I prefer to do bowling with bowling shoes on as it helps you to slide. I'm not too keen on pins with string but can understand why as it helps to set them up quicker. I personally found the light show... See more

Bowling experience Good, food not so good.
The bowling experience was good as were the other entertainments but the food is at the opposite end of the scale. It took nearly 30 mins to come and when it did it was cold. Pictures of waiting for deliveroo to fetch it from the local McDonalds and then a further delay as it was repackaged come to my mind.

This eas our 1st time visiting York we normally go to Castleford as this is our closest. Excellent check in Excellent bar staff could not complain. We found it very compact on top of each other, also we was on lane 24 and at a certain point on the alley it rolled to the side as if he lane was not straight which was quite annoying especially with a child with needs. Also there didn't seem to be any weight in the pins , unfortunately this was a disappointing visit.

Disappointing
Difficult booking system and when needing to increase the number of games were forced to move lanes midway through with a child with special needs. This led to upset that wasn’t needed with better organisation.
