Discobowl Burnley

Discobowl took over the old bowling alley on Finsley Gate and has filled it with the usual extras: an arcade of claw machines, racing games and air hockey, pool tables, private karaoke boxes and Scrapyard Golf, an indoor crazy golf course themed as an industrial scrapyard with skate ramps and junk. Bowling is still the main event, and it is the reason to go on a wet Saturday.

A junior game (15 and under) is £8, an adult £9.50, and a family of four £32 a game. The cheaper route is term-time weekdays: £5 a game before 5pm, or the after-school deal of a game plus chicken bites or a hot dog with chips for £6.99 between 3pm and 6pm. Neither deal runs in school holidays, bank holidays or December. Crazy golf is £5 a junior, and a bowl-and-golf combo is £12 for a child.

It opens at 11am on weekdays and 10am at weekends, and stays open until 11pm or midnight, so the evenings get noisier. Pool tables need no booking. The karaoke boxes are private rooms at £30 for an hour, which is more of a birthday thing than a Tuesday thing. Outside food and drink are not allowed. Pizzas run from £10, and the arcade will happily absorb whatever you saved on the daytime deal.

What it costs: Bowling: adult £9.50, junior (15 and under) £8, family of four £32 a game. Daytime deal £5 a game Mon to Fri until 5pm, and after-school club (a game plus a kids' meal) £6.99 Mon to Fri 3pm to 6pm, neither in school or bank holidays or December. Scrapyard Golf: junior £5, adult £7, family of four £22. Bowl and golf combo: junior £12, adult £14, family of four £50.
