    So my friends and I rocked up super close to closing, they had started the process. But still the lovely Dani managed to get us in, despite the fact that they had started to pack up. She gave us the full 5 star experience and was very lovely to talk to. Amazing service. 👍

    My son celebrated his 12th here and we had an absolute blast. From the time we booked our party leading up to the day, the communications were a breeze. Our party host, Ash, was really awesome and she was so easy to work with. She kept us in the loop at all times, 15 energetic boys were kept in check and the whole party went without a hitch. Everyone had a great time. We’d recommend Time Zone for an effortless and fun party any time!

    My daughter had her 8th Birthday here and could not fault! Great package/setup that included bowling, lunch/cake and an hour of Timezone! Kids absolutely loved it. Our host Steph was fantastic!!! Guided and helped our kids through the party seamlessly and made our birthday girl feel so special. Would definitely have another party here again!

    Great and most friendly staff (Tara). The staff here were so friendly to the little one. And during my visit there, she handled so well while an adult with special needs was trying to approach her and give her a hug. Will definitely visit again with my kids.

    Went here with two of us on a Saturday afternoon, we got the mega package for $35 each including 2 bowling games, $20 off cafe food, $10 return tickets and 20 minutes of arcade games. The bowling alleys were nice and comfortable but it was really crowded and noisy the time we went. The cafe was also really busy and took over 30 minutes to deliver our food and drinks. The staff were very helpful and as soon as we told them about our food wait time they were very accomodating, we really appreciated it. The arcade was lots of fun but we didn’t realise that we don’t actually accumulate points that we collected on our 20 mins of arcade time. Very fun nonetheless, highly recommend overall but try come when it’s not packed

    Acceptable bowling alley. Good food, mediocre service. Neon lights, loud music and projector screens ruin any serious bowling, but fun for casual groups! Bowling lanes are well maintained. Follows all COVID-safe practises. EDIT: Neon lights and projector screens are turned off for league/competition sessions, this is specific to practise and casual sessions.

    Awesome place for a party. Our group consisted of kids and teens of all ages and everyone had an absolute blast! Nic was a great host and the party goers loved his energy. Thanks team for facilitating such a fun day!

    Chiara and Mim were the perfect party hosts! They are very organised, friendly and efficient. The party went smoothly and all of the kids loved them. These young women are a fantastic asset to Timezone & Zone Bowling Forest Hill as they created the best party atmosphere - you cannot go wrong having one of these parties. I had different age groups and different needs with the children and nothing was too hard for them to organise. My son has turned 10 and he and the rest of his friends said this was the best party ever! Thank you so much Chiara, Mim and team - keep up the great work!

    The service was good kids really enjoyed the party that they attend , the host NICHOLAS , Behaviour was absolutely unacceptable towards kids . He was rough , rude and was keep yelling and screaming at kids . He needs to learn how to attract with kids specially kids under 8 . Was very disappointed.

  • 5/5 Amiros A. 2 months ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    Tried this timezone first time today, really fun and interesting new games that other timezones might not have. My favorite game is wild west shootout which they had it but I wish they had a dance dance revolution instead of pump it up ☹ not sure if I can request this anywhere, but if they had DDR, it would be the perfect arcade setup for me

    We had a fantastic experience hosting our son's birthday party in forest hill Time Zone! The host, Tonia, was exceptional—responsible, great with kids, and ensured everything ran smoothly and on time. The stress-free celebration allowed us and the kids to thoroughly enjoy the special day. Highly recommended!

    Thank you so much for the wonderful party experience. Kids have had so much fun together with the energetic hosts. Special thanks to Alannah and Piers! Thank you for your super powers from Mars and enlightened our guests dramatically.

  • 5/5 Sreepriya S. 4 months ago on Google
    The kids and the parents had an awesome birthday party at Time Zone, Forest hill. Melvin took care of the kids through the games by keeping the excitement and enthusiasm of the group of 10year old boys in mind. Just shows that he is a natural leader and an amazing host. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Yuan Y. 4 months ago on Google
    The party was very well organised and the kids had a 4 hours fun and they loved it! (we loaded some money to our own Timezone card in advance the so kids can keep playing after the 1hour timed play). Big thanks to Ella who ran the party for us and the kids all enjoyed it so much.

  • 5/5 Rupi K. 4 months ago on Google
    We had a wonderful party for our son’s 11th Bday. Everything was well planned and coordinated. Tara was really proactive with managing all kids and their demands. Even last minute no shows were considered and were not charged for. Everyone had an amazing time. Thanks to Tara and to the whole zone bowling team.

  • 5/5 Bronwyn S. 4 months ago on Google
    What a simple and exciting way of doing a kids party! Very happy with the smooth process, how easy it was as the organising parent and how happy all the kids were. Special shout out to Anna at Forest Hill Zone Bowling for making it a great experience for us all.

    We recently celebrated my daughter's 9th birthday at Timezone & Zone Bowling Forest Hill, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The entire party was a hit, and it was all thanks to the fantastic service we received. A special shoutout to Alexandra, who went above and beyond to make sure the kids had an amazing time. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure every detail was taken care of. My daughter and her friends were thrilled with the party, and it's all thanks to Alexandra's dedication and professionalism. The facility was clean, the games were a blast, and the entire staff was welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend Timezone & Zone Bowling Forest Hill for birthday parties and family outings. We will definitely be back for more fun in the future. Thank you, Alexandra, and the entire team at Timezone & Zone Bowling Forest Hill, for making my daughter's birthday so special!

    I just had my son's 9th birthday party at Timezone and Zone Bowling in Forest Hill Chase and we had a great time! My family and I would like to mention, Kirralee who was our party host. I'd say, she was one of the best party hosts we came across. She captured children's attention with her clear confident and friendly voice. She accommodated and assisted everyone at the party. Thank you so much! I highly recommend the team in Forest Hill for everyone there was happy to assist us and they're very efficient the way they work too (thumbs up to you guys!). We absolutely had an amazing day! Thank you :-)

    Chiara hosted our 12 year old daughter’s bowling and Time zone party, and was an absolute star. So lovely with the kids, and the kids really appreciated her. Keep up the good work!!

  • 5/5 Melina N. 8 months ago on Google
    A huge thanks to the team at Timezone Forest Hill and especially our amazing hosts James, Jess, Kurt, and Georgia for the best, stress-free party ever! They did an amazing job supervising and entertaining 30 six year old kids, while parents got to relax and even enjoy a drink! The venue was fantastic and the kids had a blast with bowling and arcade games. Truly a memorable experience - thank you, party hosts! Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Chujing J. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a great venue for kid’s birthday party. The kids were very enjoyed it. Our hosts (Jacinta and Piers) are friendly and excellent service. Thanks so much.

  • 5/5 Glen E. 9 months ago on Google
    Staff service is great. Place is very clean and tidy. I highly recommend the "mega fun zone pass" opting for 1 game of bowling and 1 game of laser tag and go for the Curly Fries (included in the price via the $10 food voucher) delivered to your bowling lane! My kids were kept busy, fed and entertained for a couple of hours 👍

  • 5/5 ANGIE C. 8 months ago on Google
    We celebrated our daughter's 10th birthday. Tara, our host, was quite helpful and she helped cuts the cake and keep the kids entertained for almost 2.5 hours. Bowling for kids was a lot of fun. Food for the party came on time. But general Cafe service need to be improved in terms of coffee and food taking 45 minutes. Thanks Tara 👏🏻👏🏻

  • 5/5 Ross D. 1 year ago on Google
    Tara was great fun hosting our sons 7th party. Mid week party was great as it wasn’t busy at all. Thanks again Tara and Team.

    Our party host Ella M was wonderful! Lovely smiles, friendly, and took care of all the details (dietary requirements) and made sure all the kids had a great time! I didn’t have to worry about a thing at all for my son’s birthday party. Thanks Ella! ❤️

    Our party host “Chiara “ was so great! Well organised and friendly! It was such a relief to have her hosting our party while we enjoy time with other parents. Kids loved her. Very nice and cool place! It’s worth what you are paying!

  • 5/5 Yesubet C. 6 months ago on Google
    We had our son's birthday party in August and we all had a great time. Christos was a very kind and patient host and overall everyone made sure we were looked after. Great improvement since last year when even though staff did try to do their best, they were well under staffed.

  • 5/5 Cathy 6 months ago on Google
    My child had an amazing and incredible fun birthday party at Timezone bowling Forest Hill. Our party host Jesse did a wonderful job for our group. He is caring, passionate and engaged with all children. Making my child a very special day to remember with his besties. What an unforgettable day for our family!

  • 5/5 Louise N. 6 months ago on Google
    Fabulous from the get go! Nick W and Chiara were terrific in entertaining the kids the whole time and ran the entire party so well. Checked in through the event, no issues at all and plenty of happy and entertained kids. Our son had the best time. Thank you!

    Had an amazing host Cyanne to look after us at my daughters party. Everyone had a blast with her. We had 1 person short for laser tag and she joined the team to make it even, was friendly and helpful. Thank you Cyanne :)

    Kids had a fantastic birthday celebration at Timezone. Our lovely host Alexandara was sure to entertain & keep tabs on everyone. Time management went well & the party was a success! 🥳

  • 4/5 Jingyi G. 6 months ago on Google
    Anna is a wonderful party host. She is passion, responsible and efficiency. In opposite, the host Ruby is impassive the whole time, even talking to the kids. We have some issues about the food. Ruby just forced us to accept her way, is not trying to help us at all. And the way she said to me is rude and left me out there. But Anna is amazing. She understood is my daughter’s birthday. We wish to have the best party for my daughter. Anna is really help us to solve the problem. Luckily we have Anna on the day!

    It’s not our first time having birthday party with zone bowling, and we were satisfied with the party every single time. Ethan had a great birthday party today, and definitely had lots of fun. Tonia is our party host today and she’s very friendly and patient with kids. She helps me a lot with the party and making sure that we have been looked after all time. Definately will come and visit again. Thank you

    I would like to thank Ella G, Steph and Ash for being a wonderful host for Sara’s 6th birthday party on 2nd of March. There was a technical failure and few bowling lanes were frozen in the middle of their play, the kids started to feel disappointment. Ella swiftly jumped in and entertained them with Simon says game which really helped them. All the children had a great time. Thank you so much.

    Time zone with Zac leading the 14 boys and girls into the birthday party was a complete success. Zac is a great host for the both adults and kids. He took care of everything highly recommend time zone as a go to place for kids birthdays but must admit the staff and Zac made it a memorable night for the kids. Thanks Zac and thanks to all the team at forest hill time zone you all were friendly faces no matter who I spoke with felt a warm welcome smile from booking counter to kitchen counter all a lovely team to work with.

😠 Don't ever play the claw machines, it’s a scam. Each claw machine was set to +/- 75x $2.80-$5 / game before it starts to pay out. The claws are often weak and unable to pick up the toy before it pays out. The giant claw machine is advised to be set to 200x that equates to $1000 powercredits for $50...
