Bowling at Planet on Maple Way
Planet, on Maple Way in Newton Aycliffe, treats bowling as one part of a larger offer. Its 12 lanes share the building with a space-themed Laser Quest arena of 2,500 sq ft, a roller rink with free skate hire, a 5,000 sq ft trampoline park with a viewing gallery, axe throwing and a 14-hole crazy golf course.
Bowling prices include shoe hire and change between peak and off-peak: an under-16 pays £9.25 a game at peak or £8.25 off-peak, and over-16s pay £9.95 or £9.25. On Wednesdays from 16:00 to 21:00, outside December, bowling is two-for-one, and on Sunday evenings from 19:00 to 22:00 unlimited bowling costs £15 a head, booked by phone for two to eight per lane. In term time over-50s get two games and a drink for £7.95 on weekdays from 10:00 to 15:00. Ramps make the lanes wheelchair accessible, and bowlers may wear their own fully enclosed shoes.
