Hollywood Bowl is located within Tower Park, making it easy to combine bowling with restaurants, Splashdown, Lemur Landings or a film at Vue.
Hollywood Bowl Poole is one of Tower Park’s main indoor attractions and has 24 ten-pin bowling lanes. The centre is designed for casual games as well as birthdays, family outings, dates and larger group visits.
The bowling is complemented by an amusement arcade, food and drink, pool tables and VIP lanes, so visitors can easily spend longer at the venue than a single bowling game.
The main attraction is the venue’s 24 bowling lanes.
Games can be booked for individuals, families and groups, with lane barriers and bowling aids helping younger or less experienced players take part. Hollywood Bowl recommends booking in advance because its centres can become particularly busy during peak periods.
Prices vary according to the day, time and offer available, so there is no single fixed admission price. The official website states that booking online in advance gives access to its best prices.
Hollywood Bowl Poole also has a dedicated VIP bowling area.
VIP lanes add more comfortable lounge-style seating and extra touches to the standard bowling experience. Hollywood Bowl currently advertises VIP upgrades from as little as £1 per person per game at participating centres, although the exact price at Poole depends on the booking.
This can be particularly useful for birthdays, date nights and group celebrations.
Bowling is not the only activity available.
The Poole centre has an amusement arcade containing:
Visitors can collect tickets on participating machines and exchange them for prizes, making the arcade particularly popular with families and younger visitors.

The venue also has a licensed bar serving drinks including:
Food-and-bowling packages are regularly available, so checking current offers before booking can be worthwhile.
