A new trend has been hitting the college event space: blacklight bowling! This portable bowling alley has been making a name for itself over the last few years. If you’re like most people, you’re probably unsure of what Blacklight Bowling actually is.
What is Blacklight Bowling?
Blacklight Bowling, Midnight Bowling, or Cosmic Bowling, whatever you want to call it, is an interactive entertainment event, typically used for college orientations, corporate events, and other planned entertainment events. This attraction consists of a portable bowling alley with 2 to 4 bowling lanes.
Portable Blacklight Bowling alleys are fun, engaging events that are glowing with neon-lit lanes for your guests to use for the duration of the event
How do Portable Bowling Alleys Work?
You may be wondering, “How will I get a bowling alley in my student union?” Well, it’s not as difficult as it may seem! We bring everything and set everything up. We have someone on site who will help you with the event and manage the setup and breakdown, so you can focus on what you need to.
Everything included with Blacklight Bowling can be broken down and shipped to the desired location.
The Portable Bowling Alley set up includes:
- The Bowling Lanes
- The Digital Scoring System
- Real Bowling Pins
- Real Bowling Balls
- Blacklights
Once the event has been shipped to the location, it can be unpacked and set up to transform any space into an immersive bowling experience that your guests will love.
How much space do I need for a Portable Bowling Alley?
For the portable bowling alley itself, you need a space that is 40 feet wide and 25 feet long, that has at least a 7-foot high ceiling. Additionally, you will want space to seat students or guests who are participating.
The bowling alley set up can be a part of a bigger set of attractions, or be the main attraction itself. However, if you feel it can fit your event’s theme, it can work. You don’t need to go to a bowling alley to include it as an activity on your campus!
Why Blacklight Bowling is Trending
Bowling has, for a long time, been a classic source of entertainment for friends, family, and even strangers to do together. When you consider the good points of bowling its no wonder why blacklight bowling has been so successful. It’s a good, old-fashioned way of competing and conversing with friends. Oh, and it also makes for great video content of friends!
Blacklight Bowling is Perfect for Connection
Bowling, in general, as a sport, has always been able to be enjoyed by a wide variety of people. In modern times, where college students and young people are struggling to connect with eachother more than ever, interactive entertainment like bowling shines out.
People who bowl together will compete and engage with eachother. Those who may have never spoken to each other before bowling may become good friends by the end of their games. As a social event, bowling really is a powerhouse for building connections.
Portable Bowling Makes Fun Convenient.
Despite the fun, most people don’t take the time out of their busy schedules to go to a bowling alley and experience this event. This is especially true for college students; going to a bowling alley sounds fun, but the time investment is too great.
With Blacklight Bowling, the fun comes to you. Someone will be much more likely to participate and have a great time in an event when it’s accessible. Having bowling in the student union is much more appealing to students than needing to travel to a bowling alley and then pay the costs to get in.
Blacklight Bowling is an Indoor Event
The reality is that amazing events or experiences get cancelled because of the weather. This problem is avoided through an indoor event. Blacklight bowling is an entirely indoor experience, meaning it’s the perfect event for the winter or rainy season. Having a portable bowling alley come to you really makes the whole experience so much easier.
Bowling is Something that Everyone can Participate In.
The problem with many sports as entertainment is that you will always have people who don’t want to exert themselves or people who aren’t athletic, or who will struggle to participate safely with those who are more prepared.
Bowling side steps this issue. The nature of bowling allows almost anyone to participate and have a good time, regardless of their athleticism or skill level. Someone who has never bowled before can pick up bowling with a group of friends and still have an amazing time.
This makes Portable Blacklight Bowling a perfect form of entertainment to bring to your event that will allow everyone to participate and engage with eachother.
Not to mention, bowling is just a fun activity to do. Its been a reliable source of entertainment for years! When you add neon lights and a cosmic atmosphere, it can elevate the event to a truly unique and exciting experience that your guests won’t want to miss
