Does anyone know of a good bowling place in Seoul, preferably Gangnam area? Also, how much does it cost to play?

Thanks

Hi there,

It's been a while since I was there but there seems to be no shortage of bowling alleys in Korea. I can't recall the price but it wasn't expensive.

Some warnings: bowling in Korea is a little different than it is in the west.

1 No alcohol
2 Koreans take it REALLY seriously. They like to impose some "interesting" rules

You'll see many Koreans sporting their professional bowling gloves and then playing like dog poo!!

Can be great fun, though.

I know there used to be a bowling alley over by the Kyobo building, but now it's a Burger King. Anyone know of any other bowling allies in the Kangnam or Jamsil area?

Jamsil : Inside Lotte world
Kangnam : Dont know, but in Yangjaie, there is one. Walk straight from Yangjaie Parking, till you reach the McDonald's. It is in the basement, same level as the McDonald's.

Thanks. Are bowling alleys generally open on Sundays in Korea? I am not talking about the special ones like in Lotte World, just the every day normal alleys.
