Description
Duck-pin bowling - if you're from New York, you may not know what that is. Basically it's like mini-golf, except it's bowling. You roll a ball around the size of a softball and the pins are proportionately small, maybe around the size of those old glass coke bottles (strangely reminiscent of ducks, though unclear why). This makom is unique even for duck-pin places. "Old school" is an understatement - you have to keep your own score with pen and paper and press "reset" between players; bumpers (optional) are similar to couch pillows jabbed into the gutters.
Tips
- Definitely a great idea if you're looking for something interesting and fun to do, and not at all expensive.
- You will likely be the youngest people there, by a few decades.
- In a strange area of Baltimore, but not too far from regular civilization.
- Generally a very calm and quiet place. Call first to make sure they have available lanes and aren't booked from their leagues. Also confirm times when "Rock n' Bowl" starts and plan accordingly.
Hours Subject to change. Always verify.
