My Dad used to be kind of a pro bowler, and would compete her every Monday night for hours. I used to go along sometimes and hang in the crèche, play the skill testers and run amok with the other lonely kids. Bowling is an awesome activity, I used to love going during school holidays and for birthday parties, and have been hanging out for ages to go lately! Golden Grove is one of the biggest and oldest bowling centres I’ve been to around Adelaide, and the place is very open and fun. The lanes are quite easy, have bumpers, are quite well serviced and the technology has been upgrading constantly. There are plenty of balls to choose from, good food, a bar and pro shop. One thing with bowling though, it’s not the cheapest. so take advantage of holiday deals and get a group together. But it’s a nice, cool way to spend a few hours in a hot summer.
