Candlepin Bowling
Candlepin bowling, commonly referred by many as 'small ball bowling', is a New England staple of entertainment as unique as the area itself. Although there are similarities to ten pin bowling, candlepin bowling is a game of accuracy and power. Candlepin balls range between 2 lbs 4 oz and 2 lbs 7 oz and can be easily rolled by people of all ages.

A wide variety of weighted balls (6 lbs - 16 lbs) allows practically everyone the opportunity, and ability to play.
