Hollywood Bowl Lakeside

Lakeside, Thurrock, Essex · RM20 2ZP

IndoorMixed groups4-6 · 7-9 · 10-12 · 13+

Hollywood Bowl's kids' and teens' packages are the classic indoor birthday: lanes, a meal, squash or a fizzy drink, and a member of staff who has hosted this exact party fifty times this month. It suits roughly five to fifteen, with a separate teens package when the guest list has outgrown nuggets. It does not suit toddlers. Lakeside shopping centre parking is vast and slow to leave. Meet at the bowl, not at 'the food court'.

Parking

Retail and leisure parks are easier than high streets, but party hour is when everyone else has the same idea. Name the centre and a car park in the invitation.

Food and drink for the adults

Most bowls have a bar and a food menu, so adults can eat something that is not a nugget. On the standard kids' package the meal is served at the lane; ask if you wanted a separate table for grown-ups. Do not assume alcohol is appropriate just because it is sold — read the room, and the other parents.

Good to know

Minimum numbers are real, often around six children. Teens packages live on a sister page if the guest list is 11–15. Shoe hire is included in the bowling; socks are not optional. The national page asks you to pick this centre when you book.
