If you plan to visit family members or live in The Villages, a great way to stay physically fit is a game of bowling. "Florida's Friendliest Hometown" is an active retirement destination in Florida. The community offers family-friendly and adult-activities throughout. It is a place where you can try new things such as bowling with friend or a bowling league.

The Villages Bowling operates Fiesta Bowl on Avenida Central and Spanish Springs Lane on Alverez Avenue. Both locations have 32 lanes with automatic bumpers, 40 feet monitors and automatic scoring. Children can bowl free at both locations.

Whether you prefer bowling at Fiesta Bowl or Spanish Springs, you have access to on-site restaurants. McCall's Tavern is located at the Spanish Springs Lane. You can sit back and watch your favorite sports game on one of the eight 40 feet televisions or the 10-foot big screen. Many people sit on the patio to listen to the music and Happy Hour is 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. during the week. Tony Pack's restaurant sits in the Fiesta Bowl, where you can order plenty of friend foods, hot dogs nachos or plate specials, such as a sausage platter or chili mac.
