Jupiter Bowl
Jupiter Bowl in Park City has a reputation for delivering good times to be had by all. Rent lanes by the hour ($30–$65) or the game ($3–$7pp) and enjoy the sport/nightclub/sports bar ambiance. The menu is Ameri- can bistro style, a long way from the greasy fare of Dad’s bowling alley. It’s the bowling alley the Jetsons wish they had.
