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 $20, you get 90 minutes of five-pin bowling, shoes, choice of snack, and a 12-ounce pop for each of up to five players at Rouge Hill Bowling Centre in Scarborough (up to a $58.25 value). This Groupon is valid for Rouge Hill's reduced summer rates July–August or toward higher rates September–October.

With its banquet hall, fully stocked snack bar, and panoply of pin-centric delights, Rouge Hill's relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere gathers guests in bowling games and frolicsome fetes. Organize a pin-decimating posse and bring lane-side justice to a 90-minute session of five-pin bowling (up to a $30 value) with shoes for five (up to a $3 value/pair). Globe rollers can keep up their strength or relive a favourite state dinner with a choice of snacks such as potato chips, pretzels, and peanuts (up to a $1.25 value each) and five 12-ounce pours of pop (a $1.65 value each). To cease further refreshment pangs, branch out with additional purchases of any of the snack bar's various viands, such as hamburgers, chicken burgers, pancakes, and more (not covered in this Groupon).

Rouge Hill's banquet hall and colourful decor make it the perfect venue for children's birthday parties or one-man Beowulf adaptations. Lanes can accommodate up to six people and tend to fill up quickly, so be sure to stake out your waxed-wood claims with a reservation.
