Fun things to do during Thanksgiving week at Lucky Strike


Thanksgiving week brings a long school break, visitors arriving from out of town, and families trying to figure out how to fill all the extra hours. Lucky Strike makes it easy by offering bowling, arcade play, great food, and plenty of space to unwind together; all without cooking, hosting, or cleaning.


Families searching for things to do on Thanksgiving that work for all ages can rely on Lucky Strike for a high-energy break from the holiday routine. 


A go-to activity for Thanksgiving week break


When the Thanksgiving week break arrives, kids have more free time than usual — and parents often need an activity that keeps everyone moving. Bowling fits perfectly: simple to learn, fun for all ages, and ideal for big family groups or visiting relatives.


Add arcade play into the mix, and you’ve got a full outing that keeps kids entertained while adults enjoy a relaxed, no-pressure environment. It’s one of the easiest answers to how to keep kids entertained during Thanksgiving without relying on screens or another movie marathon.


A comfortable space for visiting family and friends


Thanksgiving often brings extended family and houseguests — and finding activities that work for everyone can be challenging. Lucky Strike gives groups a lively alternative to staying home or navigating crowded malls.


Here’s why so many families choose bowling on Thanksgiving weekend:

  • Indoor fun that’s weather-proof

  • No cooking or cleanup required

  • Easy for groups with mixed ages

  • Food, drinks, and entertainment in one place

  • A break from holiday traffic and shopping crowds


If you’re unsure where to go for Thanksgiving activities that feel effortless, Lucky Strike is designed to take the planning off your plate.

It’s active without being exhausting, social without being stressful, and fun enough to bring everyone back together once the meal is over.


Weekend visitors? Out-of-town grandparents? College students home for the holiday? Bowling and arcade play offer something for everyone.
