Hollywood Bowl Worthing – Bowling, Games & Treats
Searching for ‘family activities near me’? Bowling is a sure fire way to keep both kids and adults happy.
At Hollywood Bowl, we’ve got lanes with ramps and not-so-heavy balls to make it super easy for younger kids to join in too. Plus, there’s arcade games, air hockey and pool tables when you’re done with bowling.
Hungry? You can feast on burgers, hot dogs and sharers, plus sweet treats and drinks too. What an ideal way to spend a rainy day!
Soft Play and Trampoline Centres
For little ones with big energy, soft play centres are a lifesaver. Let them burn off steam on climbing frames, slides and ball pits while you enjoy a breather. Trampoline parks are great for older children who want to bounce, flip and fly, all safely indoors.
Cinemas and Indoor Entertainment
You can’t go wrong with a good film. Grab some popcorn and settle in. Many cinemas even offer kids’ family deals, making it a budget-friendly choice too.
Leisure Centres and Swimming Pools
Let the kids make a splash at one of Worthing's swimming spots. Indoor pools in Worthing often have family swim sessions, learner pools and sometimes even flumes, perfect for keeping everyone active when outdoor plans are rained off.
