6 Best Bowling Alleys In Cambridgeshire

Cambridgeshire's bowling comes with side quests. The top-rated venue, Lakeside Lodge Golf and Bowling at 4.3, attaches its lanes to a golf complex; Play 2 Day and the Play2Day Family Entertainment Centre — two entries, one family of venues — mix bowling with indoor play at 4.1 apiece, handy when one child wants pins and the other wants a ball pool; and Eat n Bowl states its whole proposition in three words, scoring 3.9. The straight-down-the-lane options are Hollywood Bowl Peterborough at 4.2 and Tenpin Cambridge at 3.8, covering the county's two cities. All six venues are indoor. It is a quietly unusual list: only two dedicated chain alleys, with the rest bundling bowling into bigger offers — golf, soft play, food — a shape that suits mixed-age families better than it suits purists. Cambridge's single option means weekend lanes there go quickly, with the Peterborough branch and the hybrid venues absorbing the overflow. Flat county, fast lanes, and enough bolted-on variety that a bowling trip in Cambridgeshire rarely means just bowling — which, with children of different ages in the car, is precisely the point.
