Bowling in Shellharbour & Lake Illawarra

How Bowling Alleys Work

Albion Park, south of Lake Illawarra, is where Timezone & Zone Bowling Illawarra has set up its 24 lanes, in a standalone centre at 47 Princes Highway. It pairs tenpin with a Timezone games floor, so a bowling outing can stretch into arcade games, bumper cars and laser tag without leaving the building. Why groups from around the region head there:

Indoors: everything is under one roof, which makes it a fallback when the beach is off
Mixed ages: kids, parents and grandparents can bowl together, with lounge seating between lanes
A licensed bar: at the combined bowling and café counter
Late nights: doors stay open to 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays
Easy arrival: free, accessible parking and a bus stop opposite Rosewood Street

Shoes come from the counter, and socks are on sale for anyone who forgot them.

Kids' birthdays need 10 or more guests, and a host runs them for about two and a half hours.
Group event packages for 15 or more usually take two to two and a half hours.
Two party rooms and a 60-seat area on a raised deck above the lanes take care of food breaks and speeches.
Secure the date with a 50% deposit.

Adding to a game of tenpin

Laser tag rounds last about 20 minutes and suit players six and over who are 110cm or taller.
The Spin Zone's seven bumper cars take riders four and up and at least 112cm tall.
More than 70 arcade games feed a prize shop of plush toys, gadgets and treats.
Allow roughly 45 minutes to an hour for a game with five or six bowlers on a lane.
