The large bowling pins are awesome. A fun photo op! Pay a visit and you'll also be treated to a cool vintage bowling pin shaped sign for the bowling alley itself.

There are two large bowling pins near the building. One is straight and the other tilted. The tilted one is larger.

A large bowling pin is outside the Royal Pin Expo Bowl. It is on the south side of the building, facing I-465. It has been positioned to look as if it has just been nicked by a ball and is ready to topple over.
