You don't have to bowl the best game to win big at the Reindeer Games Bowling Tournament. Prizes are awarded to the teams with the best holiday-centric costumes and the most energizing team spirit too. Of course winning doesn't hurt—those teams that snag first, second, and third place will also go home with prizes.

So round up a few friends to join your team for the Reindeer Games Bowling Tournament, or sign up as a solo bowler to get assigned to a team when you get there. You can also come as a "cheerleader" for $10 and still enjoy the holiday cheer. Bowlers' admission fees include two drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and some complimentary holiday treats, and non-bowlers get one drink with the treats. You can bring cash along if you want to indulge in beer and wine beyond your allotted drink tickets.
