Glen Burnie Bowling Center

Good place to play duckpin bowling, but the staff (especially the young girl at the front desk) are completely incompetent and rude. Also, please don't play rock, pop, and rap music so loud on your crappy speakers that you literally can't hear your partner you are bowling with, who is sitting right next to you.If the staff was worth two cents, this place would be better.

So if you are familiar with duckpin bowling you know that the bowling allies are slowly disappearing. This is a hidden gem on the outskirts of GB. They have about 30 lanes and the place is clean and well run. If you are in town for work or pleasure you should stop in to play a few games and have some food & beer. If you have never bowled duckpins then you are in for a treat. Abby and Mallory are the kindest and sweetest employees and will take care of your bowling needs. If you need a pointer or two just ask Abby for some tips.

I had never been before, but I came here to celebrate my wife's birthday. I went on a Sunday at 3pm and it was jam-packed. I got the last lane they had available. The whole place is duckpin bowling and the bumpers are always up, which makes it very accessible for kids (had my kids with me). I reserved the lane for 2 hours and the machine got stuck a few times, which cuts into your play time. The people do come out and fix it, but they're managing a lot so you have to wait for one of the staff to help. Overall, it's a decent place but it's little grungy and run down...bowling lanes get stuck, arcade machines not working, non-flushing toilets, and no toilet paper in the restroom. In these COVID times, they also don't require masks, so something to keep in mind depending on your comfort level of being out and about with others who are unmasked.

We were visiting DC and wanted to try Duck bowling since it's only located here in MD. This place was great! Amber was super sweet and accommodating. The place was clean, had hand sanitizer everywhere and their pizza was pretty good and fresh made. Not really any arcade games but that not what we came here for. Highly recommend it was super fun for our family.

My only negative is how dated this place is. Other than that, the staff is friendly, the bathrooms have toilet paper and soap, and the equipment works well. The reduced price makes it def worth spending an afternoon here.

we came to this location for the first time, thinking it was a regular bowling alley don"t remember the type of bowling but we had a ball highly recommend you give it a try

So this is what is called "duck pin bowling"...I'm thinking like "Wtf is this? Is there ducks decorated pins or balls involved with this bowling?" when I heard of this from my bf's sister.Place looks old & janky. Many of the tables were still dirty with trash from customers. They ran out of socks so an employee had to run over to Tuesday Morning to buy some.We were moved twice before getting to our right lanes since the first set of lanes were not working then the next set of lanes were too close to the area where the bowling league was going to start soon. Then finally we were set to lanes 21 & 22.So this "duck pin bowling" is bowling with a small ball that fits in one hand w/ no finger holes & smaller pins. It's basically bowling for little people. Or like skeeball but in bowling form.It's easier on your hand/shoulder muscles, but I much rather do old fashion regular bowling. Since the ball & pins are smaller & lighter--it's harder to actually get a strike/spare. Although your girl did get a spare & knocked down a remaining one pin. Whoop whoop yay me ;)Also, the concession stand took awhile & service was poor & unfriendly. Thumbs down.But yeah, classic bowling is still the way to go. None of this imitation wannabe bowling BS.

Such a good time! We've never even heard of duck bowling so that was a surprise but it actually made bowling so much more fun for the kids! The place is older but they have kept up with it and it is very clean for a public place. Employees were nice but maybe a little distracted by each other. Will definitely be back.

I had my grandchildren for the weekend and decided to take them to Glen Burnie Bowling. The woman at the front desk was rude. The moment we arrive she seemed irritated.Overlooking that, we asked for an hour of bowling. We paid for the hour and shoe rentals. We got to the lane and had to share 1 bowling ball. After a few minutes waiting, we spoke with the woman at the front desk. AGAIN! She was rude! The only thing I asked her was if we could get a couple more balls and the bumpers pulled up on the side. A few minutes later, several balls came through. We had to wait an additional 5 minutes for the bumpers to be pulled up for my 3 year old granddaughter.At one point the pins stopped coming down. My daughter went to ask the woman to reset them. About 10 minutes later it happed again so we decided to leave!WE WONT BE RETURNING!

I love coming here! Duckpin bowling is so much fun! But the balls they use here are horrible. The have so many dents in them, and they almost bounce down the lane sometimes. Needs new balls and new looks, but still a fun place to go to.
