One game of bowling at ZONE BOWLING lasts around 45 minutes to 1 hour for 5 to 6 people. Plenty of time to score a perfect 300. To be more specific, it translates to each game lasting approximately 10 minutes per person on the lane.Â
6 people or less per lane.Â
Yes, you will, if you book ahead and guarantee your lanes. For all bookings of over 6 people, you will automatically be given 2 side by side lanes.
We sell socks in venue for $4.50!
Bowling shoes are specially made as they allow customers to "slide" when Bowling, helping you hit that strike. It is important that these shoes are worn at all times as the incorrect footwear is a potential safety risk and can damage the approach to the lanes.Â
We range from Toddlers size 6 up to Men’s size 16
Men's bowling shoe sizes are the same as their normal shoes.
Women's bowling shoe sizes are two sizes below their normal shoe size. Example a ladies size 8 is a bowling size 6.
Kid's shoe sizes are the same as their normal shoes.
Unfortunately, there are no half sizes.

Check out our refund policy here >>
It's up to you. You can recharge any amount, but the larger the amount you recharge the more bonus bucks you will receive.
No. For Arcade Credit to be applied the full amount must be applied to one card. If you split the money across two cards the lesser ratio per card will apply.
Yes, they will! We want you to still be in the running to collect enough tickets to win that plushie you’ve been saving up for!
We need 100 of your favourite dollars as a booking deposit - it's the only way to keep Meryl from accounts happy. Then, we need the final balance four business days before your party, based on your final number of guests. This deposit is non-refundable from the date of booking on.
A minimum of 10 guests will get the party started.
Save the lives of parents, that's what! Your party host will keep the kids entertained on the day and sort out all the nitty gritty organisational details before. But remember: your party host is not an actual parent, so while he/she will guide activities for the duration of the party, we still need the parents, guardians or carers to stay close for supervision.
A carer is a parent, guardian or adult responsible for supervising the party kids and also acts as a touchpoint for our hosts. We recommend that carers are present for the duration of your party. Carers are there to ensure the kids are all in attendance during each activity, escort the kids to the bathroom and ensure they are behaving appropriately in the venue. If there is a problem the host will inform the carers, so it is necessary to remain in the venue to be able to supervise the party.
Yes!
Nope, sorry. It's not you, it's us: our food options are just way too yummy, so you have to experience it!Â
In the ZONE BOWLING party room (at selected centres only), or on the concourse, subject to availability.

Nope. Remember to remind all guests to bring their own pair of socks! Socks are also available for purchase in venue.
We suggest arriving 15 minutes before your start time: this will help with organising shoes, food, details etc, and ensure that your party begins on time and that none of the guests miss out on any of the fun. Your party will commence on the hour: no waiting for latecomers!

The party tables will be available for up to 45 minutes. Please note that even though we make every effort to guarantee tables are available for adults, this may not be possible during busier periods.

Events are typically 2-2.5 hours long. That allows plenty of time for arrivals, getting shoes and set up on the lane and of course eating and drinking . If you have a large guest count or would like to host a tournament style event, we suggest hosting a 3 hour event. However, if a 1 game package has been chosen the event will take 1-1.5 hours
