Bowling beneath the Metro Centre cinemas

Metrolanes occupies part of the Metro Centre at 291–297 Queen Street, the building beneath the cinemas on the edge of Aotea Square. An acoustics consultancy that worked on the fit-out describes the lanes as split across four zones, with a bar and a restaurant alongside. Sources disagree on how many lanes there are, so we do not give a figure.

A few practical rules matter here. The counter takes cards only, never cash. Parties of fewer than 12 simply turn up, while larger groups must book ahead and pay a non-refundable deposit of half the cost. Students who show ID get a further 10% off. The standard rate card is posted as an image we could not read; the only price in text was a NZ$35 holiday combo of bowling and mini golf, checked on 11 November 2026.
