Newtown's glow lanes on Hall Street
Bowlarama describes itself as a locally owned entertainment centre, and it sits at 52 Hall Street in Newtown. Its 12 lanes glow in the dark with Wellington-themed designs, some of them set up as premium lanes, and each one takes up to six players.
Laser tag, GellyBall, an arcade and private karaoke rooms fill out the building. One attraction is missing for now: the venue says its Hyper Golf mini golf course is closed because the Newtown floods left it badly damaged by water, while bowling carries on. The centre also says it backs more than 100 local sports teams. The hours shown come from its Google listing, because the timetable on the website would not load for us on 11 November 2026.
Google-listed times for Hall Street
Friday and Saturday stay open an hour later, until 10pm.
These are the general opening hours on the venue's Google listing, not a lane timetable; lanes can close earlier or be booked out.
