WE OPEN FOR BOWLING RESERVATIONS OR SPECIAL PARTIES THAT ARE BOOKED 7 DAYS IN ADVANCE THROUGH THE MARVIN CENTER & UNIVERSITY CONFERENCES OFFICE. PLEASE CALL (202) 994-7471 FOR MORE DETAILS.



A WOW Space request form is required for groups who wish to schedule an event in the restaurant areas: WOW!, Cyber Lounge, and Dance floor. The Hippodrome is a community space and as such, all programs -with few exceptions- must be open to all members of the community with no charges associated with admission to programs. Groups may not move the Hippodrome furniture to facilitate a closed meeting. If a group wishes to have a meeting for their organization they may check with Marvin Center Scheduling and Events to book a meeting space.

A Hippodrome Bowling and Billiards Reservation form is required to reserve any or all portions of the bowling alley or billiards hall.

These forms may be submitted in person or by fax. Submission of these request forms does not constitute a reservation. All requests are processed in the order they are received.

All requests for bowling reservations must be submitted at least 7 days prior to the event date. You will receive notice of your request status within 48 hours of submitting your request. Either a Confirmation Report will be sent to you via fax or e-mail, or you will receive a phone call or e-mail informing you that the space you requested is not available.
