What's on Bowling
Get together for a game of ten-pin bowling at Hollywood Bowl and see who can score the most strikes. Whether you're planning a family day out, catching up with friends or organising a group activity, bowling is an easy way to get everyone involved. Choose your bowling ball, take your place on the lane and enjoy some friendly competition from the first roll to the final frame.
Want to knock down more pins? Start by choosing a bowling ball that feels comfortable to hold, keep your eyes focused on your target and take a smooth, controlled approach before releasing the ball. Keep your arm straight as you follow through, and remember that accuracy is often more important than throwing the ball as hard as possible. Put these bowling tips and techniques into practice on the lanes at your nearest Hollywood Bowl.

Everything you need to know before you visit.
Booking online is the only way to guarantee a lane, and at peak times it matters: Friday and Saturday evenings, school holidays, and wet weekends all fill up hours ahead. Walk-ins are welcome whenever we have space, but during those periods we often have none. Booking ahead also means you choose your time slot rather than taking whatever is free when you arrive.
A single game takes around 45 minutes for a group of up to six players, and two games run to about an hour and a half. Larger groups take longer because everyone bowls in turn -- allow roughly ten minutes per player per game as a rule of thumb. Your confirmation email shows an estimated finish time, and there's no need to leave the moment your last frame is done.
Yes. Bumpers can be raised on any lane so nothing ends up in the gutter, lighter balls are available for smaller hands, and ramps let very young children push the ball down the lane themselves. Junior pricing applies to under-16s. Most centres also have amusements, and several have mini golf, so there is something to do between games.
Outside food and drink isn't permitted, but you won't need it. Our Bar & Diner serves a full menu -- burgers, wings, pizza, sharing platters, kids' meals, soft drinks, cocktails and draught beer -- and you can order from your lane and eat while you bowl rather than breaking off. Tell us about allergies or dietary requirements when you book and we'll talk you through the options.
Our VIP lanes are guaranteed to leave you feeling like a star. Set apart from the main bowling area, a VIP lane offers a more private bowling experience with comfortable lounge-style seating. It's ideal for groups who want to sit, eat and enjoy their time together around the lane. VIP can be added during booking for a supplement per person and is subject to availability at your chosen centre. As VIP lanes are limited, we recommend booking in advance, especially for popular dates and times.
Groups of 20 or more, and any corporate booking, are handled by our events team rather than the standard online journey -- they can arrange multiple adjacent lanes, exclusive hire of a centre, bespoke catering, a drinks package and invoiced billing rather than card payment on the day. Use the events contact on your chosen centre page, or the enquiry form on our corporate events page, and they will build the run of the day around you.
