Zone Bowling Cross Road (solo trip)
How Solo-Friendly is Zone Bowling Cross Road?
What makes it 70% Solo-Friendly: A solo traveller can buy one game, join a league, or explore arcade titles at their own pace; loud group atmosphere and fully paid activities keep the experience good but not outstanding.
Positives:
- Free entry and parking: You only pay for activities; street parking at Goodwood & Cross Rd is free
- Friendly staff and clean lanes: Staff can help adjust lane settings and equipment
Challenges:
- Peak times can be busy: Weekends and school holidays fill lanes and arcade machines quickly
- Arcade costs add up: Credit runs out fast if you play skill or racing games; track your spend

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...
