About this place

Hollywood Bowl Manchester is a 26-lane ten-pin bowling centre on Ashton Leisure Park, with a dedicated VIP bowling area, an American-themed diner, a bar, and a packed arcade. You can order food and drinks directly to your lane using the QR code on the table, which makes life a lot easier when you've got kids in tow. There's also a leaderboard tracking strikes and scores, which adds a nice bit of friendly competition.

The arcade is a proper highlight for children, with grabber machines, play-for-prizes games, and classics like Space Invaders. Prizes can be redeemed at reception, so little ones have something to aim for beyond the bowling itself. If you fancy a quieter corner, the Hollywood Bar shows Sky Sports on the big screen and serves cold beers and cocktails.

Prices start from £6.20 per game for under-16s and £7.20 for adults, with a family deal from £25.46 per game. Concession rates of around 50% are available for disabled guests, their carers, and seniors on weekdays before 6pm. The centre is fully wheelchair accessible, including the entrance, toilets, and seating, and there's free Wi-Fi throughout.

This is a solid all-ages day out, whether you're coming with young children, teenagers, or a mix of both. Staff get consistently good feedback for being friendly and helpful, and the combination of bowling, food, and arcade means you can easily fill a few hours without needing to go anywhere else. Worth noting that under-18s cannot be unaccompanied after 6pm.
