Bowling in Chatswood

How Bowling Alleys Work

Chatswood's bowling is concentrated on a single floor: level 4 of the Mandarin Centre, where Strike Bowling Chatswood and Holey Moley Chatswood both run lanes. Strike is the lane-focused one, with 10 lanes, while Holey Moley is built around 18 themed holes of mini golf and runs bowling beside them.

Bowling on the same floor as escape rooms, laser tag and karaoke means a group can rotate through several games without heading back down to the street.

Choosing between the two Albert Avenue venues:

Strike Bowling Chatswood: 10 lanes, two escape rooms, laser tag, two karaoke rooms and an outdoor terrace, from $22 per person
Holey Moley Chatswood: bowling plus two mini golf courses, interactive darts and the Caddyshack cocktail bar, from $23 per person
Packages: both run hosted party packages with shared pizza and fries and a drink on arrival
Build your own: either venue lets a group mix activities, food and drinks into a custom package
Age rules: ID is needed for anyone at Strike appearing under 25, and Holey Moley has evening cut-offs for under-18s

Get your car park ticket stamped upstairs and the first three hours cost nothing. Chatswood Station is close by too.

Shoes are supplied, though your own closed-toe, flat-soled shoes are allowed
The entry-level package gives a one-hour party: a game, pizza and fries to share, a host and a drink on arrival
Longer two-hour packages layer on finger food and drinks packages
Teens have their own packages, and a second game or a round of laser tag can be added
