Pro Tips

  1. 1.Visit during weekday mornings or early afternoons to avoid crowds and ensure lane availability without reservations.

  3. 3.Request bumpers for younger bowlers at the counter. Staff may have limited English, so pointing to your child and saying 'bumpers please' with hand gestures helps.

Seasonal Notes

Open year-round with consistent hours. This indoor venue is especially popular during Vietnam's rainy season (May to November) when outdoor activities are limited. No special holiday closures noted, but confirm hours during Tet (Vietnamese New Year, typically late January or February).
