Plan your visit

The bowling - made easy for little ones

Tenpin bowling suits almost any age once the lane is set up for them. Ask the desk to switch on the bumpers (the rails that cover the gutters) so children's balls always reach the pins, and ask for a lightweight ball or a push ramp for the youngest bowlers. Shoes are hired at the counter and are included or added on depending on the venue. Most alleys cap a lane at around six players, which works well for a family or a small group. We can't confirm the exact lane count here, so check with the venue when you book.
