They provide a…read moregreat deal of entertainment aside from bowling, with all the arcade machines, pool tables, family fun centre and fully liscensed bar and restaurant. I was pleased with the service at megabowl, as because I have large feet, I often expect to be disappointed when i get there, but nevertheless, they did have bowling shoes in a size 15! Overall, megabowl is a very relaxed, and fun place for all the family. And for the ones of you who want to stay late, it much cheaper if you go after 10 as you often get free games.

Well it's exactly what it says on the tin! it's bowling!…read more It's now actually called tenpin but not much has changed, although now it as it's own Quasar! and if you've never played - have a go! it's so much fun. Basically, what happens is you go in and after a brief training video your fitted with a plastic shield and given a 'laser' gun. (don't worry it's totally harmless!) and then you go into a darkened room (don't wear white as they're are lots of ultra violet lights which add to the atmosphere). you're separated into 2 teams and given a base to guard, the idea is that each team attack the other base and score points which are all recorded and the score is given out to you at the end. You can also shoot each others which renders you unable to fire your gun for a few seconds and scores points for the other team. Not so good for little kids, but great for teenagers and I've seen quite a few stag parties have a go! Back to the bowling - it's tenpin and you can chose to go it alone or have bumpers, there's also the use of cradles for the less able bodied folks and little kids. They have a fully licenced bar aswell, and you can order food and drink to be delivered straight to your bowling lane! easy!

It's great for an evening out. They do have a cafe but I personally feel it's over priced, and we usually go to Pizza Hut after our game instead! This place is pleasant (although very noisy). Apart from just the bowling, they also have a separate section with arcade games and dance mat type games, and my personal favourite, that one where you slide a 2p piece down into a pile of other 2p pieces on a moving ledge in the hope that it will push some of them over the edge and you'll win ooh maybe as much as 10p which you promptly put straight back into the game!

This is more a children orientated place than for adults. The alleys themselves are rather worse for wear and the buffers are permanently set either up or down - more modern alleys have the facility for the buffers to be raised when it is an adult or more experienced bowler taking their turn. I haven't had a game here without a ball or some of the pins getting stuck at some point. Still worthwhile and a lot of fun for the family.

Superbowl is always a good afternoon or evening out. This place has got less exciting since they…read moregot rid of the Laserquest a few years ago, but it's still fun. It's clean, the staff are nice and there are plenty of lanes - a few on the ground level and plenty more upstairs. Unfortunately, though there are lanes on the ground floor, there are a few steps leading down to them from bar seating area, making it difficult to access for people in wheelchairs - Doncaster or Castleford are better for disabled access. The superbowl's got a little bar and a cafe (a wimpy I think) as well as a few video games. It's not in central Wakefield but it's only about 15 minutes walk, there's a bus that goes right past, and it's got its own carpark.I'd recommend going on one of the party, where you get all night bowling with a DJ on and a free basket meal for about £12. Cheesy, but fun.

The only downside is the food..it has a Wimpy..who has a Wimpy any more? Wimpy burgers are strange and soft and I'm scared of them. So eat before you go. Other than that, a great night out for all the family with free parking. Maybe not Superbowl but certainly Fun.

Out in Newcastle this weekend? Don't want to get mortal? Why not skip the pre drinking and go to…read moreLane7? Lane7 is a 1950's American style bowling alley in heart of the Toon. As soon as you walk in the door this place screams character, the friendly staff are all decked out in braces and traditional 50's gear and the basic warehouse décor gives lane7 a real charm. Unfortunately we couldn't get booked in for bowling as Christmas parties dominated the lanes so we opted for an hour of pool on the slick American tables. For one hour we paid £12 which I feel is pretty reasonable. Lane7 offer a table service which means that you can focus on your sport of choice and not waste time queuing at the bar. The bar serves cocktails, spirits and draught beer including hipster drink of choice Brooklyn. They also do food with the restaurant set up like a dining hall. There's a really nice fun atmosphere in lane7, laughter is coupled with crashing ten pins and the back and forth of the ping pong balls. Don't be a turkey, strike the right chord with your mates by directing them to Lane7!

We then moved over to the dining area and we're split into two tables of 6. For starter I had the popcorn squid which was served with pico de gallo and garlic mayo. For mains I went for the Lobster roll served with fries (sweet potato fries also available) and ordered the halloumi salad as an extra side. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Decided to go for a liquid dessert which was the espresso martini. Quite strong but just what I needed to perk me up. One of the girls ordered an Irish coffee...bad move! I think lane 7 need to research their coffees a bit more as their version included baileys and milk. There were a few cock ups with sides arriving late and one of the dishes was more batter than squid but Amy our server sorted the problems quickly. Very friendly and bubbly girl. Bowling was a great way to get the weekend started as we all had a great laugh and some stupid bowling moves pulled. Definitely recommend booking beforehand.

Kaskada Bowling Alley was commonly referred to as 'the bowling alley' and used to be the ultimate…read morehot-spot for college students such as myself. I only actually bowled there a handful of times, but I frequented the place several times a week for many a year. My friends and I would meet there, although looking back, there was little to do. There was twenty lanes for bowling - these are the same as they are everywhere, around £5 a game per player, and up to 4 players playing on one lane. You bowl ten rounds after inputting your name into the computer, and the computer takes great delight in laughing at you when you fail to knock down any pins, or when you manage to aim the bowling ball directly into the centre of the pins, but only knocking down a single one from the back row. It also cheers on the odd occasion you get a strike or a half-strike. The bowling alley is rarely very busy, with maybe 4 lanes being used at any one time, unless it's around the Christmas period where work parties take over the entire row of lanes. In front of the actual bowling lanes there's a games area with shuttle hockey and pool tables, fruit machines and a few ride-on motorbike racing machines. I have frequent memories of the 'Day-ton-ah' tune from a few of the machines from hanging around there so much. Also towards the front of the lanes, against the back wall, there's a small burger bar, and a shop for the purchase of bowling balls, shoes and other little souvenirs. At one end of the bowling alley there's a bar with some comfy leather chairs and the kind of dark-wood decoration popular in many bars today. There's also a terrace in this area. I often wonder what made this place so popular with the teenagers - we weren't allowed in the bar or near the bowling lanes (unless bowling) so were left to hang around the games area, playing pool when we could afford it. I guess it was because it was warm inside - there was nowhere else in Durham city like it.

With 10 minutes we were placed on a lane. 20 minutes later my family and I were told we had to leave as they had double booked us and they were delayed. I was offered a refund. My sons birthday was ruined and after driving for 3 hours to get there as this was the only hollywood bowl with space to book on a Saturday. My 11 year son was so disappointed and was left embarrassed that I had asked family members to travel so far to be removed from the activities through no fault of my own. This was an awful experience and I would NEVER RECOMMEND anyone booking a visit here.

Overall its a nice place, its clean, big, and the staff are nice. There are loads of alleys so you never have to wait, it can just be a bit over priced.
