Parkville Bowling Lanes

Two of us came here last evening to have some food and bowl duckpins. We had enough time to play two games. We got some tater tots and Yuengling beers from the snack bar that were A-OK. I was sad when they started blasting some heavy metal music around 6pm but I have to assume this is part of the culture. We will be back to try to master duckpins.

If you're looking to waste your money then this is the place for you. Not only do they not let you finish your frames you paid for they make you buy their nasty tasting pizza which is not worth the money.. I'm switching to AMF lanes... atLeast they let you finish your game and the food is much better and cheaper.!!!DO NOT BOWL HERE!!!!!

Great place to take the kids for an afternoon of Duckpin bowling. I found everything to be very clean and well maintained. I have only one complaint, which I think is more than valid and preventing a 5 star rating, it is the $5.00 charge for putting the bumpers up on the lane. As a long time bowler and a league bowler, and now a Duckpin bowler, I'm no stranger to bowling alleys. I have NEVER heard of anyone charging to put the bumpers on a lane when kids are bowling. This seems like a bit of a scam if you ask me, considering I've also been to Stoneleigh lanes, no charge for bumpers. AMF Towson, no charge for bumpers, and Patterson bowling, no charge for bumpers. I've been to bowling alleys from Baltimore to New York, and even points to the West - NO CHARGE FOR BUMPERS. Really, it's ridiculous.

I love that Parkville Bowling Lanes has been around for forever! My grandfather used to bowl here. It's duck pin so that's a great change of pace when you get tired of the standard 10-pin. The place itself is still quite outdated, and Parkville is becoming not as nice as area. But it's still fun nonetheless! What more do you want from a bowling alley besides fun?

I've been here three times. Twice for parties and once with friends and our kids. Bowling is fine. My kids are little and don't care about keeping score. The balls seem to get stuck a lot but that could be because the kids are messing with them? The pizza is like 1 star- lay off the oregano or whatever is on there, please! But I'm not sure that I should expect gourmet pizza from a Bmore bowling alley either. Shoes are fine, place and bathrooms are clean. It's outdated but aren't all bowling alleys?

I'm a fan because it's duckpin bowling.Also because it's run by a nice (although a little awkward at times) man.Also also, because it's fairly cheap, it's a fun time (when getting those strikes), the music is horribly 'from the past' good, the people are always interesting, and you can typically get lanes no prob.If you're not into the Dundalk-esque crowd or style, don't bother. You should probably find a more upscale duckpin alley.Or you should just skip duck-pinning.

Duckpin is weirdo small ball bowling. Kinda fun though. Clean lanes- not cheap though for balls that small :). Discount per ball size????

We had the coolest experience at Parkville. We had a very large group and staff was very friendly and accommodating. Great communication!! Just remember to bring cash.

Lane 4 did not work at all. After complaining 5 times they finally reimbursed us. Fine and good... then my cousins showed up; paying for drinks not but not bowling because there were no more lanes and they were kicked out. I get it if they don't want rif raf in, but they were paying for drinks so I get it I guess I get it

Checked website for open bowling. Didn't say anything about the tournament they were having and rode all the way there and sign on door saying no bowling after 1. Why not out it on the website?????
