Its price list, headed fall and winter 2023 and 2024, offers a one-hour package with shoes and a pizza plus pitcher of pop, a two-hour family package for a full lane, and an hourly lane rental, each with up to six people per lane. A Sunday special gives three games for $9.95, with shoes charged separately.
