Not For Kids! I visited Country Lanes recently with a scout group. I am no bowling expert, but all of the bowling alleys I have been to in the past many years have had the automatic bumpers that go up or down depending on the bowler. Country Lanes doesn’t have these types of lanes. That is okay… I understand an upgrade is probably very expensive. The bumpers that they do have are the black drain tiles that you connect to the end of your gutters. No problems… they seemed to work just fine. My complaint is that they only have two sets of these«bumpers». If you have more than 10 or so kids in your group, some of them will be stuck bowling on lanes without bumpers. Bowling when you get a gutter ball every time isn’t much fun for a kid.
