Bowlarama New Plymouth
The venue's website lists current bowling hours but shows no recent date, so we could only partly confirm it is trading. Call before a long trip.
AMF lanes and Canadian mini golf on Devon Street
The equipment list is unusually specific: Bowlarama's website says its 16 lanes run AMF 82-90XLi pinspotters, synthetic lane overlays and LCD monitors. The website also points out that the centre is air-conditioned. It stands at 188 Devon Street West, in the middle of New Plymouth.
An 18-hole black-light mini golf course, which the venue says was imported from Canada, sits alongside the lanes, and a laser tag arena themed as an underground warzone keeps separate hours and closes on Mondays and Tuesdays. The website footer dates from 2021 and bowling prices were not shown, so phone the centre for rates. Its published bowling hours matched the Google listing except on Thursdays when we checked on 11 November 2026.
