Tenpin Southampton
Walk-ins on a 36-lane floor
Open to everyone. The operator says the lane count leaves room for walk-ins, though booking is advised at weekends.
Thirty-six lanes in Millbrook
Auckland Road in Millbrook has had a bowling alley for more than 30 years, and the Daily Echo reports it was saved from a plan to turn the site into a builders' merchant before Tenpin refurbished it. With 36 lanes, the operator counts it among its largest venues, and there is free parking on site.
The refurbishment brought much more than lanes. Prison Putt crazy golf starts at £5 a game, four karaoke rooms hold 10 apiece, and the line-up continues with Houdini's escape rooms, laser tag, darts, soft play, table tennis, pool and an arcade. The timetable is simple: 10:00 to midnight every day, school holidays included. Online bowling starts at £5.65 a game, well under the £9.95 listed at many other Tenpin centres.
