The White House has 132 rooms, including 35 bedrooms and 34 bathrooms, a swimming pool, a basketball court, a movie theater and its own bowling alley. The latter is located in the West Wing (it is on the left side in classic photographs of the White House). American video blogger and filmmaker Casey Neistat had the opportunity to visit the place where presidents and first ladies from Harry and Bess Truman onward spent their free hours. If you were expecting a luxury hall, we have to disappoint you, because bowling in the White House looks more like a converted home basement, but that's exactly what gives it its own charm.
Bowling alley in the White House has only two tracks. Years 1947 it was opened by the US president Harry S. Truman. He knocked down 7 out of 10 pins with his first throw. In addition to presidents and first ladies, the space is primarily used by White House employees.

In 1955 he gave Dwight D. Eisenhower the room was remodeled and a mimeograph was placed in it, and later a new bowling alley was opened next to this room, which is still in use today. Barack Obama also knocked down pins in it, and Donald Trump will certainly do as well. Skittles. His son has already visited the place (see below).
If you were expecting a bunch of lanes and a luxuriously furnished space, you will be disappointed, because the bowling center in the basement of the White House is nothing like the rest of the rooms of the presidential residence, but rather our basement. And that's what gives it its charm. But it is probably mainly because expensive equipment would be spending taxpayers' money unnecessarily and, as we know, this is not the best currency for a politician.
