It is pretty easy to get to, even though it isn't central to anything really with a tram stop "East Didsbury" across the way and a Tesco close by. Unlike most similar centres, I was surprised there weren't many big-name quick-fast food restaurants including the likes of Subway, McDonald's and KFC which would have been handy, but the construction of this place isn't that great anyway as it is quite a good walk from the car park to the complex where the cinema and eateries are. Parrs Wood is summed up by "Meh, I've experienced better", it isn't new anymore as it was built as I recall in around 2011/2012 and is now so generic, lacking innovation and anything which makes this stand out from the crowd. 2*

Well, being a fan of bowling I thought it was about time to visit Tenpin Bowling in Festival Park,…read moreStoke-on-Trent. I've been living in Stoke for 2 and a half years now for academic purposes, but I've never been here. I went with two friends the other day and it cost £6.99 each, for Unlimited Bowling between 12pm and 6pm. In that time I think we must've had about 20 games+, definitely worth the money. The only downside was the quality of the balls. The balls were absolutely horrendous, and what can only be described as the cratering you see on the moon. On the upside, and the reason why I am giving this place 4 stars is because of the staff. They were absolutely magnificent. I've never had customer service like it. They were so outrageously helpful, so enthusiastic and kind. Obviously, we were customers but they made sure everything was fine. Also, we had food whilst we were there and for a bowling alley, it wasn't too bad! This place would definitely have had 5 stars if it wasn't for the quality of the balls.

This is a classic Ten Pin Bowling experience. There's nothing here that's going to surprise you,…read morebut at the same time there's nothing you could reasonably hope to find at a tenpin bowling alley, that isn't offered here. The basics include 26 bowling lanes and 14 pool tables including both American and English tables, which I don't even understand. They have a full bar (crucial) and an American style dodgy diner where you can get a burger and some greasy chips, the perfect accompaniment to a game of ten pin. They also offer something called 'Cosmic Bowling' where all the lights go out and the whole room and all the lanes turn luminous blue with disco lights and spotlights flying around. Wooooooooo. It claims to be bowling with a nightclub atmosphere, which it really is not. But if you want to bowl with loud music and flashing lights then by all means give it a go! There's also a Quazar Lazer shooty gun thingymajog, but that's a whole different game isn't it. I'll stick to the bowling.

When a few of us decide to go, we usually end up at this massive Ten Pin in Didsbury's Parrs Wood complex, mainly because you can get a really good deal if you book ahead online. As you bowl on one of the alley's many lanes, you can have a shimmy to the weird 90s pop videos that play on the screens above. You can also give yourself a bit of Dutch courage by visiting the bar, which offers 4-pint pitchers of Strongbow and Carling. Be warned though, too much will make poor bowling skills even ropier!

All Star Lanes was the location of our company Christmas party back in December; I knew very early…read moreon in the year but, due to our strategy for keeping people excited for the event, had to keep it a secret! The booking process was simple from the beginning and they were clear about technical aspects such as payment terms etc. Although we explained it was a secret event and never to use the landline, they unfortunately did - they also didn't seem to take us off their sales list, meaning we got endless calls about having an event, despite already booking with them! Sigh. They redeemed themselves on the night. Based in the Jungle Room, a leopard carpeted treat, we had two lanes to ourselves and a plethora of food and drinks. We had everything from pigs in blankets to deep fried mac & cheese fritters; these aren't your usual canapes, and they're more than happy to lay on a tasting if you're curious as to what you should serve. Staff knew exactly what was in the cocktails, as requested, and bar service ran fairly smoothly - it did get rather busy once all the pre-bought drinks had gone and people flocked to the bar, but they soon got used to it and kept up! They were also very patient; once we've all had a few, it can get a bit rowdy i.e. people thinking it funny to walk on the actual bowling alley, but noone felt put out at any time and they communicated with as frequently. Great place for any event you might be planning.

I've always loved bowling, even though I suck at it (I blame my weak wrists, not the technique -…read moreha!) And even though I lost 3 games to nil I really enjoyed my afternoon in All Star Lanes. This place is pretty great if you're looking for somewhere fun to go where you can have a few games of bowling, some drinks and eats too. I didn't eat here, although I have heard good things about the food, it was a little early in the day and we had booked Reds True BBQ for dinner so I didn't want to eat too much beforehand. The 3 games of bowling I had here with my friend from London were so much fun! I didn't have the barriers up either..! Yey! But still lost. We drank beer and cocktails for hours and had a blast. Pretty sure anyone who comes here with mates is going to have a fab time!

Well as bowling goes I would rather go the Lady Gaga famous bowling alley in Manchester although…read morethat's not massively kid friendly, this was rather a chaotic carnage experience. Kids everywhere. People sat in your bowing alley who didn't belong. Everyone looking dazed as to what to do and how to work the bowling computer. Also it was Everyman for themselves when it came to your actual bowling ball. People didn't really care or show any respect it was more like survival of the fittest bowling experience. My little lad liked it and one bowl of 10 go's each was certainly enough and for £30 I think it was a steal. For them not us. The best bit was the games you could go on after. Although take £20 one pound coins as each game is a mini fortune. They were fun but over in no time so the excitement fix soon needed replenishing. I'm not sure i will visit again as I think there are better bowling places. Although the is now a five guys across the road and a cinema next door so I would probably visit the complex again

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.
