Bowling alley

The bowling alley is a sporting area located next to a book store near the center of Gravity Falls.

History
While investigating the lefty robot in "Lefty," Dipper and Mabel decide to confront the robot at the bowling alley where he works. When Dipper discovers the robot's secret in the lobby of the bowling alley, it self-destructs. The smoke created then sets off the fire sprinkler system.

In "Little Gift Shop of Horrors," the Pines family visits the ally where Stan attempts to use his "newly-fashioned hands" to bowl, creating a destructive scene.

Appearance
The exterior and interior of the bowling alley are a bit run-down. The bowling alley is a relatively large lobby with a wall of windows, racks of bowling balls on opposite the windows, and a counter at the back. Bowling ball bags and shoes are available for sale at the counter as well as rental shoes. A bowling pin and a trophy are on the rack of shoes. One fluorescent light is missing its cover and the pennant strings on the wall are ragged.

Trivia

 * In the original pilot, Mabel and Norman attend a dance class at the bowling alley, while on a date.
