Bowlero and Booth’s Corner tops this week’s list of fun things to do in Aston.
Bowlero
Originating in 1997 in Manhattan, New York, Bowlero is a bowling alley for all ages and skill levels. Bowlero boasts dozens of locations across the country, ranging from Massachusetts to Washington, with vibrant lanes, exquisite food choices and an overall pleasurable experience for everyone!
Through their website, quests can reserve a lane, host a party, or even sign up for a league! Starting Sunday, March 3rd, there is a 15-week league for bowlers at all skill levels. Participants receive a Bowlero bowling ball, a single tote bowling bag and a pair of bowling shoes. Some of Bowlero’s other events and amenities include lounge seating, blacklight bowling and exclusive food and drink options.
The closest Bowlero to Neumann is in Boothwyn, PA, about 15 minutes from campus.

On Sundays at this location, visitors can participate in unlimited bowling for the low price of $18.99. This deal includes shoe rental and a $5 Arcade card. This is just one of the many specials featured at the Boothwyn location; on Wednesdays, the bowling alley boasts half-price arcade games!
Booth’s Corner Farmer’s Market
Booth’s Corner Farmer’s Market is a family business that opened in the 1950s in Garnet Valley, PA. Featuring 90+ merchants selling items ranging from candy to toys to candles, Booth’s Corner has anything and everything you need, all under one roof!
Booth’s Corner describes itself as “a melting pot of cultures from our local area,” which cannot be truer. Open only two days a week: Fridays and Saturdays, from 9am-8pm, this farmer’s market is a Delco hotspot! Neumann students love Booth’s Market for their low prices and wide range of vendors.
“My favorite thing about going to Booth’s Corner is the memories I have there. When we were younger, my dad took my sister and I to Booth’s Corner every weekend. I feel like I grew up there!” says Liv Bowers, a freshman at Neumann, lifelong resident of Delaware County, and now, an employee at Booth’s Corner!
On their website, Booth’s Corner highlights the importance of family, which is the central goal of the business. On its website, the market highlights this value that “allows you, the customer, to feel like part of the family as you walk through the market.”
