Bowling in Paradise

You won’t find Bolerama Vallarta in any tour books because the normal tourist would have to be crazy to come all the way to Puerto Vallarta from Kansas and want to go bowling.

But locals love this 16 lane bowling alley in the same building as, but behind Collage, one of the most popular discos in town. It is a ridiculously cheap and fun date or pastime. The food is old-fashioned bowling alley “quality” and price. A hot dog and fries is 20 pesos….

Collage is on Francisco Medina (the airport road), just south of the Main Marina entrance road. The bowling alley is open from 11 am to 2 am everyday. The lanes are rough, the place smells like a real bowling alley and, as I have already said, it’s cheap.

You can walk there from Marina Hotels or any cabbie or bus driver in town knows where Collage is.
