Ten Pin Bowling
Get ready to roll at Bowlarama Palmerston North! With 26 lanes of fully automated tenpin action, we’ve got the latest AMF gear and high-tech scoring to keep the vibes high and the competition fierce.
All you need to do is slide into a pair of our classic bowling shoes, pick your perfect ball, and let our machines handle the heavy lifting while you focus on that strike!
Not feeling the lanes today? No worries! We’ve got plenty of ways to play with pool tables, arcade games, and air hockey. Plus, our licensed bar is ready to serve, alongside a massive range of chilled non-alcoholic drinks—from fizzy faves and energy drinks to the full Bundaberg lineup.
If you’ve worked up an appetite, we’ve got the ultimate Kiwi snack bar waiting for you. Grab a hot pie or sausage roll, some chippies and lollies, or dive into a freezer packed with iconic Tip Top ice creams.
Pro Tips for a Great Time:
– Don’t forget your socks! They’re a total must-have for our bowling shoes.
