1 / 3Hollywood Bowl Bristol Cribbs Causeway
📍 Patchway, South West
Hollywood Bowl at Cribbs Causeway with bumper lanes for children, arcade games, birthday party packages, free parking, and pram access. Staff receive consistent specific praise for helping first-time young bowlers.
I went to Hollywood Bowl in absolute horrific pain and my mates were holding me up. I didn't bowl.. Manny,Ellis and Aimee really helped me. Manny was my runner and Ellis would get him for the card machine. It was such a good day albeit under horrendous circumstances. I would have left because I couldn't walk to the bar. Manny even got me a drink by the bar and with a phone on 1% he said as my husband was in the building he would let me have a drink if my phone died and then speak to my husband for payment. Manny and Ellis were up and down like a yo-yoyo. I told Manny about my pain. He was worried about whether I needed a medic and said I am here for anything. Aimee helped me be distracted and gave me the qr code. It is in a safe place but I never get round to doing it.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
An excellent choice for introducing children to bowling — the staff here actively help toddlers and first-timers rather than just setting up lanes and stepping back. Bumper lanes suit ages 3 and up. Weekends are busy with families, so morning slots give younger children more space. The arcade keeps older siblings occupied between games.

“Went for my sons third birthday, just family members and it was great. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. It was his first time bowling and will all be going on a regular basis now.”

“Good place to take the kids for bowling on the edge of Bristol. Arcades were good as well. Staff were friendly and place was pretty clean.”

“We visited bowling after work on a weekend with some colleagues. We had lots of fun in the facilities were okay. Please expect it to be very busy and full of kids. It’s good to also know it’s not just bowling, but it has a couple of other machine/games that kids can play on. Some of our drinks while ordering through our lane took more than 15 minutes to arrive but it was extremely busy.”
