A New Spin on Family Fun The new Pinz Bowling Center at Wahooz Family Fun Zone in Meridian has polished up the bowling experience and made it shiny and new for Treasure Valley families. Pinz made its debut in November as the first new bowling alley to open in the area 25 years, and is fast becoming a favorite for bowlers of all ages. Pinz features 24 lanes with vibrant, contemporary interiors, in a smoke-free, family-friendly atmosphere. Bowlers can watch their favorite music videos or sporting events on giant HD screens at the end of each lane. Pinz offers cosmic bowling Thursday-Saturday nights with dance party lights and music. There’s no need to eat on the way to Pinz, you can enjoy an exciting new menu of appetizers, entrees and desserts served right at your lane. The exclusive Z Lounge features eight private lanes in a sophisticated yet fun atmosphere that’s perfect for corporate events or any special occasion.
Z Lounge is open to the public for a bowling and billiards experience beyond your best expectations. Let the good times roll at your child’s next birthday with a party at Pinz. Your own birthday host will get the party started with pizza, presents and cake, and then accompany your party guests to the lanes for some friendly competition, with a little bowling instruction thrown in. After all, what kid doesn’t like to wear shoes that make their feet look like they just joined the circus? Pinz features money-saving daily specials Sunday-Thursday of each week. Visit www.pinzbowlingidaho.com for details.
