What it’s like
Bowling and arcade games under one roof, open late most nights if you fancy a lane after tea.
Bowling's the main event here, with arcade machines to soak up the time between your frames or while you wait for a lane to free up. It's a straightforward setup rather than a big activity centre, so don't go expecting soft play or a maze to explore. What you get is lanes and games, which suits an evening out more than a rainy Tuesday morning filler.
The hours are the interesting bit. Sunday to Monday it's 11am to 11pm, and Tuesday to Friday it stretches to midnight, which is later than most bowling alleys bother staying open. Saturday goes right up to 3am, so if you've got older kids and fancy a proper late one, this is the place that'll let you.
There's no booking link listed, so it looks like you can just turn up, though on a Saturday night with those hours running that late you might find it's busier with a different crowd than your average family bowling trip. Worth bearing that timing in mind if you're taking younger children and want an earlier, quieter slot.
