Ten-Pin Bowling Options Across North Shore

How Bowling Alleys Work

Where you bowl on the North Shore depends on the size of the night. Hornsby has The Attic Bowling & Arcade, four augmented reality lanes upstairs at Hornsby RSL Club, while Chatswood and North Ryde have bigger multi-activity venues with bars, escape rooms and laser tag.

In Chatswood, Holey Moley Chatswood runs bowling beside its mini golf on the same level as Strike Bowling Chatswood, at 65 Albert Avenue. Strike Bowling Macquarie covers North Ryde from inside Macquarie Centre.

Matching a North Shore group to its lanes:

  • Kids' birthdays and family functions: The Attic Bowling & Arcade in Hornsby, with packages that bundle games, entertainment and catering
  • Price-conscious bowlers: Hornsby's lanes from $16 per person, shoe hire included, against $22 per person at either Strike
  • Escape room fans: three graded rooms at Strike Bowling Macquarie, from Moonshot for beginners to Forensic for experienced players
  • Golf and bowling in one booking: from $23 per person at Holey Moley Chatswood, with 18 themed holes beside its lanes
  • Big adult nights: either Strike venue, with a cocktail bar, laser tag, karaoke and 10 lanes

Hornsby suits a small, contained outing, while Chatswood and North Ryde suit groups that want to move between activities. All four venues serve food, so nobody has to leave to eat.
