Frequently Asked Questions

Duckpin bowling is a fun, miniature version of traditional ten-pin bowling. The pins are shorter, the bowling balls are smaller (lightweight and fitting easily in the palm of your hand), and the gameplay is casual and fast-paced—think of it as a blend of bowling and skee-ball! We charge $7.00 per person, per game, with a maximum of 5 players per lane.

No! One of the best parts about duckpin bowling at Hoppin' Vines is that no rented bowling shoes are required. You can keep your regular street shoes on, grab a craft beer or glass of wine, and roll.

Yes, duckpin bowling is great for kids and families of all ages! Because the balls are lightweight without finger holes and fit easily in small hands, children can easily bowl without needing bumpers or heavy equipment.

All bowling lanes are first-come, first-served for walk-in guests. When we have an active waitlist, groups are limited to one game so everyone gets a chance to play, and you can add your name right back onto the waitlist at the host desk. When there is no waitlist, you are welcome to play multiple games in a row!
