Why it's worth checking out
Ballina Tenpin Bowl is a straightforward, family-friendly bowling venue on Clark Street in Ballina, with a mix of bowling, arcade games and casual café facilities. The centre is air-conditioned and has lightweight balls, bumpers and ramps, making it accessible for younger bowlers and people who are new to the sport. A café serving coffee gives groups somewhere to take a break between games.
The venue caters for more than casual visits. It hosts kids’ birthday parties and can be booked for larger events, while regular leagues include a senior competition and a ladies league. That makes it suitable for families, social groups and bowlers who want a more structured way to play. For players looking to develop their game, the on-site pro shop stocks bowling equipment, shoes, balls, bags and accessories, and coaching is available from experienced bowlers and accredited coaches.
Casual bowling is available with shoe hire included, and the centre lists options for one or two games, plus additional games. There is also a website special for two games including shoe hire, with bookings requested by phone. Opening hours listed by the venue are 9am until late from Monday to Thursday, 9am to 11pm on Friday and Saturday, and 10am to 6pm on Sunday. Ballina Tenpin Bowl is at 16 Clark Street, Ballina, in the Byron Bay region.
