Bowling is still one of the most predominant participant sports and or games in America. The Europeans introduced bowling to America in the mid 1800’s, with the sport peaking during the 1950’s. Fun and affordable bowling is a game that can be enjoyed by all ages, and can be played well in to your twi-light years.

While many low country bowling alleys have closed over the past decade, including Dorchester Lanes, Triangle in West Ashley, and Sparian’s Mount Pleasant, one bowling center Royal Lanes Family Entertainment Center has stood the test of time, serving the greater Charleston community, Goose Creek, and Berkeley County going on 34 years.

Royal Lanes (formerly Royal Z) has been an affordable family friendly bowling center since opening their doors on Central Avenue in Goose Creek back in 1986. Open seven days a week from 9am sometimes until 2am, Royal Lanes has 36 synthetic lanes, offering a different special each and every day of the week.
