How about a nice game of bowling? Lazy? Aw heck, then let's just drive-through
and bowl.
66 Bowl
Oklahoma City, OK Photo courtesy Mark Hackett
Featuring a marquee that's still in great shape, the 66 Bowl is
the place to be if you're in Oklahoma City. Plus, it's right off Route
66. This throwback of a ten pin alley features 24 lanes. For more, see Roadside Peek'sLost Treasures feature on the 66 Bowl.
Rose Bowl

When you think of the Rose Bowl, do you think of College football and
New Years Day? If you don't, then you must have seen the Rose Bowl in Tulsa and its fantastic arching sign that somewhat
resembles the famed Arch and Arch Motel in St. Louis. Best of all, it's
located off of the old Route 66.

The Rose Bowl has been transformed from a bowling alley to an events center. The Rose Bowl Event Center has now hosted many local events. For more on the Rose Bowl, see Roadside Peek'sLost Treasures feature on the Rose Bowl. 10-10

a bee? A bowling bee?
