Bowling in North Ryde

How Bowling Alleys Work

Bowling in North Ryde means Strike Bowling Macquarie, on Level 3 of Macquarie Centre opposite Event Cinemas. Being inside one of the northern suburbs' biggest shopping centres makes it an easy meeting point for groups coming from Ryde, Epping, Macquarie Park and around. The venue is spread over two levels with 10 lanes, a laser tag arena, private karaoke rooms, three escape rooms and a cocktail bar with a kitchen, so one booking can keep a whole party busy for the night.

What to know before you go:

Getting there: the Metro stops at Macquarie University, about five minutes' walk from the venue. Macquarie Centre parking is via Herring Road or Waterloo Road, with the first three hours free.
The experience: bowling is the anchor, with laser tag and escape rooms to add. The escape rooms are Moonshot for beginners, Jailbreak at medium difficulty and Forensic for experts.
Group size: packages are priced per person, and the escape rooms take 2 to 6 players each, so larger groups can split across activities.
Booking lead time: book party packages ahead, particularly for weekend nights and the work Christmas party season.
Food and drinks: the kitchen serves pizzas, burgers, share plates and snacks, and packages add shared food, finger food and beverage packages.

Bowling starts from $22 per person. The Let the Good Times Roll package at $52 per person covers an hour with a game of bowling, pizza and fries to share, a party host and a drink on arrival. It works for birthdays, hens and bucks nights, work Christmas parties and team outings where not everyone wants to do the same thing, and teen packages from $40 per person cover younger birthdays.
