Just one problem this time. On arrival we were told to use alley no 3. We had our grandsons with us and they use the optional side barriers for their bowling. It wasn't until the 3rd bowl for the boys... See more

Expensive for what you get
Clean place but very busy. Staff couldn’t cope with the amount of people there. Toilets were a bit filthy given the amount of people inside. Over priced for what we got. Easy to use screen on the lane.
