Today, let’s take a brief look at the famous Merrimack Valley entertainment center and the many activities that you can take part in.
The Story Behind Wamesit Lanes
In 2014, lifelong bowling Donald MacLaren Sr. had an idea to bring a bowling and entertainment center to his hometown. In 2015, the Wamesit Lanes Family Entertainment opened its doors in Tewksbury for the first time. By creating a positive, family-friendly play environment for children and adults alike, Wamesit Lanes has become a must-stop in the Merrimack Valley area.
