Reviews
First time bowling in ancaster leisure. Friendly staff and an amazing atmosphere. Came here with my partner my brother and his nephew. Definitely will come again soon.
Shannon
Great place. Came here for a friend’s 30th and given the current situation everything was really well done and planned. Definitely great fun although not the fastest circuit I’ve raced at but definitely value for money.
Julian Garwood
Highly recommend. Staff are amazing and very professional. Safety is top notch. Great day out with the family. If you have time spend the day, you will not regret it.
Adventure Republic
Fantastic day, fantastic staff. Well priced food and drink. Great for adults and children.
Ordered a coffee for PS3 and then at the machine changed my mind and asked for tea bag. The girl refunded me PS1 without even asking!
Lots of fun
