The bowling: 20 lanes, sorted for little ones

There are 20 lanes in total, with VIP lanes offering comfier seats and private bowling for groups. For young children there are bumpers that stop the ball going into the gutter and ramps that let them push the ball down without bowling by hand, and the smallest ball is 6lb.
