It is a great setup, making it good for kids and would be a great school holiday activity. The car park is located outdoors on the ground floor with access from both Cross Road and Goodwood Road, which provides convenient access to the venue. It is a fairly large car park. However, it is very likely to be full during peak times and the holidays. The entrance provides easy access for all (including prams, wheelchairs and mobility devices). Inside, you're greeted with Retro styling, disco, and mood lighting with some great upbeat music. There are coloured LEDs along each of the Bowling Lanes, and the sitting area set up for each lane is spacious enough to cater for your group to wait comfortably for their turn to bowl. All lanes have the ability for bumper bowling so that kids can have fun while adults can play the full game. There are other aids available (such as ramps) to cater to the young ones and those with special needs, which is fantastic to make this an all-inclusive place. The bowling lanes have computer control for the scoreboard, which is interactive and provides real-time feedback on your bowling for those that are competitive. There's some great food and drink options internally from the cafe with table service to the Bowling Lanes. There is also QR code ordering to add to the convenience. There is also a timezone arcade games area that draws the kids in. A good arrangement of games to keep everyone entertained for quite a while. Laser Tag is also available as another fun activity to complete solo, or in addition to a few games of bowling. Overall, it is a great place to entertain the kids.

We’ve been here a bunch of times and always had a great time (at least 4 stars). But was first time we had a party here for a 7 year old. The facilities and activities were great, but would have to say the energy/enthusiasm/professionalism of the party host was… underwhelming, to put it politely. Felt like we were a burden on her time and put almost zero effort into interacting with the kids or even cracking a smile around them. I had to step in and make sure the kids took their turns bowling to keep the party flowing. Felt a bit embarrassed when I heard her telling a colleague that the party was taking ages and it was running late like I had done something wrong. Also in retrospect when I got a call 4 days before the party asking me to be at the venue early, I’m now wondering if they wanted all party guests to also be early to get things started on the dot. Well, that is information I needed 3 weeks earlier when booking the party and sending out the invites. Not in a vague request to me days before the party. I know it’s run by teenagers but that could easily be made more clear throughout the booking process. Anything to make me experience a little less hostility when I’m there to see my kid enjoy themselves and paying a lot of money for the benefit!

Great for the kids. Was there with my 6yo Daughter for nearly 3 hours playing in the Arcade area. Was a large amount of people and a large B-day party as well. They seemed to have extra staff on. As soon as we Entered Angelika, and Balian (Balian, from Timezone) jumped through hurdles to accommodate my odd ball request right out the gate. My daughter had a problem with a machine, and again Balian helped out above and beyond. And after all that we couldn't workout how to use the token counter. Guess who was there... Yes Balian. AGAIN!! Had us sorted in seconds. Zac was great sorting out the prizes my daughter was picking out. found out it was Zac's first training shift learning the ropes. Honestly I had no idea, it was like he had been there for months. Was a great experience, hats off to all the staff, special mentions to Angelica, and Zac. Balian. Again... above and beyond, I don't know what to say. So thanks. Your a Legend.

  • Rachel Dean

Our party host Evie was fantastic! She managed to keep a group of unruly 7 year old boys in control, guiding them from each activity to the next. Even when the food was behind a few minutes she directed the group to air hockey where they happily played until ushered into the party room. I didn't have to do much at all which was lucky as I had a one year old to chase... All the party guests had an absolute blast and my son has already told me that he wants to have ALL his birthday parties at laser tag. A few of his friends have already said they would like to do the same for their birthdays! I was worried the games of laser were very short and over quickly but after laser, party food and arcade games the party went for just the right amount of time. It would have been unnecessary to purchase an extra round. Not one child had any complaints. Definitely recommend Zone Bowling for your next children's (or adult) party!

  • Erin Buku

WOW! today we threw a SURPRISE Birthday party for our 9yo daughter. Zone Bowling took care of the whole thing and it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! Our excellent party host Anastasia got all the kids to hide just before we got there, so the moment of surprise was executed perfectly!! The birthday girl was very surprised ☺️ And so began 3 hours of non stop fun. Our host Anastasia was young and fun and friendly and well organised! She was so helpful and kind to the little ones too which was sweet. The cafe catered entirely vegan and gluten free at our request and it was surprisingly good! Bowling, Lazer skirmish food + drink and arcade games, everyone had an absolute blast THANK YOU and well done Anastasia and the entire team at Zone

  • Lynn Matthews

There weren't a lot of people there when we went. It was nice. The bowling balls from the last group weren't put away and we couldnt put any balls there. So we put them away. (This should of been done before they gave us our alley.) But other than that all was good. We ordered sweet potato chips. They had a bit too much salt on them for me but they were crunchy and addictive, my grandson liked them. My daughter got a hot dog and a drink. I was thinking just the normal meal. Wow. This was no normal meal. This was huge. She couldn't finish the hot dog( very rare) and the drink was spectacular. It was called a strawberry and cream dream. It had strawberry milk, cream, kit kat, sprinkles, musk sticks and lollies. It looked fantastic. A in all it was a good night.

  • chantel urbano

After having my daughters 8th birthday party at Zone Bowling I have nothing but great things to say about the team work and effort shown towards us on the day. The party hosts were friendly and so helpful going above and beyond to ensure that not only my daughter was happy but also making sure that I had time to enjoy the party. I was very impressed with the party hosts they were amazing they made an effort to get to know the children during the party and even taking note of which children wanted which part of the cake to ensuring that all dietary needs of the guests were met without hassle. Another thing the standard of the food was really good having the healthy options of good quality fruit and sandwiches. Thank you so much for a great day Zone!

  • Stephen Ford

Staff definitely going through the motions tonight - very lacklustre - no warm welcome - told us we were on lane 19 then lane 26 then lane 7 after having to enquire again and again. Tried the £10 dollar milkshakes but presume they had to milk the cow first as it took 20 minutes to arrive. Played games in arcade but without warning they just turned all the power off and we were just starting a game. Feels like we didn’t really get value for money and if the staff can’t be bothered to smile or engage customers then the management should shut New Year’s Day as can only presume they were all working with hangovers. Shame as the set up is designed well but more training needed for customer facing staff

  • mark smith

We couldn’t have had a better experience if we tried!!! Our sons 6th Birthday was absolutely amazing… Sophie and Marissa our party hosts were sensational. Nothing was too much trouble, they made sure we were looked after, answered all of our questions, had fun with the kids, cleaned up after our crazy bunch, chatted with myself and my wife throughout the party and genuinely seemed like they like really wanted us to have a great experience. Which we did!! If you have some sort of team members of the month award… please give it to them. Thanks Zone Bowling Cross Road - you nailed it.

  • Leah Byrne

We had a kid’s birthday party at Zone Bowling and it was amazing! All of the kids had a great time, it was completely hassle free and everything was taken care of, including a complimentary parent’s coffee on arrival! Josh and Annabell were our party hosts and were fantastic! Kept the kids entertained and engaged the whole time, I could not recommend the venue highly enough. Big thanks to all staff, but especially Josh and Anna, you were amazing!

  • sAm

Great experience, atmosphere, ample parking, yummy food (and choices for the kids). Ollie was our party host. What an amazing person and host he is. All kids and parents were appreciative of the way he was managing everything, so diligent and nice. He took care of everything from the time we stepped in till the time we left. Food was great, activities were great and all the kids went home happy. What else one wants from the birthday party.

  • Jason Robert Baker

Absolutely had a blast so I'm not going to mention the price. Some fun does come at a cost and to me it was worth it. I did pay for 6 people though. My group were a bit naughty and were told off for bowling in another closed lane and told it was unsafe if someone was working behind the pins. I get that but why wouldn't the bar not be put down in front of the pins? If you want safety then look for safety concerns. Thanks

  • E KOLA

Fantastic party hosts, nothing was too much trouble. They were very patient, clearly communicated at all times. Great options and clear organisation. Hosts were great with any curve balls that were thrown at them and were a large group with very diverse needs (language, ages etc.) and last minute changes. Well done, really appreciate the effort you put into making our child's party very special.

  • Trevor Scott

It is a long time since I went bowling, but today called into this venue. Advertised on the wall behind the desk were a number of different options you could choose to play. Found what seemed to fit with us. Had a great afternoon, we have decided to return as it has been too long between bowling. We enjoyed a nice coffee from their cafe, the staff were really good and friendly.

  • Maria K

This place is great because they hire great people, everyone we interacted with, from the barista to the lovely girls handing out the bowling shoes to the kids, were amazing: polite, helpful and dedicated. The whole place is well kept and surprisingly clean when you consider the number of children running havoc. Good food and very reasonably priced, delicious coffee too.

  • yang shen

Thank you for being a fantastic venue for my son's 11th birthday party. The laser games, arcade games, and private celebration room were all top-notch. Party Host Charniphfer (sorry if spelling is wrong) was dedicated, friendly, and exceeded our expectations. The kids had a great time, and my husband and I had no worries. We are grateful for the wonderful experience.

  • Jake Williams

Came into zone bowling at cross roads and me and my partner and her friends had a blast we had so much fun but we would like to say a big thank you to Jasmine on how polite and how nice she was towards all of us with the experience like that we will definitely will be back it was great atmosphere great service and staff was friendly Thank you Cross roads

  • Carly Thomson

No.. you didn’t bowl us over. At least not in a good way. We arrived from the other side of town and we told our booking was delayed by an hour because “it was busy”. We have small children and couldn’t wait so we’re very disappointed. Why take bookings? Especially ones that require you to pay in full… what a waste of time. No stars

  • Jodi Wormald

Fantastic designated party person Mackenzie was an absolute gem, Mackenzie was professional and friendly the girls in the party thought she was wonderful, they listened to her and she kept them under control as they moved from one activity to the next, Thank you Mackenzie and Zone Bowling for a great party in your new party room

  • Megan Turnbull

We had our son’s 10th party here with a double laser tag and arcade party. Our host Ollie, was fantastic! He was awesome with the kids and also had great communication with us, letting us know what was happening with every stage of the party. I would definitely recommend Ollie and Zone Bowling for kids parties.

  • Tony

Mackenzie was fantastic, she kept the children under control and the event moving along. Mackenzie was very helpful and thoughtful during our visit, thanks so much for making my daughters 5th birthday a breeze. The kids loved it!! Brooke Romano PS Missing gift was found, appreciate your help with that too x

  • Jennifer Chen

It’s really pleasant experience at zone bowling cross road! Boys all had fun time! Highly recommended the party host Tori, she is very friendly and nice! Helping out the party all the time and patiently meet all our requirements! Gave the instructions to the kids and made the party done well! Thank you!

  • Tamara Wilton

Went here last minute on a Saturday night. We were able to get a lane for 4 of us without booking. Staff were friendly, and the service was efficient. Pricing was relatively on par to most other bowling alleys in the area. Only put as a 4 as some IT issues meant people had wrong scores for both games.

  • Rach C

Fun place to play bowling and laser tag. Took staff a while to let me & my partner through the laser tag but friendly staff nonetheless. Don't really recommend when there's a child party there, on the weekend or school holidays, its that loud in there you can't hear yourself think. Good arcade games.

  • Jo Mama

Really don’t appreciate the fact that a pride pin was hidden on a doll my child received today! Feel like toddler aged children don’t need this kinda thing pushed down their throats. Not only that but the fact a pin was hidden on a child’s toy which in itself poses some hazards, do better next time.

  • Redhima Govinden

Zone bowling has an amazing birthday package that kept 11 seven year olds well entertained. From bowling, laser tag to arcade games, could a child ask for more. Our party host Ned coordinated the party so well that I could catch up with the moms and knew the kids were in safe hands. Thank you Ned.

  • Liisa Grace Baun

Excellent school holiday deals! Went here twice with grandchildren during the school holidays, played 2 games of bowling + $10 cafe voucher + 20 minutes unlimited arcade games + 250 power points + $10 return voucher all for $29! Staff are friendly. Very busy place. Easy parking in a good location.

  • Josephine Duigan

Zone bowling Cross Roads. So much fun with my family. Bruce a bit sad bit lonely left alone for quite a while. He soon bounced back when the front door opened! I know this is about 10 pin bowling but I love my dog and that is all. Oops. Forgot about the Fam team kids supporting me. With ❤️.

  • Natasha Horne

Would be 0 stars. Rude staff, plenty of staff working but no one helping the one person trying to get shoes and set up lanes etc. Didn't even bother bowling after the way we were treated at the front. Go to the Woodville one instead, much better set up and staff are welcoming and friendly.

  • Ben

We had a fun night over 2 games of bowling, but we had to wait a short while for our alley to be set up despite having a booking. The alley itself also kept glitching - the pins were getting stuck and not being cleared and occasionally the computer gave us free strikes and spares.

  • kristy jackson

Easiest kids party we’ve had. Zoe was awesome and made sure everything ran smoothly so we could relax and enjoy the party stress free. Party package includes so much and is great value. Kids had a ball and they serve wine and beers for the adults so ticks all the boxes …

  • ANNA LIANOS

The staff were really friendly, helpful and patient, would definitely recommend to everybody. I purchased the mega deal (laser tag and games arcade) for my niece and nephew and then we added more services after the deal was completed. Next visit I will participate as well.

  • Erika Bon

Always a great place to take kids during school holidays- at times can get noisy but nothing my SPD ASP child can’t cope with. We normally take advantage of the mega fun package with any two games (bowling or laser tag), shoes hire, 5 arcade games, $10 cafe voucher.

  • Lorna Liang

I highly recommend this place for all busy parents who don't have time to organize party for kids. Staffs here are supportive and friendly, the staff April helped us on the organization and girls loved her very much. We had a very happy birthday party here.

  • Fong Kee

We had our 6yo birthday party at Zone Bowling. Our party host Harry was amazing! Very helpful, great with the kids, and was an all round superstar. The kids loved the party and had a good time at bowling, laser tag and the arcade. Thanks for a great party!

  • Holly Goode-Smith

Have always loved coming here as a kid, and now that I am 18 I want to relive my childhood because I am feeling quite depressed. I love knocking balls down and playing cheeky games in the arcade. The food is pricy but thats to be expected. Stay awesome.

  • John Morgan

Great party and the birthday boy and his guests had a great time. Our Zone Bowling host, Mei, did a great job keeping them well organised and made sure they had lots of fun. Everything went smoothly and kept 13 thirteen year olds under control!

  • Skye Shepherd

Great busy and fun place to go, I love the character and vibe the place has. The arcade and laser skirmish here is also super fun. Food isn’t too bad too. Would prefer some more drink options and cleaner toilets but over all, a great place :)

  • Ilias

Had my daughters 8th birthday party here. Couldn't of asked for a better and we'll organised day. They took all the stress away and most importantly the kids had a great day. A special thanks to Teresa and staff for putting it all together.

  • Kamal Bali

We celebrated our son’s birthday party & we had a great time. Awesome place with delicious food. Too many gaming options for kids. Our party organiser April was very helpful and courteous. Many thanks to her for making it successful.

  • Jay Wheeler

Place was getting smashed. People every where. Space crammed with video games so you couldn’t walk anywhere and the lanes weren’t working properly. Missed pins, ball returns not operating and lanes randomly closing and not working.

  • MARK Cronin

We had an 8yo birthday party, due to unforeseen circumstances we ended up only having 8 people instead of 10. Despite this our host Layla looked after us very well and was extremely accommodating. Very very happy with the service.

  • Jaden C

Really nice place... Nice ambience and staff were really friendly... I would have given five stars if the laser tag place was a bit bigger...we had a good time bowling as well... but overall experience was really good....

  • Martin Marinelli

My sons Bowling party was a really great day. All the kids had a great time. Our Host Mackenzie has helpful, attentive and most of all super fun and engaging. My daughter wants her next party to be a bowling party now!

Marissa was great! Friendly and flexible, recommend her as your host. The Kitchen however was a bit slow in synchronising food and drinks to avoid kids complaining but overall very good a hassle free party for mum.

  • Andrew Butler

Bowling is bowling. Place a little dated but what really sets them back are the vacant staff. Allow you to wait an eternity at the counters, and its not busy. Zombies.

  • Meeky M

I used to love this place when I was little. Lots of nostalgia and it's still great fun! What a way to get the family together or do something different with friends.

  • Chris Nilsen

Like most bowling alleys, this place is very noisy. Lots of people, music playing and arcade machines adding to the noise levels. Bowling lanes were good however.

  • Fred Wright

No half size shoes. No size 7 shoes. I had to wear my own shoes. The staff didn't seem to be very organised. They were pleasant but that's it. Also not cheap.

  • ZeRo ShAdOw

This bowling alley was nice and big. Lanes were great. A little expensive though and it might be time to buy new balls. The games were fun for the kids.
