Joining a bowling league at Strike Zone is a great way to enjoy regular play, meet new people, and engage in friendly competition. We host a variety of leagues throughout the week, including daytime, evening, mixed-gender, senior, and junior leagues. Leagues cater to different skill levels, utilising a handicap system to ensure fair competition for everyone. The best way to find a league that suits you is to check our 'Learn & Play' section on this page for general information or, more effectively, contact us directly. Give us a call or send us a message via the contact form, and our team can inform you about current leagues, start dates, and how to sign up as an individual or a team.
While walk-ins are always welcome at Strike Zone Bowling, booking your lanes in advance is highly recommended, especially if you're visiting during peak hours. Peak times typically include evenings (after 5 pm), weekends, and school holidays. Pre-booking is the only way to guarantee that lanes will be available for your group when you arrive, saving you potential wait times. For small groups just wanting a casual game, you can often just show up, but it's best to call ahead to check availability, especially on busy nights. For larger groups, parties, or corporate events, advance booking is essential. You can call us directly or use the online enquiry form on our contact page to make a booking request.

Standard party food often includes classic items like hot dogs, chips (fries), and soft drinks. Many packages also include complimentary party invitations for you to distribute. Options are usually available to add arcade game credits or customise food choices. Visit our 'Events' section for an overview, or contact our events team for detailed package options and pricing.
