If life is just a bowl of cherries, then bowling is a life of launching 12-pound cherry-flavored gum balls. Experience life's sweetest pastime with today's Groupon: for $18, you get two hours of unlimited bowling and shoe rental for four people at Rainbow Lanes in Clayton (up to a $67.40 value).

Rainbow Lanes' confines brim with the sounds of clattering pins and jovial celebration as bowlers sling their spherical charges along the gleaming alleys. Strap on a pair of stylish shoes, choose an appropriately sized ball, and saunter over to a lane to peacefully settle athletic disputes. Late in the evening, black lights illuminate the lanes, balls, colorful pins, and patrons with a psychedelic iridescence, giving the sport a vibrant new edge like an umpire with a kaleidoscope. The alley's free WiFi allows skilled rollers to multitask, and though food is not included in this Groupon, the full snack bar serves a selection of pub fare and beers to satiate between-game cravings. The facility also includes a separate billiards room, arcade, mini himalayan ride, and other delights and distractions.

Rainbow Lanes' prices vary throughout the week.
