Despite Leicester being the 10th biggest city in the UK it strangely seems to be lacking in Tenpin bowling alleys as Hollywood Bowl is one of few in the city. It is located in Meridian leisure area, which is on the outskirts of the city and easily accessible from the M1. Hollywood Bowl is part of a larger leisure complex which also houses a large cinema and a number of well known restraunts including Franky and Benny's and Burger King. Alternatively the Bowling alley has its own fast food restraunt which offers competitive prices and quality on your standard fast-food options, burgers, nachos, etc.
Car parking is never a problem here even at busy times. Bowling is never the cheapest activity but Hollywood Bowl offers good value deals if you are playing multiple games or have a large party. If your work hours allow it or you are a student, coming hear at off-peak times can save you a fortune. The lanes themselves are maintained impeccably and the equipment has always functioned as it should when I have been. It can get very busy here at weekends so sometimes it is advisable to pre-book to avoid waiting. At weekends it is open until 1 am, which is great for night owls like me. There is very little I could complain about, it basically offers everything you could want in a good bowling alley. read more
