Located just before the Corey Avenue Bridge on Pasadena Avenue, Ten Pin Lanes is a cool little bowling alley that makes for a great family outing. It’s small enough that keeping track of the kids isn’t a hassle; when they feel the need to stray, two pool tables, air hockey and a handful of video games will keep the little ones entertained. Friday nights feature Glow Bowling, where you can roll gutterballs under the hypnotic trance of blacklights, while Saturday nights showcase Strike it Rich (which won’t really make you rich, but might boost your ego). Plus, they have Golden Tee! Do you need another reason? Didn’t think so. Heck, try it out even if you don’t have kids. 1453 Pasadena Ave. S., St. Petersburg, 727-381-1010, www.littlecenters.com.
