Before you hit the lanes let's pin down your questions. Learn all you need to know before you roll into Zone Bowling. From bowling and laser tag to birthday parties and gift cards. Check out the categories below for our frequently asked questions.Â
One game of bowling at Zone Bowling lasts around 45 minutes to 1 hour for 5 to 6 people. Plenty of time to score a perfect 300. To be more specific, it translates to each game lasting approximately 10 minutes per person on the lane
6 people or less per lane. If you have more people playing and you are keen to have lanes next to each other, book online here. For all bookings of over 6 people, you will automatically be given 2 side by side lanes.
Yes we do, all our venues have socks for sale. Available in men’s, women’s and kids sizes. One pair costs $9.90.
Bowling shoes are specially made as they allow customers to "slide" when Bowling, helping you hit that strike. It is important that these shoes are worn at all times as the incorrect footwear is a potential safety risk and can damage the approach to the lanes.Â
We range from Toddlers size 6 up to Men’s size 16
Men's bowling shoe sizes are the same as their normal shoes.
Women's bowling shoe sizes are two sizes below their normal shoe size. Example a ladies size 8 is a bowling size 6.

Unfortunately, there are no half sizes.

Our party hosts are there to organise all the fun and entertain the guests during the party. While the party hosts will be with the kids for the duration of their party to guide activities, we recommend that parents, guardians or carers stay close by to supervise for the duration of the party.
A carer is a parent, guardian or adult responsible for supervising the party children and a touch point for Zone Bowling. We recommend that carers are present for the duration of your party. Carers are there to ensure the kids are all in attendance during each activity, escort the kids to the bathroom and ensure they are behaving appropriately in the venue. If there is a problem the Party Host will inform the carers, so it is necessary to remain in the venue to be able to supervise the party.
Depending on the party package you have chosen, Zone Bowling parties are approximately 2.5 hours from start to finish.
Bowling socks are not provided, so please remember to remind your guests to bring their own pair of socks. Alternatively, you can purchase a pair of socks in venue.
We ask that you organise a parent or carer to be available for the duration of your party as a touch point for our hosts – this could be you, your partner, a family member, or friend (anyone attending the party to help supervise the kids).
