It used to be that bowling is done on bowling alleys, that is, places where the only thing you can find are bowling lanes and bowlers, and the only thing you can do is play bowling. However, ever since the popularity of the sport, families have started to frequent bowling alleys and so, the usual alleys have evolved to something that is much more family-friendly: the bowling center.

A bowling center is large hall because of the numerous bowling alleys it may contain. The area where the bowling alleys are located does not have supporting beams, because bowling requires a clear view of the bowling lane. The large room would be supported by its walls, as well as the beams at the back of the bowling alleys, where the restaurants and other entertainment are usually located.

A bowling center may contain up to 50 or more bowling alleys. Each bowling alley would consist of a 75 by 3.5 foot lane with polished paint marks, two 60-foot gutters, two 60-foot borders, front wall, ten pins, a bowling machine, bowling ball-retrieving machine, ball tunnel, ball sorter, game computer and monitor(s), players' seats and table, hand dryer, and bowling ball rack with extra balls.

There would be about 50 or so bowling alleys in one center, with each alley consisting of 70 x 3.5-foot lanes, two 60-foot gutters (one on each side), two 60-foot borders, and the front wall. Beyond the wall, hidden from players' views, the bowling ball machine takes care of placing the ten pins as well as relaying the ball back to the player via tunnels that connect to the ball-sorting machine.

For the people who are really not into bowling, there is also the gaming area where billiard or pool tables may be found. Usually, each pool has its own light as well as a mini-bar. The mini-bar is bound to serve more varieties of alcoholic drinks as the usual patrons of the gaming area are adults.

The arcade video game area is usually for children or adolescents. It should be separated or enclosed, because the noise may disturb other people in the bowling center. There can be several arcade video machines in one room, ranging from toy games, shooting games, driving games, fighting games, and others.

Lastly, there is the reception area where the players can pay for their games or rent shoes and other bowling equipment. The reception area is also where you go if you want to ask for information regarding the place or the games.
