Our story began in 1952, when DiDonato’s first opened its doors as a 4-lane bowling alley. What started as a neighborhood gathering place has grown into one of South Jersey’s favorite destinations for families, friends, and fun seekers of all ages. Just like the town of Hammonton we call home, our family business is rooted in tradition while always moving forward.
In 2012, we saw the chance to reinvent what family fun could look like. We broke ground with a vision to bring something new and exciting not just to Hammonton, but to the entire South Jersey region. Ever since, we’ve been growing, adding, and creating unique experiences year after year.
Today, DiDonato’s is truly a one-stop family fun center. Our 26-lane modern bowling alley is at the heart of it all, surrounded by unforgettable seasonal events aboard our Rolling Railway — including our signature Magical Holiday Express, a must-do South Jersey holiday tradition. Guests can also enjoy sweet indulgences at the Pin Deck with homemade ice cream and quick bites, win prizes and play their favorites at Spare Change Arcade, and relax at the Alley Bar & Grille, featuring frozen beer taps, signature cocktails, and a menu full of favorites. For private celebrations, the beautifully designed 1952 Room offers an upscale space with its own private bar.
From ages 2 to 102, there’s something here for everyone. We’re proud to have been family-owned and operated for more than 70 years, and we can’t wait to welcome you into the DiDonato family.
