Original 2016 Post:
UPDATE! Sadly I've been told the other Duckpin Lane in PA at the Pittsburgh Athletic Association are closed.
Good news is that I now know about "Rubber Band" duckpins and there are a few of those I can't wait to check out! So this is techincally the ONLY regular Duckpin Lane in PA!
Gilly's bowling lanes / bowling alley in Gettysburg PA has Duckpins! Real honest to goodness, small ball, score by hand on paper duckpin bowling, with those great vintage bowling lanes right inside next to their typical bowling alley.
Little kids and big kids dig the duckpins, since the balls are so much easier to manage in their mitts.
And your brain gets a workout as well, since you have to score by hand, on paper. That's usin' the ol noggin :-)
Gilly's is a family owned small town operation that hasn't bowed to the pressure of Big Bowl, so when you're in the Gettysburg area give the duckpins a try.
There aren't many places left to do so, so do your part to help keep this lil sport alive!
