You be ballin’ at this boujee bowling alley


Get bowled over at the Paradise Centre these school holidays as the brand new Zone Bowling opens its doors with 12 all new INTERACTIVE lanes that let you customise the display of your alley and shoot flames from your ball as it rolls toward the pins.

Enjoy a full Ten Pin Bowling sensory experience with; glow-in-the-dark lanes, drop down video screens, laser lighting, fully licensed bar, the latest arcade games and complete function facilities for corporate events and birthdays.

To celebrate the opening, from 20-23 January, you will have the chance to get your hands on some BOWLING BUCKS in the cash grab machine filled to the brim with Zone Bowling gift cards and cool merchandise!

Be among the first in line at 11am, 12pm and 1pm at the giant cash grab machine in centre court (on the ground level near Celebrity Ink) for your chance to grab Zone Bowling bucks winning you a $50 Zone Bowling gift card. Careful though…the machine is filled with bogus bucks so get ready to go, go, go and grab as many bucks as you can before the timer runs out!

If you do strike out (and not in a good way), everyone is a winner with runner up prizes up like $10 Paradise Centre gift cards and sweet merch. Game on!

Add some yum to the fun with a visit to the snazzy cafe and bar serving up a range of pizzas, nachos, hot dogs, burgers (and beers).Whether you’re coming to Zone Bowling for a night out with the fam, on a date, with your friends, or riding solo, their epic new menu has something for everyone including an affordable feed for your little ones.

Plus, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for their fabulous roving entertainment including Paradise Centre’s very own Beau the Budgie dressed up in his best bowling attire.

Once you're all bowled out, head next door to the world’s largest timezone and let the good times roll with your favourite arcade games, laser tag, glow in the dar mini-golf or bumper cars.

Once you are all gamed out, be sure to head for some shopping! With over 90 storers, you'll find interesting shops to explore, with everything from beach, swim and resort wear to funky fashion and carefree casual all under one roof.

For your convenience, Paradise Centre offers a Woolworths supermarket, Australia Post and is open until late each evening. Undercover parking is available off Hanlan Street.
