Bowl and Social
Lanes with a view of the Waikato
SkyCity Hamilton calls Bowl and Social the city's only full-sized bowling alley. It occupies the second floor of the complex at 340 Victoria Street, looking over the Waikato River, and the game screens double as a menu: order pizzas, nachos or hot dogs and they are brought to your lane.
Arcade games and air hockey fill the gaps between frames, and birthday packages are split into Kids (ages 5 to 9) and Tweens (9 to 14). SkyCity's casino is for over-20s, but the bowling page sets no age limit. The rates shown were stated as current from 26 March 2025, and a weekday family offer began on 14 September 2026. Sources give different lane counts, so we leave the figure out.
