Kingpin Queenstown
Kingpin's first venue outside Australia
Kingpin opened in Queenstown on 10 February 2022 as the brand's first venue outside Australia, according to a press release from its operator. The release describes a 3,000 square metre site over two levels of the Upper Village development on Brecon Street, decorated in a ski-lodge style with views towards Lake Wakatipu, Coronet Peak and The Remarkables.
The lanes use BesX technology, which lets bowlers order to their lane and personalise the scoreboard. Two sources from 2022 give different lane counts and the venue page does not settle it, so we do not quote a number. Escape rooms, karaoke, more than 100 arcade games, virtual reality and table tennis share the building, and Queenstown residents can ask for a locals' discount.
