Remember the days of bumper bowling birthday parties when you were a kid? Or the days of playing on your high school’s varsity bowling team? (We hear they exist!) Either way, Mardi-Bob’s is an opportunity for fun, nostalgia, and an opportunity to knock pins down with a giant ball at the end of your most stressful week of the semester—a must for many college students!

For $3.50 per person per game (that’s how much it cost when we were there), you can rent bowling shoes, a ball, and a lane. Mardi-Bob’s also has a snack bar (who can resist a delicious soft pretzel?) and everyone’s favorite arcade games—including that one where you use a giant metal claw to pick up cuddly teddy bears. Just remember to bring plenty of quarters!
