Quilles Mont-Joli

Ten-pin lanes on Avenue Ross

Grosses quilles, the ten-pin game, is what Avenue Ross offers in Mont-Joli: the centre runs 12 lanes and also gives bowling lessons. Leagues are the backbone of the week. The centre's news page names standout adults and juniors week after week, comparing each player's best game with their average, and league members can check their weekly statistics online.

During the regular season, play is split into afternoon and evening sessions, with Friday and Saturday evenings running to midnight and closing times that can shift with the crowd. The posted rate card, taxes included, lists $6 for a game, $35 for an hour on a lane, reduced rates for players 55 and over and children 11 and under, and moonlight bowling (clair de lune) at $7.50 a game. Shoe rental is $2.50.
