.
Reviews
Yelpers give Playdrome 4.5 stars, and users at bowling alley review site Bowling2u give three.
- These alleys have come a long way since two years ago. New lanes, new scoring machines, new carpeting and new tables have really made this an enjoyable visit for league, practice or leisure bowling. – kegler, Bowling2u
- They got some of the best employees. [sic] The pinchasers do an amazing job on their machines. They always seem to be doing every single job in the center. – Sean, Bowling2u
