๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

Best for school-age children and teens wanting a full indoor entertainment session - bowling followed by escape rooms and arcade games fills two to three hours easily. Toddlers are welcome and pram access is throughout. Crowds can build on weekends, so pre-booking bowling lanes is essential.

โ€œMe and my son visited today after a movie at Vue, honestly at first I'd have to say our experience wasn't the best. It was busy and chaotic with the queue for the bowling and prize redeem seemingly excessively long, we had an issue with one of the machines not working properly that took a while to get fixed but the poor gent was very apologetic and was clearly rushing about everywhere. We did find that a lot of the prizes to be redeemed weren't available with quite a few being out of stock but one of the managers did come over and explain that they had to remove some of the items from the display and tried his best to suggest some alternatives/help me placate my son because they were out of the colour ball he wanted. Whilst it wasn't exactly the experience we were expecting I think with the level of business some standards can definitely be negotiated and the staff team were all trying their best to be as helpful and quick as possible even when being shouted at.โ€

โ€œPros: Tenpin has always been a great place, I've been visiting for many years and it has failed to disappoint, from high intensity shooters and racing to games of pool, it brings a lot to the table Cons: In my recent visits to tenpin, I've noticed that some of the games are ยฃ2 to ยฃ3 instead of the regular ยฃ1, and some simple photos it will cost you ยฃ4, also some shooter games don't calibrate sometimes. Tenpin will be a great experience for anyone, just avoid high cost games.โ€

โ€œGreat visit to see the family, such a great location, with a big arcade area to keep the kids entertained, along with other cool areas, pool tables, these amazingly designed escape rooms and of course bowling. Great evening out.โ€
