Welcome Back To Bowling At Sea Bowl
We are incredibly excited about reopening and getting back to bowling!
Of course, our priority has to be keeping our employees and guests as safe as possible. With your help we think we can bring back the fun without sacrificing your safety.
For more information, see our other Reopening pages:
Basic Operational Policies
Until further notice the following policies are in place:
- Sea Bowl is adhering to all local and statewide health standards.
- All patrons will be required to "check in" before entering the building. Check In includes checking your temperature and verifying that you have a mask.
- We are open for Bowling, Billiards and Gaming (Arcade) with limitations.
- We are currently limited to 50 persons in the building at any given time.
- For safety, every other bowling lane is closed.
- Maximum group size is limited to five persons.
- Reservations are not required, but are highly recommended (call 650•738•1169 to make a reservation).
We can NOT provide waiting space inside the building. If you arrive without a reservation and no lanes are available, you will have to wait outside.
- Social distancing requirements will be enforced between, but not within, groups.
- Masks are mandatory! You must wear a mask at all times while inside the facility, except when eating, of course.
- We are posting our commitment to your safety at our entrances and throughout the center so that everyone understands the steps we must all take to keep each other safe.
Staff Requirements - What Our Staff Is Doing.
Since the closures began we have been making BIG changes - some of these are policies, some are physical changes.
- Safety Training:
All staff and employees (Germ Buster Safety Team) have received specialized COVID-19 safety and sanitation training.
- Health Checks:
All employees and staff are required to pass a health check prior to their shift.
Anyone showing signs of illness (temperature or typical symptoms) will be sent home.
- Masks:
All employees are required to wear masks. Gloves are required for team members handling sanitation, any "high-touch surfaces", or food-related activities.
- Hygiene:
Additional sanitation and hygiene practices include hand washing and sanitizing every hour or following any guest contact.
- Bathrooms:
Bathrooms are being cleaned multiple times a day.
- Additional Cleaning:
Along with sanitizing bowling balls, rental shoes, lane areas and tables. Food-related areas and "touch" surfaces are being cleaned after each use by our Germ Buster Safety Team.
- Easy Clean Up:
Hand sanitizer stations have been added throughout our building to make it easy for everyone to clean their hands.
Physical Changes
While Sea Bowl Entertainment has been closed to the public, we have focused on developing methods of sterilization and deep cleaning of our entire facility.
- Bowling Balls:
Sanitized bowling balls are provided in our new Ballroom, where you get to select your own "house" ball.
If you need help choosing, one of our team members will identify a sanitized ball that fits your needs.
Please, DO NOT cross into other lanes looking for another ball. House balls should be returned to the Ballroom on your way out.
- Shoes:
Rental shoes are sanitized before and after each use.
- Trash:
Where possible, single-use items like food menus are discarded after each use. Individually packaged utensils are provided. No glass will be used in the bar, disposable cups only.
- Billiards:
In order to better control the social distancing we are limiting the billiards room to one table and one group at a time.
- Game Room/Arcade:
The arcade is open. We have altered the layout to make it easier to socially distance when playing.
Customer Requirements - We Need Your Help
If we are going to make this work for everyone and continue operation we need your assistance with the following.
- This may go without saying, but if you have been exposed to COVID-19 recently or have symptoms of COVID-19 (including fever, cough, or shortness of breath), please help keep everyone safe by staying home.
- Reservations/Lane Availability:
Reservations are highly recommended, but not required. You can call 650•738•1169 for a reservation or just to check lane availability.
- When You Arrive:
When you arrive a Sea Bowl you will visit our "Check In" area. Here we will confirm your reservation or put you on our "walk-in" wait list if no lanes are available.
Before entering your temperature will be scanned and you will be asked if you are currently experiencing any typical Covid-related symptoms or have recently come in contact with anyone who has the virus.
If your temperature is over 100.4 degress you will not be allowed to enter the building.
- For Your Safety:
If you have underlying health conditions or are otherwise concerned about contracting COVID-19, please feel free to contact us for further guidance
- Social Distancing:
Guests, as well as staff must practice proper social distancing. Stay at least 6 feet away from other groups and staff. Distancing reminders have been added across the facility to help maintain adequate distancing at all times.
- Bowling Balls:
Yes! You can still bring your own bowling ball to the alley, but if you do not have your own, "House" bowling balls are available in the Ballroom upon entry. If you cannot find a ball that fits you ask one of our staff and they will assist you. DO NOT cross lanes looking for a ball.
- When you are done:
Return your bowling balls to the Ballroom and your shoes to the Control Desk.
Discard any disposable items (scorecards, menus, paper cups and plates) in the provided receptacles.
- If you have any questions about our promise to you, please let us know and we will be happy to assist you.
The Obligatory Legal Stuff
- We are taking every precaution to provide you a safe environment, but we are not liable for the health of team members or guests.
Play SAFE!
