• How many people can I go bowling or play mini golf with?

  In all our centres there is no limit on the number of people who can bowl together in a group.

  We have installed full height dividers between the lane seating areas. The maximum capacity we allow on each lane is 8 players.

  For mini golf, currently you can only book for 6 people. A maximum of 60 people are allowed on each course at one time.

• Can I get food and drink whilst bowling or playing mini golf?

  Yes, of course, you can get food and drink whilst at Hollywood Bowl. Food and drinks can be ordered using the QR code on tables and menus, at selected centres, or from the bar and diner.

  We recommend that you pre-order food and drink when booking your game. If you do wish to order and pay in centre, contactless payments are preferred.

• How long does a game of bowling or mini golf take?

  We allow 10 minutes per person, per game. Therefore, 1 game for 2 guests is allocated a 20 minute time slot.
  2 games for 2 guests would be allocated a 40 minute time slot, etc.

  A game of mini golf takes approximately 10 minutes per person for one course. So if six people were playing on one course together, it would typically last about an hour. The more courses you play, the longer the game will last.
