Strike Zone Tenpin Bowling
Fourteen lanes at Lynmore Junction
Strike Zone is the bowling part of Motion Entertainment in Lynmore Junction, at 366 Te Ngae Road on SH30; one booking site gives number 346 instead. Its 14 lanes hold 84 bowlers at a time. Smart Ball scoring, laser lighting and video screens come as standard, and the Crowd DJ system lets groups pick the music.
Staff can switch between three lighting settings, from party mode to brighter light for tournaments, and balls come in seven grip sizes, with bumpers on request. The lanes are a licensed area and Motion Cafe brings food out to them. Soundproof function rooms on the mezzanine overlook the floor, and Wednesday is Local's Day. The wider complex adds a ninja park, a trampoline park, mini golf, a dark ride and escape rooms.
