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 rule... See more

Booked online

Booked online, only to find that for Laser Tag the online price is 300% more than walk in price! Questioned this with staff, they couldn't belive it.

Great facility

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. Had some gift vouchers to use but the online booking system doesn’t accept gift vouchers, so I had to phone to book our lane - luckily there was no fee for our booking. Enjoyable bowling experience - would recommend. Would be even better if parking in Trinity Walk was free with a tenpin booking.

We were disappointed with our visit

We were disappointed with our visit. During one of our games, the scoring system stopped responding, which meant we had to wait for a member of staff to come over and eventually move us to another lane. As we had only booked a one-hour slot, this ate into our playing time.

Initially, we weren’t given the lost time back, so I had to go and ask for our session to be extended. Unfortunately, the staff didn’t seem particularly attentive, and having to find someone and explain the situation again wasted even more of our allocated time.

Overall, the experience felt rushed and poorly managed. Based on our visit, I wouldn’t recommend booking just a one-hour slot, as any technical issue or delay significantly reduces the amount of time you actually get to play.

Enjoyable experience

Clean, bright, no queues, friendly staff, plenty of choice for things to do for a fun night out...only downside was bowling balls need to go up to XL fingerholes as my friend struggled to get his fingers in large holes, we asked staff but they confirmed large was biggest they have available.
