Collins Bowling Center is family-owned and operated, and they actually have two separate locations within Lexington, Eastland and Southland Bowling Lanes, so you have a couple of options for your bowling experience. And both offer the same impressive features, including good prices, leagues, tournament and a variety of event packages.
History
Eastland Bowling Lanes dates back to 1959, while Southland was built the following year. At first, the alleys were actually owned by Chakeres Theatres, a local movie theater chain. The current name and ownership came about over 15 years later when Patrick Collins bought both alleys in 1977. Collins Bowling Centers, Inc. has been operating both properties ever since.
Bowling Highlights
Both locations offer a few specials in addition to their open bowling rates that range from $2-$5/game depending on the day and time (the rates at Eastland are actually lower). These specials include a Pizza/Pop/Pinz feature which includes a large pizza, 2 hours of bowling, shoe rental, unlimited refills on soft drinks.
There is also an All You Can Bowl Special on selected evenings where you can bowl as many games as you can from 9pm-close for $10 ($10.95 at Southland).
Finally, for the most glamorous of the special promotions, Southland throws a Monte Carlo Bowling night every Sunday at 8pm. You can bowl 3 games for $15 and get the chance to win real cash prizes including a $100 jackpot!
Collins Kids Club
While the Monte Carlo night appeals to adult bowlers, there’s plenty at Collins for the kids, as well. They actually have a special Collins Kids Club which is intended to give children a safe way to have fun during the summer. Kids under 15 can sign up for two free games a day for an entire summer!
Finally, Collins Bowling Centers offer a wide variety of leagues for all bowlers and hold regular tournaments for those who like to get competitive.
