Fall season started September 9 and bowls each night with warmup starting at 7:20 and bowling at 7:30. The Fall season will run 15 weeks (minus Thanksgiving and December 23), ending January 6.

Rules are always voted on at the meeting. Final Rules are Here. Nightly fees are $20.

Currently, everyone must wear a mask while indoors within the city of Raleigh except while actively eating or drinking. This includes wearing masks while bowling.

Feel free to email kingsqueensbowling@gmail.com with any questions, or check us out on Facebook.

After ending our Spring season early, we’re not sure when we will start back up again.

Bowling centers will not be open until NC is in Phase 3, so Phase 3 is a minimum. To be safe with a 15-week season commitment we should probably wait until there has been sustained Phase 3 or higher, for multiple months.
