Bird Bowl's Glow-Up: Laser Tag, Neon Mini Golf, and 60 Lanes on Bird Road

If you grew up in Miami, you have a Bird Bowl memory. The Bird Road bowling landmark has been rolling for about 70 years, and after its big renovation it is no longer just bowling: it is a full-blown indoor entertainment center, which matters a lot when it is 95 degrees outside.

The quick take: 60 bowling lanes plus the new Game Zone: a laser tag arena, 9-hole neon mini golf, a redemption arcade with the latest games, karaoke, billiards, and food while you play. Hours of air conditioned fun in one building.
