A 2019 build on Cross Street
Bethel's bowling center was constructed from the ground up in 2019, and the 10 Brunswick ten-pin lanes on Cross Street are correspondingly recent. Alongside them, the center says, is the biggest arcade in the area, three pool tables, darts, cornhole and 17 televisions, which gives the building a sports-bar character as well as a bowling one.
Opening days run Wednesday to Sunday. Wednesday and Thursday start at 3 PM and end at 9 PM, Friday and Saturday run from noon to 10 PM, and Sunday runs noon to 7 PM. Lanes are charged by the hour rather than by the game: $40 for up to six people, with shoes at $3. That structure makes a group booking easy to plan, and a family can fill an hour with a mix of bowling and arcade games.
Open Wednesday to Sunday
The center is not listed as open on Monday or Tuesday.
