Bowling in Melbourne's Eastern Suburbs

How Bowling Alleys Work

Bowling in Melbourne's east happens at Strike Bowling Eastland, up on level 3 of the Eastland shopping centre at 171-175 Maroondah Highway, Ringwood. Eight lanes share the floor with a cocktail bar and a kitchen, which means a birthday crew or a work team can play, eat and drink without changing venues.

What a bowling booking at Eastland can take in:

Lanes – eight in total, priced from $22 per person
Adult packages – eight guests or more, beginning with an hour and a single game
Kitchen – pizza, burgers and share plates, with finger food on the upper-tier packages
Drinks – house beer, wine, cider and soft drinks for one or two hours on the larger options
Extra games – three private karaoke rooms and a pair of escape rooms in the same venue

Children's parties are on offer as well, for ten guests or more. Under-18s have a curfew – 9pm from Sunday to Thursday, 8pm on Friday and Saturday.

The entry-level package keeps it simple: one hour on a lane and one game for eight or more
Step up a level and a host looks after a reserved area for the group between frames
Finger food comes with the bigger packages, chosen from a set list
Anyone in the venue after 8pm needs valid ID, so let guests know before the night

When the bowling's done

Spellbound and Four Kingdoms, the two escape rooms here, make a second round of competition
The cocktail bar works as the meeting point when the group splits across games
For children, party packages start at ten guests and wrap up before the under-18 cut-off
