A bowling alley is a place where people go to bowl, a mostly recreational sport. Bowling consists of angling a ball down the alley to knock over pins and score points. Most bowling alleys do not have many windows; glare on the lanes could hinder bowlers from seeing where to direct the ball. Most bowling alleys have at least 10 lanes, and many have 50 or more. Special shoes must be worn on the highly polished lanes. These shoes are available for rental in various sizes, though some bowlers buy their own. Many bowlers have their own bowling balls as well, but the bowling alley has a variety of sizes that anyone can use. Behind the lanes are rest areas where players can sit and keep score while observing their partners' game. Most bowling alleys offer restrooms, lockers and changing rooms to change into comfortable clothing for the game. Many bowling alleys also have refreshment stands or small restaurants that serve snacks, foods and alcoholic beverages. more »
