Strike! Hit the Lanes for Some Duckpin Bowling Fun (Reserve Ahead!)
Beyond the flashing screens and joystick action, Downtown Flavortown offers a unique twist on a classic pastime: duckpin bowling! This fast-paced and slightly smaller scale version of bowling is a blast for all ages and skill levels. The smaller pins and handheld balls add a different kind of challenge and often lead to some surprisingly competitive (and hilarious) moments. Duckpin bowling is $16 per person per hour.
Important Insider Tip: If duckpin bowling is high on your Flavortown agenda, especially during peak hours or weekends, be sure to reserve a lane online ahead of your visit! Lanes can fill up quickly, and booking in advance will ensure you don’t miss out on this fun and unique experience. We learned this the hard way on our visit – eager to try our hand at duckpin, we were disappointed to find all the lanes fully booked, a testament to its popularity!
Level Up Your Day with the Family Fun Pack!
Got a gang of four or more? Gather ‘round—Downtown Flavortown has a deal that’s hard to beat. For $50 a person, you’ll score a $50 arcade card to dive into games galore and your pick of a crave-worthy entrée. That’s right—playtime and mealtime all wrapped into one awesome package. It’s perfect for families or groups looking to turn up the fun without blowing the budget. Just ask about the Family Fun Pack when you’re planning your visit—it’s your all-access pass to good times and great bites. We took advantage of this deal during our visit and our kids enjoyed ordering whatever they wanted because the entree price didn’t matter because all entrees are included.
Fueling the Fun: A Flavor Expedition!
After working up an appetite in the arcade (or, hopefully, on the bowling lanes!), it’s time to dive into the heart of Flavortown: the food! Guy Fieri’s menu is exactly what you’d expect – big, bold, and unapologetically flavorful. There’s something for everyone, from towering burgers dripping with signature sauces to crispy chicken tenders and loaded fries that could easily feed a small army.
If purchasing a deal isn’t an option for you or your family you can opt for a mix-and-match approach, sampling the legendary “Trash Can Nachos” (served, yes, in a mini trash can!), juicy “Bacon Mac N Cheese Burger”, and a platter of crispy “Chicken Guy!” tenders with a variety of Guy’s signature sauces. The portions are generous, perfect for sharing (or for satisfying seriously hungry explorers!). You’ll be thrilled with the fun names and the explosion of flavors, while appreciating the quality ingredients and the creative twists on classic comfort food.
A Birthday to Remember
During our trip, one of our daughters chose Downtown Flavortown as the spot for her birthday celebration—and it couldn’t have been a better pick. From the moment we walked in, the energy was high and the atmosphere was perfect for a fun-filled day. She had a blast exploring the arcade, posing at the quirky photo ops scattered throughout the space, and soaking in all the vibrant sights and sounds. To top it all off, our wonderful waitress surprised her with a special birthday dessert, making the whole experience even more memorable. It was the kind of birthday she’ll be talking about for years.
A Sweet Treat with Flair!
No visit to Flavortown is complete without indulging in a special treat! They don’t disappoint. Be sure to check out their massive, over-the-top ice cream concoctions complete with sparklers, whipped cream mountains, chocolate sauce rivers, and enough sprinkles to make a unicorn jealous. It’s a truly memorable moment, and the sheer spectacle of the dessert is a perfect reflection of the Flavortown energy.
