Bowl away the boredom!

A well designed bowling alley and seating area makes this place enjoyable to spend some time at. One slight niggle, though, would be the congestion that can form around the shoe handover/pick-up point. With all the space available to the left of the main reception desk, a better system could be considered.Bowling shoes were included in the cost of your game (this isn't the case at all bowling alleys) and really do help make you feel that you are taking part in a proper sport. The Alleys have a seating are behind them, one area per two lanes, but watch out for the step from the seating area onto the bowling area - it is easy forget it is there as both our children and ourselves did on a few occasions.Choosing a bowl to use is made easy, as a sample bowl showing all the different finger hole sizes is near the reception along with details of the colour code system for the bowl; weights - all very handy. The bowls are lined up in racks behind the seating areas and were mainly in weight/size order.Setting up a game was easy, but staff were available to help if needed. The centre had an eating area and a bar area and meals/drinks could be ordered.
