Play2Win Bowling Whanganui
Boost ST pinsetters in the old Farmers Building
Play2Win's arcade and mini golf take the lower floor of the former Farmers Building on St Hill Street. Upstairs are eight lanes which, by the operator's account, were New Zealand's first with Boost ST string pinsetters. A MyShot trainer can set up chosen pin combinations on demand, which is handy for practising spares.
Leagues run for competitive bowlers and for families, and children get on-screen themes and scoring that can be adjusted for them. Pool, shuffleboard and darts fill the space around the lanes, the bar serves over-18s only, and pizza comes from a vending machine. Socks are compulsory and sold on site. Bowling prices were not readable on the website when we checked on 11 November 2026, so ask by phone or email.
