DATE NIGHT TO BOWL YOU OVER!

Zone Bowling + Timezone = 10/10 fun.

If the mere thought of the phrase ‘I’m bored’ (honourable mention also to ‘I’m hungry’), is enough to involuntarily send your eyeballs rolling off their very axis, chances are you’ve probably heard it on repeat since (what feels like) the beginning of time, aka every weekend and school holiday in recent memory. It’s a time honoured tradition, children complaining that there’s nothing to do, while parents instantly blank on every fun activity option they’ve ever known.

So we’re here to tell you, #ICYMI one of the Coast’s most tried and true boredom buster destinations recently got a major upgrade meaning more fun for well, everyone. Because if it’s been a while since you last ventured in for a nostalgia fi at the of all-round fun and Surfers icon, Timezone, you might be bowled over to learn that Zone Bowling recently opened right next door #convenient. Already boasting activities galore, with laser tag, glow in the dark mini golf, bumper cars, and more arcade games than you can poke a token at (showing our age), throw in a slick bowling joint and it’s 10’s all round for the actual kids, and the big kids alike.

Which is excellent news for parents, but also for all you fun Aunty’s and Funcle’s trying to win ultimate cool-points with the niblings, through to Gigi’s, Grandads, Godparents and everyone in between. And why let the kids have all the fun, we reckon Timezone has long been underrated as the ultimate date night destination that’s guaranteed not to strike out. Bring the fun back to date nights we say!

Zone Bowling Surfers Paradise boasts 12 interactive bowling lanes decked out with alllll the mod cons in some pretty swanky surrounds, which quite frankly couldn’t be any further from the dungeon-chic bowling alleys of our youth #stillfuntho #corememories.

The spacious, modern dining area is way more luxe than it has any right to be, providing the perfect post or pre game pitstop for friends and fam to gather, kick back and rib each other about their bowling skills (or lack thereof). Thankfully, the fare is every bit as good as we remember, with all the family friendly classics like burgers, loaded fries, pizzas and hot dogs set to go down a treat for all ages. Of course, after working up a thirst, a milkshake or ice-cream spider will go down a treat for the littlies – while the adults can swing by the bar to indulge in a range of delicious cocktails nd the final strike of genius – there’s a range of special passes to choose from, giving guests access to activities across both Zone Bowling and Timezone #gameon. We don’t know about you guys, but we’re suddenly in the mood to play a good old-fashioned game of crocodile whack-a-mole #ow #nowi’mangry.

Who doesn’t love the opportunity to show the young ns how it s done and fle our mad Daytona USA skills.

So for more fun than you can Pac-Man a joystick at, channel your inner Mario Kart and zoom on down to Surfer’s one-stopshop for games, good times, tasty treats and wholesome family fun.
