HIDDEN GEMS
WORDS BY STEFFY MCCOURT
10 Pins 10 Pins is a hidden gem hiding in a hidden gem city itself: Franklin, Indiana. The bowling alley and arcade offers duckpin bowling, which is similar to regular bowling, except that everything is miniaturized. This actually proves to be quite perfect for kids! The bowling balls are more manageable, the lanes are shorter and the game moves more quickly. 10 Pins has a rustic look to it: You wouldn’t be too terribly surprised to see John Wayne saunter in for a quick game. Despite its rusticity, the bowling alley has the modern elements you expect from an entertainment center, including a jukebox with a good mix of music to please all ages. The technology for each lane is also very fun, especially when celebrating strikes!
delivered to your party while on the lanes. When the kids get tired of bowling, there is a pretty cool arcade area in the back, which features a blend of old and new games. Afterward, be sure to give yourself time to walk around the square. It’s chock-full of bustling restaurants, coffee houses and ice cream shops.
