My son, daughter, daughter’s partner & I attended Zone Bowling today and we all had a fabulous time. The staff were very friendly and accomodating but a special mention must go to Chris, the venue manager and Oliver. Chris & Oliver made us feel so welcome and ensured my Autistic toddler’s first time bowling, was one to remember. Thank you so very much. We all appreciated being looked after so well...
