111 Stadium Plaza
Saint Louis, MO 63102Hey, I love bowling. Duckpins rule! That's what happens when you are raised in Baltimore. (It's rather interesting that Baltimore and Saint Louis share so many unique qualities: blue laws, Catholic foundation, only cities not part of a county, bowling...) I know bowling gets a bad rap. I once had a girlfriend who told me, 'I'm not good at taking hints so if you ever want to break up with me, tell me you want to go bowling.' Never had to do that since she broke up with me. But I digress...
Opened in 1984, this museum covers the sport of bowling tracing it back to its Egyptian roots. The National Bowling Stadium is also located on Route 40 in Reno, Nevada.
The museum closed in 2008 and relocated to Arlington, Texas. The site is now a multilevel parking garage for the new Busch Stadium. Bummer.
