Things To Do
Deemed the 'crown jewels of bowling', King Pins is a cherished activity of bowling and a timeless pastime that has been embraced by generations. Only having opened in July 2023, it's ready to welcome families and bowlers of all ages! Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-time bowler, the venue offers a friendly and inclusive environment that caters to all skill levels.
With a state-of-the-art bowling alley adorned with sleek lanes, interactive screens, and an array of colourful balls, King Pins ensures that every roll down the lane is an exhilarating experience. They have 15 lands of tenpin bowling lanes and 4 lanes of Duck Pin bowling - which is a shorter, faster and new game in the UK!
Did you know it has a 26m long digital screen spanning over all the lanes?! The first in all of Europe!
Families can choose from various bowling formats, be it the classic ten-pin game or innovative twists that incorporate challenges, cosmic bowling, and even bumper lanes for the littlest bowlers. The user-friendly scoring systems and lane assist features make the experience accessible and enjoyable for everyone, ensuring that even the youngest family members can partake in the excitement.
The bowling balls are also fun and quirky looking!
Duck Pin Bowling
Never heard of it? We haven't either! It's a brand new game in the UK which focuses on shorter games of bowling. But that doesn't mean the fun is any less. This game requires more precision... Especially since the bowling balls are lighter. Shorter, faster, lighter. An exceptionally fun bowling experience.
