Room for improvement
My son couldn't access the soft play safely as he was being pushed and shoved around. The doors to the soft play kept being left open and he's non verbal and was able to just wander out freely, thankfully I was watching the area like a hawk but after ten minutes he didn't want to be in there. I was on edge as he could've just wandered out as it was very busy, several children were lost in the time I was there 6 that I was aware of so was very relieved when my older son finished laser tag with his friends so we could leave but even that had an extended wait time after we'd paid for two back to back games.

It was the first day of opening
It was the first day of opening, we were not greeted with smiles or welcomings.
Instead tenpin did not know we were coming, had not set up any staff to set up the laser tag. The woman in the desk was frazzled saying they were short staffed and then ask us to wait whilst she served other people and when she could she would try get in radio someone to come. I had booked online 2 games of laser tag for 6 player. When someone came 20mins later we were very briefy told what to do but no safety briefing or how to put vests on right way. The lady was nice and said we were the first to have booked and only ones got that day. Stating thats why there was no one assigned to that area. The games were good, space small . Sadley the scores not available on first game which we were told it was recording them but went off before the end so we didnt know who won! Frustrating!
2nd game better was able to do teams adults v kids. It was good at £36 for 6 players mid week. Just wish we were welcomed and staff knew what they were doing .
At thed end of first game

Hello Megs,
Thank you for taking the time to rate Tenpin Blackpool stars. We are truly sorry to hear about your disappointing first experience. It sounds like there were several issues, from the lack of a welcoming greeting to the unpreparedness for your laser tag booking. We understand your frustration with the delayed start, the brief safety instructions, and the scores not being available for your first game. Your feedback is invaluable as we work to improve our services, especially during new openings. All the best ~ Laura

Rip off and a mess
The place was a complete mess, empty glasses and food baskets over multiple tables, food thrown over floor.
Ordered food and was 90 minutes before it arrived, asked multiple staff where it was and told on its way.
When the food did arrive half the order was missing and what did arrive was indelible. The burger buns were rock hard, my "ultimate burger" was a plain hard burger bun with a cold beef patty, no salad, no sauce, hot dog with missing ketchup, onions and mustard. Left food and asked for a refund which we got.
The bar staff were rude and ignorant, the queue for the bar was ridiculous, they were too busy trying to make fancy cocktails while ignoring other people! Never again!

Hi Ian, thank you for taking the time to leave a rating and review of Tenpin Blackpool. We appreciate your honest feedback and we will ensure your comments are passed to the correct teams. Once again, we're sorry for any disappointment caused and we are pleased to hear that staff were able to offer a refund on this occasion. Best wishes, Jade
expensive
Our first visit here, and unfortunately, we won't be returning.
Firstly, it's very expensive. Places such as YMCA, First Bowl, and Level in Preston offer family bowling deals that provide much better value for money. For a family of four, you can often get two games each for around the same price that Tenpin charges for just one game.
We were also disappointed that there were no discounted rates for disabled customers or carers. Most other venues provide free carer places, often allowing up to two carers per disabled person.
To make matters worse, we waited almost an entire game of bowling (around 35 minutes) for a coffee. The staff seemed inexperienced and disorganised, and customer service was poor.
Overall, we found the venue overpriced, poorly managed, and not particularly disability-friendly.

Hi Sharon, thank you for leaving a rating and review for Tenpin Blackpool. We are really sorry for any disappointment caused. We do offer a concessionary rate for disabled guests and their carers which is available Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays. Please note that this rate is only available to book over the phone with our central reservations team or at your local Tenpin site, all subject to availability. We will most certainly be passing all of your feedback on to ensure improvements are made! In the meantime, we do hope you will give us another chance and we very much look forward to welcoming you back! Best wishes, Jade
Really good place
Really good place, can be a little pricey though. And it takes them quite awhile to bring your food but apart from that it's great!

Wasn’t good for a first weekend
Wasn’t good for a first weekend. Not enough staff. A lot of waiting around. People leaving their posts. Staff getting frustrated and rolling their eyes and getting annoyed. Felt like a lot of people wanted us to just say leave it we will go but things were prebooked so wasn’t a matter of just walking away. Understand hiccups but was just very poor and lots of moaning from staff and customers.

Brilliant place
Brilliant place, friendly staff. Only issue i had was the seating area isn't separate for the soft play. I didn't like leaving my bag by the bar seats to check on my child. Also no 2p machines only 10ps. No good for young children who are going to waste most. 10ps don't last
