Timezone The Base Hamilton

4 mini lanes Level 1, The Base

Fifteenth venue, four lanes

Hamilton has two ways to bowl on this list, and they could hardly be further apart. Bowl and Social at SkyCity is a full-size, food-to-the-lane affair; Timezone at The Base is a family games hall that opened on 15 November 2024 as the operator's fifteenth New Zealand venue.

According to the opening announcement, the Te Rapa centre covers more than 1,100 square metres with over 75 games, Spin Bumper Cars, two party rooms and four bowling lanes. The branch page lists them as mini bowling, so expect short lanes and light balls rather than league equipment.

Level 1, The Base, Te Rapa

Find it on level 1 of The Base shopping centre, at Te Rapa Road and Wairere Drive.
