This is a newly opened 18 lane bowling alley with a restaurant and bar area and a small but…read moreentertaining arcade area. It's really modern and is the first bowling centre in Ireland to offer the BESX bowling system which has lots of features, Games and huge quality art graphics. The arcade area has various ride on games, basketball shooting, Teddy grabbers, air hockey and pool. They also have computer rooms with loads of xbox's hooked up to flatscreens for birthday parties and private hire. Theres a simulator screen for football, golf etc but both times I've been it has not been on which is disappointing. The majority of the arcade games dispense tickets based on the number of points you score and these can then be taken to a prizes counter and depending on how many tickets you collect you can win anything from haribo to coffee mugs to skateboards and kids toys etc. The centre is situated beside the leisure centre, cinema and lots of different restaurants/cafes so there's plenty to entertain the kids and the adult kids too. Not a bad spot to spend a rainy day.

Firstly a note on the centre as a whole - with lots of attractive indoor facilities it's a fantastic place to take kids (I was with my nephews) and there's loads for them to do and for you to spend your money on. In my opinion the reception area could do with a revamp, no matter how good the facilities are it's your first impressions that count. Xtreme Bowling is like normal bowling but coupled with UV lights and loud top 40 chart music - these two added elements make it feel more like an under 18's disco. There are 20 lanes although I'd advise booking in advance as when we attended we got given the last lane. It cost's £19.50 for four people (family pass) and I'd say it's well worth the money! There's an in house DJ who comes around giving out spot prizes to kids which is a nice touch. If you're not too good at bowling or have young kids they will put the buffers up and provide you with a ramp so it really is suitable for all ages and abilities. My nephews seemed to enjoy it but they didn't once mention the UV lights which I thought would have been the major talking point. All in all it's a good complex and a nice twist on regular bowling.

So I was delighted to know that this bowling place had small shoes for my daughters age group and also stands to help her play. They also put bumpers up for her!!!! She loved every minute of it and I would recommend this to any parent looking something different to do with there kids. Great family fun for the winter times that ticks every box, food, drink, games, music and of course bowling. :)

This brought me back to my childhood. I was taken bowling back home with my brother and my uncle…read morewhen I was little and my uncle told me all of the various ways that it was possible to get hurt in bowling, even telling me a story about a friend swinging the ball back and smashing someone in the face... Needless to say that was the last time I went bowling. I wasn't going to risk my life! I'm not stupid!.... But many years later, after getting over my fear of being hit with a bowling ball in the face, I went down during the day with my girlfriend. There was only a handful of people about so ask I broke into my stride and bowled a record score, there was no one else to witness it apart from my girlfriend who 'claims' it never happened... Never the less I won all three games! Upstairs is a wee arcade type area which is a great place to bring children, but can often attract the hoodlum crowd which seems to be drawn towards this sort of place. With food and drink available in the building as well, you are guaranteed to find something to give you pleasure... even if there is no one there to witness and confirm your record score

Oddly enough, we rarely went bowling though... I don't think the place has changed too much. There are just new teenagers hanging out in it now instead. In fact, I went bowling with my nieces a while ago, and the place literally looked exactly the same. However, despite the fact that it's run-down and maybe a bit irrelevant, I hope the Sportsbowl stays. It' a much a part of Glengormley as the Movie House, or the wonky Christmas tree!

As well as the glow in the dark bowling alley there is also a cafeteria area where you can grab a bite to eat. There is plenty of amusements to keep the little ones amused not to mention their go cart track which i wouldn't mind checking out myself as the kids all seem to love it! There is also an adults section with a variety of machines to keep the little kid in you entertained. Overall great for young and old alike! If you live local its worth trying out

You even get some tokens for playing a few of the games afterwards in the games area but be warned, there are not many machines that take the tokens (we usually use the air hockey and the TT Race machine) and nothing in the kidddie games area. You can sit and watch as you eat in the cafe area or take your food/drink to your bowling table. They are not strict about changing into bowling shoes and don't usually offer a pair, so wear soemthing sensible on your feet.

The place is very small, offering only four courts with a club house and then one bowling green with another club house. I do remember when it used to only have two courts. The courts themselves are very nice and well maintained. They offer a tennis team, ladders, leagues and tournaments for kids and adults. The clubhouse for the bowling green has a pub in it and they have club events there and discos. The staff can be very strict about dress and letting non members play. It is a great little community but the place is tiny, so its worth reserving a court during peak times.
