A standalone bowl in Branksome
Despite the Bournemouth in its name, this centre stands at 382 Poole Road in Branksome, Poole, on its own site, with its own front door, instead of inside a mall. It is a different centre from the Hollywood Bowl at Tower Park, also in Poole, so check the address before setting off. Inside are 24 lanes, plus pool tables and an arcade.
No VIP lanes are listed for Branksome, so all groups share the main floor. The Bar & Diner serves burgers, pizzas and sharing platters straight to the lane. Families can raise the bumpers and use lighter balls or a ramp, and under-16s pay junior prices. Listed offers begin at £11 (student games plus a drink), while parties for children start at £10 a head.
Weekend mornings from 09:00 on Poole Road
