It is the go-to for birthday parties and group outings, with party packages that combine bowling and laser tag.
Know before you go: Circle Bowl prices by the hour per lane rather than per game. Its own rate page lists roughly $30 an hour Monday through Thursday and up to about $70 an hour Friday through Sunday, with rates shifting for holidays and seasons. Bumpers are free.
