Great Bowling alley, easy and quick to order drinks to our seats. Arcade of games for Β£1 or Β£2 with favourites such as air hockey. Lots of young people of course who were very rude and disrespectful to the space which does unfortunately ruin some of the experience.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

The activity variety at Tenpin Coventry is genuine β€” bowling, laser tag, soft play, and arcade keep different age groups occupied simultaneously, making it a strong option for mixed-age family groups. Food should be treated as secondary to the activities rather than a planned part of the visit, given the consistent service reports.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Pre-book bowling and laser tag online β€” walk-in queues on busy days are long
⏰Skip the on-site food and eat before or after β€” service and quality reports are consistently poor
🎟️Check the expiry dates on any sweets won from arcade prize machines
πŸš—Parking overflows on busy days β€” the nearby cinema and Tesco areas are used as overflow

β€œVery busy although it was school holidays. However with the addition of a soft play area and increased customers the parking g is limited and you may have to park in other areas such as cinema or tesco (not sure if your allowed to park in these areas) We had pre booked food, had to chase up the order as people who arrived after us had their food come before us, however when made aware it was quickly rectified. All in all the kids had a fun time. Music was good but not so loud you couldn't hear each other. There are lots of other things to do there too. Escape Rooms, Pool, Electronic Darts, Soft Play, Laser Tag, Arcade with ticket wins, Bar, Big screens with sports and I'm sure I've missed some bits. Also reasonable for the price. We payed Β£40 for up to 6 people to bowl for an hour and a 12" margarita pizza.”

β€œI recently visited Tenpin Bowling Coventry and, while we initially had an enjoyable experience using the arcade machines, playing pool, and bowling, I feel compelled to raise a serious concern regarding the prizes won on-site. Unfortunately, some of the sweets we won were clearly past their expiration date. This was extremely disappointing and, quite frankly, unacceptable. Food safety should be a basic standard in any leisure venue, particularly one that caters to families and young people. Selling expired products raises significant concerns about stock rotation, quality control, and overall attention to customer wellbeing. Consuming expired confectionery could potentially result in illness, especially for children or individuals with allergies or sensitivities. It is worrying to think about what might have happened if someone had consumed more of the product before noticing the date. Situations like this could easily damage customer trust and the venue’s reputation if not addressed properly. While the entertainment facilities themselves were enjoyable, the issue with expired food considerably overshadowed what should have been a straightforward, positive visit. I strongly urge management to review their stock management procedures to ensure this does not happen again. I hope this matter is taken seriously and resolved promptly.”

β€œGreat updated facilities since the refurb HOWEVER... Staff and service have gone way down hill since the refurb, been 3 times since the refurb and every time no matter what you ask for it seems a chore for the staff and you're met with a huff or a funny face like they can't be bothered,customer service is non existent... The staffing on the bar isnt very good either with long queues and only 1 person serving at busy periods, a conversation with the manager then all the staff came out of nowhere, if you order on the app when it's busy you can be sure you'll be left till last as they don't have the staff to do the orders. Today because the person in the kitchen was busy 2 members of staff had a conversation over me whilst I'm stood at the bar about whether to sell food or not to me, when they decided they could a lot was out of stock including drinks... Will definitely be using another venue going forward until staff issues improve.”

Overview

Ten-pin bowling lanes alongside an arcade with air hockey and ticket-redemption games, soft play facilities, and laser tag sessions β€” all bookable online. The venue recently underwent a refurbishment that upgraded the soft play and facilities. Food is served on-site with pre-booking available. Food quality and service consistency have drawn significant criticism post-refurbishment, with reported long waits, incorrect orders, and undercooked items.
