Bowling pins are synonymous with fun, whether they're being knocked down, juggled, or dressed up as decoys for the carpool lane. Get in the fast lane with today's Groupon: for $5, you get two games of bowling and shoe rental at Strike & Spare Family Entertainment (up to a $12.20 value). This Groupon is redeemable at the Family Bowl, Western Avenue, and Fountain Lanes locations.

Each Strike & Spare bowling center welcomes 10 pinners 365 days a year with clean lobbies, a family-friendly vibe, and more than 30 lustrous lanes. Clad in slick-bottomed rental shoes, bowlers unleash orb-tossing melees in back-to-back rounds punctuated by thumb stretches and motivational speeches recited to throwing arms. Between frames, players recline on chairs or plush benches as cohorts draw spherical weapons amid the delightful click and clack of the automatic scoring machine and its robotic abacus. Patrons can also punish pins during an illuminated evening of planet rock or cosmic bowling.

Though additional items are not included in today's Groupon, bowlers can keep fingers limber by button mashing at the game arcade or scoot up to the snack bar or spirits-stocked lounge to bolster friendships and debate the correct spelling of Albuquerque. Today's deal grants admission for one bowler, though groups can bowl together if each member brandishes a Groupon, pays regular price, or vows to rid the alley of ghosts. Customers may buy up to 10 Groupons for a season's worth of play or 10 days of condensed bowling merriment.

Strike & Spare Family Entertainment's rates fluctuate throughout the week.
