Open Play Bowling at Colonial What to Expect
Colonial Bowling was built on a simple idea: everyone deserves a place to unwind, connect, and have pure, uncomplicated fun. While we host elaborate birthday parties, corporate events, and private VIP experiences, our heart has always remained with the casual bowler — the family enjoying a Sunday afternoon, friends catching up after work, the couple on a date night, the regulars who've been coming for years.
Our 24 bowling lanes run under full cosmic blacklight all day, every day. No leagues clogging up lanes or disrupting the experience. The lights are on, the music is playing, and the party atmosphere runs from open to close seven days a week. Walk in or book ahead — either way, we're ready for you.
Colonial is located on Route 1 in Lawrenceville, NJ, between Princeton and Trenton in Mercer County. We're easily accessible from Princeton, Hamilton, Ewing, Trenton, and all of Central NJ, as well as Morrisville, Langhorne, and Yardley across the river in Lower Bucks County, PA. Free on-site parking with no time limits.

Had a small birthday party here it was perfect! Very clean & staff was great! Everyone absolutely loved the laser tag and my son enjoyed all the arcade games. My husband and his friends were impressed by the bar selection. The private room is very very big & can hold a good amount of people. It was nice for our small party how spacious it was as well. You can also add on goodie bags to your party which saves you the hassle and stress of having to make them yourself.

That was awesome experience, kids had great fun. JD was our host, he helped kids organize the games so they can enjoy more. He made the party so comfortable that we were just sitting and watching kids playing and have fun. Pizza and colds drinks were served on time, kids liked the return gifts. Had great fun on gaming machines. Overall it was great experience.
