Hollywood Bowl Inverness
A new centre for the Highlands
Hollywood Bowl reached the Highlands in April 2025, spending £3.1 million on an 18-lane centre at Inverness Retail Park. It was the group's sixth venue in Scotland and is its most northerly in the UK. The lanes use scoring screens with leaderboards, and the arcade is cashless, topped up through the Tigapo app, stocked with Mario Kart, air hockey and racing machines.
Pool tables and a bar showing live sport complete the building. Hours are simpler than at most centres: the lanes close at 23:00 every night, with no extra-late Friday or Saturday sessions, and open at 10:00 Monday to Friday, an hour earlier on Saturday and Sunday. At the launch the operator recommended booking online a week ahead for the best prices, and said visitors could wear their own flat, closed-toe shoes instead of hiring a pair.
