Overall a good visit, staff helpful and polite. Really strange that you are "forced" to sign a waiver saying a member of staff has gone through the rules (laser tag) before you go in and have the rule... See more

First time we have visited the Tenpin in Wakefield - great to have a new tenpin facility in the city. Very impressed with the facilities there - 24 lanes for bowling plus lots of other arcade games.... See more

Great experience and good value for money. Booked the deal with a children’s meal included which was great 👍🏻. Wasn’t too busy at all so felt relaxed and not having to shout to have a conversation.... See more

Very disappointing party package
The children loved the laser quest and the arcades but the service was very disappointing. We had booked a laser party and once the party host had signed them in, we didn’t see him again. My child fell over in the game and hurt his leg, causing a huge bruise and we weren’t notified.
But the most disappointing element was the food afterwards. After receiving their pizzas, we were kept waiting 45 minutes for the cake and a further 20 minutes for their ice cream. Nobody came to see us at the end to conclude the party and it was overall just so disappointing. I would take the children again for an activity but would certainly not recommend a party package.

Tuesday discounts
Great to have Tuesday discounts and looks very impressive inside. I did however nearly get charged full price for bowling and they didn't even question the price until I mentioned it.
The music could do with being varied rather than constant dance music.
Ate here but there were very limited options especially as I am vegetarian and the cheese pizza was pretty poor as there was hardly and cheese. More options and more ingredients on would improve it. If you could consider pool where you rent a table for a certain amount of time would be good like other places do

Amazing experience for children and young people with disabilities
We visited on a Tuesday evening with a group of 10 blind and partially sighted children and young people, and their families (there were 36 people in our group in total). Some of our children have additional needs/disabilities, including one child who is a wheelchair user. At the point of booking I mentioned that some of our group have sensitivities around noise and asked whether the music could be quieter in our area. This was communicated to the team who made sure this was actioned on arrival.
Every member of staff we dealt with was kind, courteous, and very sensitive to our needs. Nothing was too much trouble and because the staff were so good it really made the whole experience run much smoother. It was also a lot less stressful for me as the group leader!
The whole area felt spacious and easy to navigate, and I felt that the slight separation of the bowling lanes from the arcade area was helpful as it meant our kids focused on completing the bowling rather than running around the arcade as happens at the one at Xscape!
We will definitely come to Wakefield in future as it was an excellent experience from start to finish. I have already made two more group bookings for July and September!
Massive thanks to everyone who looked after us. We are so grateful for the amount of care than went into ensuring we had a great experience!

The place is great, staff were nice and helpful, the lane faulted a few times and we ended up on a different one in the end but wasn’t a big deal.

Good place, spacefull and welcoming. Only reason that it wasn't a 5 star was due to long wait to check in due to only people can do it which is weird

Still in progress …. Staff unfriendly
Nice and clean bowling alley, which you would expect given that it just opened a couple of weeks ago. Me and my toddler enjoyed the bowling experience itself.
However, the bowling check-in staff (x2) were very miserable and not welcoming at all. Not a single customer service skill in sight. It was a quiet Tuesday afternoon. I would understand if it was a busy day and they were flustered, but that was not the case. At least a third of the arcade games were still not set up which was shame given it’s been open a while. The arcade needs some more child friendly games

Forgotten meal order
Our 2nd visit and we did the bowl and meal offer - our meal never arrived and when we asked about it, it wasn’t clear what had happened, but it hadn’t been made, we waited another 30 mins and eventually got tepid food. Not a good experience, there were lots of staff around and the manager was very apologetic. Air con wasn’t on again which made bowling uncomfortable. Real shame they haven’t got proper pinsetters, the strings resulted in errors on scoring again. Come on Tenpin, you can do better than this.
