Three-floor entertainment venue on Glassford Street with full-length Brunswick bowling lanes with bumpers, Batfast batting cages, and AR darts for ages 12+. Arcade games, food throughout, and lift access to all floors.

✓ Three activities in one✓ Quiet on Saturdays✓ Lift access all floors✓ AR darts 12+✓ Staff inconsistent

🏆 Funzaroo Verdict

A practical rainy-day option for families with older children and teens who want three distinct activities in one venue on Glassford Street. Saturday daytimes are the quietest — multiple visitors report having the space largely to themselves. Bumpers on the bowling lanes keep younger children in the game.

🎟️Under-18s must leave by 20:00 midweek and 18:00 at weekends — plan your timing accordingly

“The darts was fun... Time was 9.30pm to 10pm, then we book another game of darts for 10pm to half 10pm( 9th of February). Who ever the woman way the short hair is( brown hair a think) she was very rude to my friend who is on the spectrum... When he asked her to repeat a the answer to his question, she acted offended..as if we're wasting her time. Good places way good darts... Would go again ... Don't like that short haired woman... Needs customer service training.... Goodbye.”
