RCI Adventure Products has worked with bowling centers across the country as they add attractions, such as a ropes course, to increase their appeal and broaden the target audience.

Indoor & Outdoor Ropes Courses for Bowling Centers

Modern bowling centers are evolving beyond lanes to attract a wider audience. While bowling remains the core attraction, additions like arcades, laser tag, and adventure experiences help increase guest engagement and revenue.

Maximize Your Space

RCI Adventure Products designs custom indoor and outdoor ropes courses tailored to your facility. Even with limited ceiling height, one-level courses can be installed with as little as 9 feet of floor clearance, making it possible to build above existing areas like arcades or dining spaces.

Most one-level courses require around 20 feet of ceiling height, and each design is customized to fit your layout.

Add More Adventure

Bowling centers can also incorporate:

Clip ‘n Climb walls are space-efficient and visually striking, creating an immediate focal point while offering fun, accessible climbing experiences for a wide range of guests.

A Smart Upgrade

Adding ropes courses and climbing attractions helps bowling centers:

  • Attract new customer segments
  • Increase time spent on-site
  • Maximize square footage
  • Create additional revenue streams
