    Perfect venue for a 12 year old boy's birthday event. We took the 2-hours bowling package with 20 minutes use of the arcade games, and a 600ml bottle of drink for $29. The boys had tremendous fun, and we followed up with a more "peaceful" dinner in the RSL next door. All staff were really helpful, and when our bowling lane broke down they were quick to fix it up. It's not somewhere for a quiet chat and a drink (though you can get a glass of wine or a beer there), but was exactly what the boys enjoyed. 10/10

    Unfortunately, over the past month, I've had three instances where I encountered different staff members displaying rudeness, significantly diminishing my overall enjoyment. The consistent experience of encountering discourteous behavior from various individuals is disheartening and leaves me questioning the overall atmosphere at Timezone. This is particularly disappointing because the facilities themselves are great.

    What a lot of fun this place is... it has bowling, laser tag and an arcade game section. There is something for everyone. Great family day out.

    We booked a package of lanes and arcade access for my 12yo daughter's birthday. The 7 party girls had a great time over two lanes and the rest of the family enjoyed our games next to them. The kids also loved the dogems. Ordering food and drinks from the lanes was easy with the QR based system. The quality of the snacks and drinks were really good. Things were really busy and the snacks arrived in a timely fashion but there were a few wrinkles with drink delays but the staff handled it all in good humour . One can measure a place by how well such wrinkles are handled. The we threw them a curve ball with wanting a place to do (our) cake at the end and the floor staff and the manager handled it all perfectly and found us a table to use. We (the parents) left having had an enjoyable afternoon with no tidying up to do and the key measure was that the birthday girl had a great party. Thanks everyone at Zone Bowling Dee Why.

    Good variety of games but most are quite expensive. My only disappointment is that it is hard to find staff to serve you for the Timezone section. But when you do find someone to help they are very quick to fix a jam or reload your card. The venue is accessibility friendly and you can play most games easily. Parking is great as it's under the Dee Why RSL. Well presented prize area but I haven't redeemed my tickets for anything yet.

    We had Anika and kierra as hosts and they were so lovely, organised and amazing with the 20+ kids. For young girls, they did a brilliant job. The venue was great and the party was really good. Bonus that it wasnt busy so there was lots of space for the kids.

    The host was great with our 9 boys. My friend and I had a drink while the boys ran wild. This is the place to be if you would like a stress free birthday party for your preteen

    Attended a birthday party over the weekend and absolutely can’t recommend enough. Party hosts, Brooke & Ame were both incredible! So kind and patient with a bunch of rowdy 10 yo boys! Both a huge asset to Zone Bowling!

    Great venue for a 13-year old girl birthday party. The package was good value and everything was included. Our host Alexxa was friendly and took care of everything. Thank you!

    My daughter and her friends had a brilliant time at her 8th birthday! So much fun! Our party host was disappointing however, nice but didn't engage with the children at all and wasn't around very often. Wasn't worth the extra cost for a party host when my husband was the one doing most of the entertaining. Food is average.

    Had my son’s birthday party here today and had Vlad as our party host. He was fantastic. He remembered all the guests names and was really patient with a bunch of wild 8 year old boys… He was well organised and very efficient… thanks Vlad

  • 5/5 Chris B. 1 year ago on Google
    Our hosts Anika and Molly were amazing. Thirteen 11 year old boys - not a problem. Everyone had an amazing time

    Thanks to the whole Zone Bowling team for making my 7 year old daughters birthday an amazing party! Luka was a fantastic host, looking after all the details and making sure all the kids had a great time. From bowling, bumper cars, games and food, the kids had a ball! Thanks team, highly recommend.

    We had my daughter’s 10th birthday at Timezone Dee Why yesterday. The kids had a fantastic time. They loved the bowling, bumper cars & games. The bumper cars were the best. When you book a birthday party they allocate a host from staff to look after you. Ruby, our host, was amazing and went above & beyond to make Immy’s day special. Making sure all the kids were happy and all our questions were answered. Right down to making the birthday cake & decorations that we brought with us look gorgeous! In my daughter’s words, she “Slayed!”. I highly recommend the Timezone birthday party.

    Fantastic party!! No fuss. Super easy and heaps for the kids to do. Our host Morgan gets 5 stars. She was awesome. Thank you

    Ame & Ava were absolutely amazing hosting our Son’s 7th birthday party. They were super attentive and made sure that the more reserved kids were engaged and felt part of the group. Our son felt really special as the Birthday Boy and the whole celebration was fantastic. Thanks Ame & Ava - you guys rock!

    Jas H did an awesome job organising 15 9-year olds for my son’s birthday. Everything went very smoothly and I hardly had to do anything. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a kids party idea.

    I was at zone bowling with the boys today, and overall we had a great time. We did the bumper cars and played the games. The alleys were all booked out, but we had so much fun doing other stuff it didn’t matter. The reason for only 4 stars is our lunch experience. We waited 40 minutes for lunch. Again, not a huge deal as the place was super busy and the food is proper tasty. However, they forgot the boys milkshakes. The guy apologized, and accidents do happen. All good. What wasn’t so good was he then took another half an hour to make the shakes while I stood waiting (I didn’t have a buzzer by now so felt I needed to wait). There was zero urgency in anything he did. He took so long the whipped cream was melting and running down the side of the glasses; dripping all over the place as I took them back to the table. Gee it was a mess. Given the poorness of that service, it’s testament to how good everything else was that I still give it a genuine 4 stars.

    I love bowling and so does the entire family so we thought it would be a great time to have some family bowling bonding and it was nice and fun however the lane we were in kept glitching the pins were not comedown properly some times they didn’t come down at all they had to reset the lane multiple times, the person on the counter was giving us attitude about it. It just wasn’t a really great experience and we were all disappointed we usually love bowling there the lane should not have been operating obviously some maintenance was needed and it wasn’t fair that we had to deal with all of that

    Went for 8th birthday party. Kids had an excellent time. Very well organized. Vlad and Amelle were great. Can highly recommend

    Alexxa was a great host, my son and his friends had a wonderful party at zone bowling and the little gifts and thoughts were a hit with the kids.

  • 1/5 Tara H. 8 months ago on Google
    I am writing to express my deep disappointment regarding the party we hosted at Zone Bowling Dee Why on Sunday, 8th October, for my daughter's 8th birthday. Regrettably, our experience was far from what we had hoped for and expected. We had been advised to arrive early to meet with our host and set up for the event. Our guests were scheduled to arrive around 10:45 AM, and we arrived promptly at 10:30 AM. Unfortunately, our host was nowhere to be found, and we had to approach several staff members to locate her. She finally arrived just moments before our first guest, creating an uncomfortable situation as we had to discuss event details in front of them. Throughout the event, we encountered several issues that marred the experience: * Delayed Bowling: The children had to wait for an additional 15 minutes because all the lanes were occupied. This delay disrupted the planned schedule and added unnecessary waiting time for the children. * Food Service: When the bowling session concluded, we expected the children's food to be ready and set up on their tables. However, the children had to wait for an extra 15 minutes before their food arrived. Additionally, we encountered issues such as missing cups and napkins, forcing us to visit the front desk multiple times to rectify the situation. Furthermore, condiments were not provided at the table, and we had to retrieve them ourselves. * Cake Service: We had requested that the cake be served immediately after the meal. However, there was a delay in bringing out the cake, and when it was finally served, it was done in an unhygienic manner, with the host using her hands to scoop cake onto plates. This was unacceptable, and we had to intervene and cut the cake ourselves. * Timezone Cards: After cake-cutting, we were provided with Timezone cards for the children to enjoy the games. Unfortunately, there was a delay in card activation, leading to frustration among the children and their parents. Additionally, we were not informed that certain machines were not covered by our party package, resulting in an embarrassing situation in front of other parents. I want to emphasise that my family has hosted numerous parties for our two children over the past eight years, but this experience stands out as the most disappointing and unpleasant one. When investing in an event of this nature, we anticipated a higher level of service and professionalism. I sincerely hope that you will take our feedback into consideration and make the necessary improvements to ensure that other families do not encounter similar issues in the future. It is my belief that no one should have to endure such a disheartening experience, especially when celebrating a special occasion.

    Ava was wonderful with our 10 boys, very organised and easy way to celebrate a birthday, thank you!!

  • 5/5 Zac S. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a fantastic Birthday party for our boy! The whole event ran very smoothly and all the kids had a blast. Our host Laura was sensational. Super friendly, helpful and made sure everything ran perfectly. A great experience was had by all (especially the Birthday boy)! :-)

  • 5/5 Alyne R. 3 years ago on Google
    I organised a biryhday catch up with friends (12 adults, 30+ years old) here and we all have such a great time!! We got to play bowling, arcade games and laser tag! Everyone LOVED IT!! We couldn't stop talking about it and how much fun it was! It felt like going back to be kids!! The staff here were quite friendly and helpful too! I would highly recommend for any age! Just make sure u book in advance because it gets busy quite quick!

    Great place for a lot of fun had a great time. But is on the expensive side

  • 2/5 Alberto J. 3 years ago on Google
    Great set-up for kids to have loads of fun. The issue is the noise level... 'deafening'! Really ought to put some sound absorbtion material in the games room and look after our childrens hearing.

  • 5/5 steve e. 3 years ago on Google
    Super cool venue, Dee Why RSL members get discounted play

  • 3/5 Martin B. 5 years ago on Google
    Good venue for locals (especially kids) on the Nth Beaches for 10 pins. The food is as per any bowling ally, no surprises. The noise is pretty incredible - like any bowling alley. Good wet weather option for families. The alley is on the small side so wise to reserve a lane up-front as the drop in and play may end in a wait.

  • 5/5 Lisa N. 1 year ago on Google
    Great night bowling for my daughters 14th Bday! Took her and friends to dinner and after decided to see if we could get lucky with a lane at Zone Bowling . Luckily there was a cancellation so we asked the staff members Chris and Matthew whom both were so helpful and lovely going through all the rules with my daughter and her friends.

  • 1/5 Chris M. 1 year ago on Google
    WORST FOOD EVER, family of 5 spent $200 to get the worst hot dogs. So disappointing, we were so looking forward to a great hot dog and bowling. Bowling was great!

  • 5/5 V B. 2 years ago on Google
    Looks amazing after the renovation! Very affordable bowling prices!

  • 5/5 Daren R. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a lovely time and the staff were remarkably welcoming. Noah in particular was the most kind genuine staff member I've had the pleasure of interacting with. He'd be well deserving of a promotion, if not a few...

  • 5/5 Isaira R. 1 year ago on Google
    My daughter and her friends had an amazing and fun time there. For sure she will want to repeat her party in your place next year.

  • 5/5 A K. 1 year ago on Google
    My son turned 6 just a few weeks ago, and he was desperate to have his party at Zone Bowling as all his friends had thoroughly enjoyed their birthdays there. So I decided to give it a try. And it’s safe to say I was not disappointed!! They provided us with delicious meals and our party host, Caitlan F, was a fantastic host and definitely helped make my sons birthday extra special. The venue was clean and accommodated any needs we had and I’m definitely going to be recommending Zone Bowling to my friends and family!!

  • 5/5 Jo C. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing vibe! Striking venue. So much to do. Food was yummy and well priced. Staff all very helpful and friendly. Kids absolutely loved it. And I had a sneaky wine or two. Highly recommend. Love that it’s open late too.

    We held our son's birthday at Zone Bowling Dee Why and kids had a fantastic time! It was well worth the money and filled the whole afternoon. Our host Gemma was amazing and helped make the day fun and easy. We were fortunate to have her. We can't wait to come back and do it all again. Zone Bowling Dee Why Rocks!!!

    Perfect for family fun, two options bowling or arcade (or both!)

  • 5/5 Tammy H. 1 year ago on Google
    Lex was awesome, very patient considering looking after fourteen 8 year old boys. Oscar enjoyed his party and it was great for me too! Thanks

  • 1/5 Sherwin R. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely would not recommend this place for events. They assigned a birthday host who was totally incompetent, communicated poorly, and spent more time hanging out with boys rather than attending to my birthday party. Plenty of staff here, but they are much more interested in chatting with each other whilst they ignore paying customers who stand in front of them as if they were invisible. Only positives are the excellent facilities and ample car parking.

  • 5/5 Alexandra C. 1 year ago on Google
    I went to zone bowling on the weekend with my children. They had non-stop fun times and we will be coming back soon. Bella T was very helpful at the front desk and made our experience very easy and fun. Would recommend to anyone with kids

    Ava was extremely nice and warming to me and my birthday crew. I will say she was with us all the time but told her I would take the reigns if she wanted or needed to do something which resulted in the manager having a go at her which I thought was completely wrong. That being said I would love to have Ava again for my babies birthdays.
