Fairview Bowling Center is a five-pin bowling center located in the Pacific Place Mall in northeast Calgary.

Fairview originally was located in the North Hill Shopping Centre, in the same building as the former Cineplex Odeon North Hill Cinema. The North Hill location featured 32 lanes on an upper-floor access.

The current location features 24 lanes divided into two sections of 12 lanes. The lanes are at ground level with one section playing to the north and the other to the south. The lanes feature a Qubica Bowland Lite automatic scoring system and are equipped with anti-loft devices. Fairview offers glow bowling on the weekends. The 12 lanes in the south section are currently Calgary's only computer-retractable bumper lanes for five pin. The facility also features an arcade and lounge, including multiple 8-ball pool tables.

Fairview was the host center for the 2005 National Classified five pin championships.

Fairview is known for its collection of Coca-Cola nostalgia. Customers can view a variety of Coca-Cola signs and posters throughout the facility. It is the only five pin center in Calgary that offers Coca-Cola products.
