Before the discovery of bowling, hunter-gatherer recreation consisted of knocking down rows of captive sloths with mastodon gallstones. Enjoy an evolved form of entertainment with today's deal: for $5, you get three games of bowling and shoe rental at Thunderbird Lanes in Troy (up to a $14.25 value). Get up to seven Groupons to start a new hobby or to keep your hardened bowler skills from rusting.
With its dazzling Friday-night music and light show, Thunderbird Lanes is a multi-faceted treat to the senses, especially the sense of bowling. The gleaming, colorful alley boasts 46 lanes of 10-pin pleasure, complete with bumpers that automatically spring up for selected players, so aimless beginners can share a game with straight shooters. Automatic scoring machines save players from the cumbersome activity of math, and a well-stocked snack shop refuels their weary soul-sacks.
Like leaf color and the appropriateness of wearing short shorts, Thunderbird Lanes' hours and rates change with the seasons, giving each game a value of $1.99–$3.75, depending on time and season. Slap a pair of rental shoes ($3) on your eager dogs and grab a lane next Friday night for weekly Rock 'N' Bowl glow bowling, a visual experience akin to Terry Gilliam's Brazil, but with less symbolic ductwork.
Reservations are not required but are recommended on the weekends. Lanes are subject to availability.
