If you thought that bowling, bars, and kids did not mix, you may want to reconsider. While Kings Dedham’s primary target audience is the 21+ crowd, before 6:00 PM kids are welcome and on a recent weekend visit, we saw lots of families having a blast. Kings features 20 lanes of ten-pin bowling, skee bowling lanes, shuffleboard tables, and a small arcade. With a full lunch and dinner menu, Kings is a good spot for eating out, bowling, or hosting a birthday party.

Kings opened in 2009 and boasts 26,000 square feet of restaurants, bars, and game play. It is a huge facility. There are several different dining areas ranging from high-top tables in the bar area to booth-style dining in a quieter area. The menu offers moderately priced, traditional American fare, so no one should have an issue finding something to eat.

20 lanes of bowling are split between two main bowling areas with a private room with Skee bowling towards the back. Bowling is fully automated at Kings so you don’t have to worry about keeping score, and the animations between players and strings helps to keep the kids entertained. Skee bowling is a combination of Skee ball and bowling; the lane is half the size and Skee balls replace bowling balls. With a set of arcade games, this room is a good place to visit with the kids.

Overall, Kings is worth checking out, but remember that it is not Chuck-e-Cheese, so you’ll have to keep an eye on the little ones here.

Happy Bowling!
