Step into a part of Canadian history at Steelheads & Strikes, Canada's oldest bowling centre, proudly operating since 1930.

Located in the heart of historic downtown Arnprior, this beautifully revitalized four-lane bowling alley delivers something you can't find anywhere else: authentic 5-pin bowling, vintage charm, personalized service, and unforgettable fun.

Whether you're planning a family outing, catching up with friends, a birthday party, date night, team event, or just looking for something different, Steelheads & Strikes offers laughter, friendly competition, custom music requests, and unique game formats that keep guests coming back.

More than a bowling alley, it's a community gathering hub where memories are made, traditions are shared, and every visit feels special. Recently featured on HGTV's Bryan's All In (2024), as well as CBC's Still Standing (2025), this stunning centre stands out for how well it's holding up.

Steelheads & Strikes is open year round and pre-booking is strongly encouraged. With just 4 lanes, they can fill up quickly. Book ahead and experience one of Arnprior's most unique attractions.
