Before bowling the sport, "bowling" referred to getting a kitchen haircut from Mom or pouring soup into your own cupped hand. Enjoy a less scalding sport with today's Groupon: for $30, you get a family fun pack, including eight bowling games, four shoe rentals, and 40 game tokens, at Ryan Family Amusements in Millis (up to a $63.60 value using evening rates).
