After a year of absence of a bowling center in the city, a new massive and state-of-the-art bowling center just recently opened up a couple of days ago in Taunton!

After the closing of AMF lanes on Route 44 in Taunton back in 2014, those who live in the city had to travel to Ryan’s Family Amusements in Raynham to bowl. Now, Round 1 Entertainment has opened, and this mega amusement company has taken it to even a bigger and better entertainment level for family and friends inside the Silver City Galleria Mall.

According to the Taunton Daily Gazette, the amusement-chain corporation got its start in Japan in 1980, and has opened nine entertainment venues since 2009 in the United States.

The most recent opening of Round 1 was this past Saturday December, 26, when the complex in the Silver City Galleria Mall off Route 140 in East Taunton opened its doors.

Not only does the complex include 20 lanes of 10-pin bowling, but it also has at least 400 interactive arcade games, eight regulation-size pool tables, ping pong tables, private karaoke rooms with five language choices, and darts.

Round 1 is open every day from 10am to 1am. Also, the complex has a snack bar, which is licensed to sell beer and wine.

Check out Round 1 Entertainment’s website for pricing and party reservation information.
