Cosmic Bowl
Glow-in-the-dark lanes at M&D's
Cosmic Bowl calls itself Scotland's first glow-in-the-dark bowling alley. Its 16 lanes are part of M&D's Theme Park in Strathclyde Country Park, next to the park's Family Restaurant & Bar, and the hall adds air hockey, arcade machines and American pool. A monthly leaderboard lists the top ten scores.
Games cost £7.50 for an adult and £6.50 for a junior, £14 and £12 for two, and £5.50 for each extra game. Youth groups, schools and service users have their own tariffs, such as £4 off-peak games for service users. Bookings are taken by phone (option 4), while the website form is only an enquiry. Lanes open at 11:00 on most days and at 10:30 on Fridays, Saturdays and school holidays; Friday and Saturday sessions run to 22:00.
