First time we have visited the Tenpin in Wakefield - great to have a new tenpin facility in the city. Very impressed with the facilities there - 24 lanes for bowling plus lots of other arcade games.... See more

Nice new facility but highly expensive

The ten pin bowling was fantastic, we took my grandchildren it was expensive for one game but the kids enjoyed it they also played some of the arcade games too.
We looked at doing an escape room but would have been over £120 pounds for a 60min room highly expensive especially in this cost of living crisis i would have thought keeping prices reasonable would encourage more people to use this.
I dont think we will be back at these prices

Overall a good visit

Overall a good visit, staff helpful and polite. Really strange that you are "forced" to sign a waiver saying a member of staff has gone through the rules (laser tag) before you go in and have the rules explained. This seems back to front and the staff say they have no discretion when I raised it

Hi Adam
We appreciate your feedback regarding the waiver process for laser tag. We understand how it could seem unusual to sign a document acknowledging rule explanation before the rules are actually presented. We are reviewing our procedures to ensure a more logical and customer-friendly experience for everyone. We're glad our staff were helpful and polite during your visit. Best wishes - Clare

This was our first visit to the…

This was our first visit to the Wakefield bowling alley. It was way too warm, the aircon did not seem to be working. I personally do not like the bowling area. I like to have my own kind of booth. Yes I would go again. But my first choice would be your Dewsbury site. It just seems far nicer

Nice but too hot!

Really nice in there, although expensive! Lanes were quite short, but everything is nice and new. Seating areas for the lanes are quite small so it does feel like you’re very close to the people either side of you. It was also far too warm.

First visit

The game of bowls was great. The only downside of our visit was the wait at check-in (even though we'd booked online) as there was only one member of staff.

The staff are friendly and amazing

The staff are friendly and amazing. Areas are spotlessly clean. Food was of great quality and served very quickly and I did order loads of chicken baskets. Prices are okay but feel in some areas, on some games, could be checked. Wasn't that busy but it was a Sunday night. Overall, I will definitely be going back to play more bowling, table tennis and pool.

Great experience and good value for money. Booked the deal with a children’s meal included which was great 👍🏻. Wasn’t too busy at all so felt relaxed and not having to shout to have a conversation. Everything looked clean and tidy and we even won on the claw machines in the arcades after bowling. Would return and recommend to others

Very very very rude staff and drinks…

Very very very rude staff and drinks took ages to be ready. We ordered drinks from the lane before our first game of bowling and we had to go and ask twice about them, eventually bringing them back ourselves near the end of our first game - and there were six of us with a couple of young kids, so we weren't going fast!

This is certainly not the service we aim to provide, especially when you have young children with you. Your feedback is important and will be shared with the team for improvements.
