Bowling, Laser Tag & Arcade Games

Every time a Hightstown group walks through our doors, they find more to do than they planned for. Here is the full lineup at Colonial Bowling & Entertainment.

Cosmic Blacklight Bowling

Our 24 USBC-certified bowling lanes operate under full cosmic blacklight at every hour we are open, seven days a week. No leagues take up lane time, no blocks of the facility are reserved for competitive play, and no part of the day feels like anything other than a genuine night out. Hightstown visitors who arrive on a weeknight get exactly the same experience as a Saturday group booking.

Jurassic Quest Laser Tag

Twenty players per session, all ages welcome, approximately 15 minute experience per game. Our Jurassic Quest laser tag arena is the kind of activity that Hightstown families discover once and then build return visits around. It runs as a standalone walk-in activity or as part of select birthday and group packages, and it has a reliable way of turning a quiet outing into a competitive event that nobody is willing to end.

80+ Arcade & Redemption Games

Over 80 skill-based arcade and redemption games fill approximately 3,500 square feet of dedicated floor space. The variable-ticket model keeps every visit purposeful and rewards returning players who have built their skills over time while allowing players of all skill-levels to still hit Jackpots and big wins. Every Friday we run an arcade happy hour – check the website for current hours – which makes the drive from Hightstown on a Friday afternoon an easy decision.

Doc's Bar & Grill is a full-service restaurant and sports barcade open to everyone, bowling or not. Expect eclectic, shareable platters – Wings, Loaded Waffle Fries, and Sliders alongside Bao Buns, Tacos, and Empanadas – plus something sweet like Marshmallow Nutella Pizza or Funnel Fries.
The bar pours from 12 rotating beer taps and 120+ spirits, with handcrafted cocktails, Ritual Zero Proof mocktails, wine, and bottled beers. Scan the QR code at your lane and everything comes straight to you.

Why Hightstown, NJ Chooses Colonial Bowling & Entertainment

Why Hightstown, NJ Chooses Colonial Bowling & Entertainment

Hightstown residents are selective about how they spend their evenings and their event budgets. Here is what makes Colonial the consistent choice.

Full Facility, Full Hours, No Restrictions

Every one of our 24 cosmic blacklight lanes is available to the public and for reserved bookings from open to close. We run no leagues and hold no lane time back for any purpose. Hightstown visitors never arrive to discover that the experience they came for is unavailable because of a league schedule they had no way of knowing about.

Shoe Rental Is Simply Part of the Price

We include shoe rental in every session and most packages we offer. No Hightstown group has to factor it in separately, add it at the counter, or explain to their group why the price changed between the website and the front desk.

Lane-Side Dining from Doc's Bar & Grill

Our QR code lane-side ordering system puts the entire Doc's menu at the fingertips of every bowler at every lane during every operating hour. The food comes to you, the drinks come to you, and the game keeps going. For Hightstown groups who want a full evening rather than a bowling stop with dinner somewhere else, Colonial is the complete solution.

A Bar That Goes Beyond the Expected

Twelve rotating taps serving ice-cold draft beer available in pints or pitchers, 40+ whiskeys and bourbons, 40+ vodkas and gins, 30+ rums and tequilas, 30+ flavored liqueurs, and a house cocktail menu built with genuine care. Our Ritual Zero Proof spirit alternatives at Doc’s give non-drinkers a full and considered experience rather than a glass of water and a polite apology.

A Private VIP Suite That Changes the Standard

Four private lanes, a 250 square foot LED wall, and a fully private bar with a dedicated bartender for up to 130 guests. Hightstown residents planning a serious private event have found that our Private VIP Suite sets a standard that no comparable venue in the area approaches.

Reserve Fast, Park Free

Our FastLane reservation system is a two-minute task from any device, bookable as little as 1 hour before arrival. Free on-site parking handles every group size without fees, time limits, or parking structure navigation.

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

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