FAQs

How can I book Rinky Dink Bowling?

Head over to our booking page and answer a few questions to get the ball rolling with us!

What can I expect the day of my event?

We will arrive one hour prior to the scheduled start time to set up. After set up is complete, we will leave the venue and will come back at the scheduled end time to begin tear down.

How long does it take to set up and tear down?

It takes about 30 minutes to set up and tear down. It could take longer depending on how far away our truck is from the install location.

How much does it cost to rent?

Reach out on our booking page so we can provide a custom quote for you and your event! Our pricing is based on availability, event duration, event location and number of participants. ** All reservations require a 50% NON REFUNDABLE deposit and a signed service agreement that secures the event date and time. The remaining balance must be paid in full at least 14 days prior to your scheduled event.

How big is the bowling alley? 

With a two lane rental, the bowling alley is 20 feet long and 5 feet wide. One lane is only 2.5 feet wide. 

How wide does my door or gate need to be for the alley to fit?

In order to fit the bowling alley in your space we need an opening that is no less than 30 inches wide. If you're not sure about your space, contact us. 

Can the bowling alley be used at night?

Yes it can! As long as we have access to an outlet, the bowling alley can light up so you can play well into the night.

Is it noisy?

It sounds like a bowling alley with a ball cruising down the lane crashing into pins. Our customers love the ambiance it adds with the sound of bowling and squeals of joy when someone gets a strike.

Can little ones bowl on the Rinky Dink lanes?

Children are some of our favorite bowlers. The lane sits only 16 inches off the ground so that virtually everyone can play. 

Can the bowling alley sit on uneven ground?

Yes, but only to an extent. The ball return uses gravity, so it may not work as well as intended. We can handle some waves and bumps in the ground, but the flatter the ground, the better!

Do we have to set up each pin after every throw? 

No, you don't! With the pull of a rope the pins will reset themselves just like a typical bowling alley. 

Do we have to retrieve the bowling balls?

No, you don't! The balls are fed back to you via a ball return lane just like a typical bowling alley.
