Plan your visit
Ten glow lanes you book ahead
The centre runs 10 high-tech, glow-in-the-dark tenpin lanes with a retro theme, billed as the only bowling alley in Newry. You book a lane in advance, online or on 028 30 260 000, rather than chancing a walk-in, which matters most at weekends when it gets busy. Bowling has been listed at around £6.95 per person, though prices and offers move, so confirm the current rate when you book. The venue does not spell out shoe hire, bumpers, gutter rails or lightweight balls for little ones on its site, so if you are bringing toddlers it is worth a quick call to check what is available before you go. Kids' birthday parties are a regular fixture, with a package that bundles an hour of bowling, a hot meal and unlimited juice.
