Shelburne Falls Bowling Alley, Shelburne Falls

This is my new favorite bowling alley. Eight lanes makes for a cozy, exclusive experience. Two of us arrived at 4pm on a Saturday and were greeted warmly by the manager Tony, who's a real gent. They charge by the hour, which was enough time for us to play a full, three string game. The actual lanes are fantastic which made for a great roll (you'll probably score above your average, we both did), historic New England feel (the place opened in 1906!), plenty of refreshments and a well-stocked bar. This is the real deal, no frills, no distractions. No pool table, no air hockey, no horrible pizza. Nothing but half-worcesters, spread eagles, deadwood, a glorious candlepin experience. It was totally worth the hours drive for us (plus it's off the beautiful Mohawk Trail). Five stars easy, most highly recommended. Thanks again, Tony!

Great hidden gem tucked away behind the main drag. Family friendly atmosphere and lots of star wars touches throughout makes it fun. My son had a blast on his first bowling experience.
