Bowling alleys across the country have upgraded to appeal to kids and youth players, and Fairfield County is no exception. Fun for all ages, bowling is a fun outing any time of the year, whether it is too cold to be outdoors or if it’s sweltering and you want to stay indoors. Bring the family to a bowling alley near you, lace up those bowling shoes, and bowl a strike (or maybe three for a turkey!) for a fun day out, from cosmic bowling to other themed lanes. Find bowling alleys throughout Fairfield County, including Brookfield, Danbury, Fairfield, Norwalk, and Shelton.
