Fun Things to Do Near Ewing Township, NJ

Bowling, Laser Tag & Arcade Games

Our facility is built for groups of every size, every age, and occasion. Here is what Ewing Township residents find waiting for them at Colonial.

Cosmic Blacklight Bowling

Our 24 USBC-certified bowling lanes stay lit under full cosmic blacklight throughout every operating hour. There are no leagues blocking lane access, no scheduled competitive sessions, and no point in the day when the energy drops. Ewing residents can walk in on a weeknight or book ahead for a weekend group and get the same experience either way.

Jurassic Quest Laser Tag

Our laser tag arena runs sessions for up to 20 players at a time, lasts approximately 15 minutes per game, and is open to all ages. It slots naturally into a birthday package or group outing, but it works just as well as a standalone walk-in activity for Ewing families who want something more physical than arcade play alone.

80+ Arcade & Redemption Games

We have dedicated approximately 3,500 square feet to more than 80 skill-based arcade and redemption games. The variable-ticket structure means skill drives the reward, not just volume of play. Every Friday we run an arcade happy hour — check this page for current hours — which makes for an excellent after-school or after-work stop for Ewing residents heading our way on Route 1.

Doc's Bar & Grill

Doc's is our full-service restaurant and sports barcade, welcoming bowlers and non-bowlers alike. The kitchen leans into shareable platters — classics like Wings, Tenders, and Pizza next to global favorites like Samosas, Tacos, and Bao Buns — with something sweet like Marshmallow Nutella Pizza or Funnel Fries to close it out. Twelve rotating beer taps and 120+ spirits anchor the bar, alongside handcrafted cocktails, Ritual Zero Proof mocktails, wine, and bottled beers. Order by QR code and it all arrives straight at your lane.

Why Ewing Township, NJ Chooses Colonial Bowling & Entertainment

Close to home and nothing like anything else nearby. Here is what sets us apart for Ewing Township residents.

Cosmic Blacklight, Open to All, Every Hour

No leagues, no reserved competitive time, no atmosphere shifts during the day. Our 24 lanes are fully available for public use from open to close, and the party atmosphere - blacklights, big screens, and upbeat music - stays on throughout. That consistency matters when you are planning a group night and need the experience to deliver.

Shoe Rental Built Into Every Price

Every session we offer and most packages we sell includes shoe rental. It is one less thing to think about and one less fee that surprises a group when the bill arrives.

Lane-Side Dining from Doc's Bar & Grill

Our QR code lane-side ordering puts the full Doc's menu at your fingertips from your bowling lane. Pizzas, wings, cocktails, mocktails, and desserts all come to you without anyone leaving the game. For Ewing groups who want a complete evening without the interruption of a separate dinner reservation, this is the setup.

The Depth of Our Bar

Twelve rotating beers on tap, all available in pints or pitchers, sit alongside 40+ whiskeys and bourbons, 40+ vodkas and gins, 30+ Rums & Tequilas, 30+ flavored liqueurs, and a thoughtfully built cocktail menu. Our Ritual Zero Proof spirit alternatives give non-drinkers a full mocktail experience rather than a juice glass and an apology.

Our Private VIP Suite Stands Alone

Four private lanes, a 250 square foot LED wall, and room for 130 guests in a single fully private space. Nothing else within easy reach of Ewing Township comes close to what our VIP Suite offers for private events and milestone celebrations.

FastLane Reservations and Free Parking

Book your lane from your phone in under two minutes, as little as 1 hour before you arrive. Our free on-site parking lot is large enough for full group buses with no time limits and no parking fees of any kind.

Don't wait for the weekend to get the party started!

Gather your friends, family, or coworkers and head over to Colonial Bowling & Entertainment.
