As a kid (in the 60's & 70's) we would duckpin bowl on our way back from vacation in Va. Now I'm 49 and every year my family gets together around Xmas and travels to Baltimore to bowl. What started as a family of 5 has grown to 12-16 (with kids and grandkids). We see who can bowl the highest series and we keep the score cards knowing that someday it may be gone. I hope not, it is a great game that everyone can play. My 4 year old nephew will be bowling this friday. He has a great chance of beating me.LOL... Get the kids away from the computer and video games and have some fun!!!

We recently moved to Maryland from Ohio and I had never heard of Duckpin bowling. We visited Pinland in Dundalk for the first time tonight thinking that it would be regular 10 pin bowling. what a pleasant surprise! I'm totally hooked! Thanks for the great website! It gave us all the information we were looking for about Duckpin! SAVE THE DUCKS!

What great memories your site brought back to me.I remember my parents taking me to Two-Guys department store in Woodbridge NJ and in the rear of the store they has the small lanes.The small swirl coloerd balls, the little pins,it was great! I would love to do that again.Any lanes near south jersey? What about the equiptment from a closed lane house? What happens to it? Loos like it`s time for a road trip! Mark

I played duckpin bowling as a kid when my family lived in Baltimore Maryland. My husband & I took our kids to a duckpin center in Indiana so they could experience what I had as kid but the lanes were in terrible shape. We are traveling to South Carolina this summer so my son can play in the Ripken Experience tournament & are hopeful that we can fit a stop in at a duckpin bowling alley while we are on vacation. I wish our area would offer duckpin bowling. It is a great game!! Kathy

to do it, you can start by finding a person to start rebuilding the Sherman machines, maybe a little better if possible. I found the blueprints for it finally at freepatentsonline.com and I'm going to try and find someone who wants to take a crack at building one. I'm 20 years old, not a lotta cash, but if anyone knows anyone that wants to do it I will send what little cash I have towards the cause. Too many people are just waiting for the sport to die and it's going to if we keep thinking instead of acting.

My family and I will be visiting my hometown of Stratford, CT within the month. I have a 6 year old daughter and I cannot wait to take her to the duckpin lanes on Barnum Ave. I had birthday parties there as a kid and was in a league at one point. It will be a lot of fun.

My husband and I took our niece bowling yesterday. It was probably the first time I bowled in over 30 years. She had never seen ducks. All 3 of us had a great time and she said she liked it better than "regular bowling". To me duckpin is "regular bowling" because that is what I grew up with. We bowled at the Pikesville lanes in Maryland. But growing up, I bowled at Gwynn Oak Junction (Liberty Heights)lanes that were run by Toots Barger. (At least I think Toots ran that house).

My family bowled Duck Pin when I was younger. I only bowled 3 years, then we moved to Florida. They have no Duck Pin Lanes in Florida. My wife and I come up every 2 years and go Duck Pin Bowling. I wish they had a need for Duck Pin Bowling in Florida.

The kids had off from school today, to I took them to the Barnum Duckpin Lanes in Stratford, CT, where I had belonged to a student league some 40 years ago. What a blast we all had! What absolute treasures the house and the game itself are. I'd like to think that my kids will be able to take my grandkids there in 40 more years, but sadly, it looks like the Barnum Duckpin Lanes might not make another year.

I have been bowling for over 30 years. I was in a league with my dad for many years and now I am in a league with my boys. It baffles me why more people do not take time to bowl. It is really affordable fun.

I used to bowl in Arbutus as a teenager. Now, I take my son to the Glen Burnie bowl. Sometimes we take my Mom. It's neat to find a game that 3 generations can enjoy together. We heard the Riviera Beach bowling alley is closing this year.

We're visiting family in Indiana and found that the two sites listed for Indianapolis are actually at the same location now. Both alleys are at Fountain Square Theater on Prospect Street. One is 1930's themed and the other is 1950's themed.

From 1967 to 1979 I bowled every Saturday morning at the Capital Plaza Fair Lanes in Landover Hills, MD. As an adult I bowled at the College Park and Bowie lanes as well as the Queenstown, Prince George's Plaza and Wheaton Plaza houses. Sadly, the last 3 houses are gone. Duckpin is a great sport for kids and families. I hope it doesn't disappear. Thanks for having this great site!

My wife is from New London and had never gone "bowling" until she moved to the midwest. I had never heard of duckpin bowling before (being from the midwest). We went on out 2006 trip to CT. My first throw at duckpin bowling was a strike. I thought about opening a house in DeKalb, Illinois. Still thinking about it.

Well, i'll tell ya, i grew up in Woburn Mass, which is about 20 miles north of Boston and bowled candlepin for 20 years because that is ALL THERE IS. I had to move to the south shore of Mass (due to my job) and wanted to join a league... Well, candlepin does not exist in R.I and South mass!!!! I found an alley in Warren R.I. called Dudex whom had "Duckpin". MAN I GOT HOOKED!!! I am in my 5th year of league playing and my average is now a 128... I REALLY LIKE IT!!!!! although i do miss my candles!!! Feel free to e-mail me if you want to chat or bowl a frame or 2

Never heard of duckpin bowling until last night. My wife, my five year old twins and I all went and had a great time. It's easy to learn, difficult to master and generally speaking the four of us had a great time. The alleys were even really close to where we live. We'll be back!

This is by far the most helpful and informative duck pin bowling site that I've surfed into. My Physical Education class required me to look for this, but Google cut out all the work for me. I'm taking duck pin bowling this semester, and this site weaved through the ins and out of it. (And I was able to cope!) Thank you, and more power to your site.

Great site! I bowled duckpins in Baltimore in the late 70's... does anyone remember a basement center on York Road that burned down around 1979 or 1980? I think it was a duckpin alley, not sure anymore. There is no place in Florida to go, but I saw an earlier post about this and I'm trying to contact the guy who wrote it. Maybe we can put something together for all these tourists in Orlando! Keep up the good work.

Hey, this is a great duckpin site. I've played duckpin a few times in Quebec. I've played 5-pin for the past 21 years. I wish 5-pin would someday get exported to the United States. 5-pin is even harder to play than duck. Someday I hope to try the hardest game of them all, candlestick.

Your site brings back memories of bowling in Baltimore where I grew up. I bowled in a Youth traveling league in 1972-1973. My home alley was in Arbutus. I am planning to visit the duckpin alleys in Indianapolis. Thanks for the memories. John Lawson

What a great site! My husband and I were reminiscing about Duckpin Bowling as kids (we grew up in Baltimore)and we were interestd in the game's origins. Thanks to Google, up popped your website. Very informative!! As a teen, my friends and I bowled at an Alley that used to be across from a Bata Shoe warehouse 3 blocks from Rt 40 near the entrance to 895 in Baltimore. Can't remember the name of the Bowling Alley, but I do remember it was the site of my very first date. What was the name of the Bowling Alley?

Good day,today I watched a bowling tournament on the RDS Quebec sports network in which a ball similar to 5-pin was used but was thrown back handed at 10 pins setup like a 10 pin game .What kind of bowling is this and does one have to throw back handed ?
