International Bowling Museum


It's not just the strikes at Rangers Ballpark that are celebrated in Arlington, the strikes of bowling get their dues as well at the International Bowling Museum. All facets of the game of big balls, garish shoes and pitchers of beer are celebrated. You might just want to spare a moment for a visit.
