The Garage is home to family entertainment and amusements all under one roof. Whether you want to bond over bowling and adventure golf or zoom around the track in our 200cc go-karts, The Garage has got you sorted.
With 12 lanes, tenpin bowling at The Garage is always a fun and lively activity! Fully computerised, it's easy to keep track of who's winning and who isn't. For younger members of the family, The Garage can provide bumpers so their efforts at bowling don't end up in the gutter – literally.
Everyone over 8 years old and 1.2m tall; you can pretend to be F1 drivers on our go-kart track. Drift, swerve and race around the impressive indoor track. You might just be surprised by how fast the karts can go! Will you come in first place, or will you be left in the dust? You can arrive and drive with your group or with others on the track.
