Bowling in York

If you're after a proper bowling session, it's a drive out to Selby for Selby Superbowl. There's tenpin lanes with bumpers and ramps for the smaller ones, so a six year old can still get a strike without much help, and older kids can have a go on the non-contact laser game while you wait for your turn. There's on-site food too, so you don't have to break up the visit to find lunch. With only one option on this page, the choice is really about who's coming. Bumpers and ramps make it low-stress for toddlers and younger children, while the laser game gives older kids something extra so they don't get bored between frames. Free parking and party rooms mean it works well for a birthday do, though you'll want to book ahead. It's not on your doorstep if you're in York itself, but it's a fair trip for a full afternoon out.
