Schools can also book the venue for a sports afternoon that every kid is sure to love. It’s Gold Coast bowling at its best.
Tweed Tenpin
Tweed Heads
Tenpin is the place to bowl on the Southern Gold Coast, with a fit-out of full size, 18 metre lanes that allow you to bowl like a pro. The pin setting machines feature free falling pins, meaning it’s a true no-strings-attached kind of deal. That’s what we call quality Gold Coast bowling at a great price. You can trust the kids to have some fun on their own with all lanes fully supervised, and social time is a must with the league competition catering for everyone from beginners to the serious pros. If you want some spectator action, head to one of Tenpin’s regular tournaments and events to cheer on the Queensland teams as they battle it out.
