We held my daughter's 6th birthday party at Tenpin Northampton and it was brilliant. The staff were great, the kids loved it and it was all so easy. I'd definitely recommend a kids party there!

I was told there was aircon and there wasn’t. It was sweltering. The pizzas were not good for the party and the photo booth in the arcade about of order was much is something Helios were looking forward to doing.

It was okay but
Although the actual bowling was fun , what ruined it was the fact we were never informed on booking that there would be two birthday parties going on , I had my two special needs children the noise impacted the fun they were having as they were struggling with the noises from the parties , which I understand can not be helped but if we were informed there would two parties until x time we could have booked for a different time , then I tried to cheer them up by going to arcades to find i could not even do that as they do not take credit cards as payment which then caused two meltdowns outside .
Also no ac so we were literally sweating so bad . I can't see us going back anytime soon

Great but limited bowling ball availability
It would have been 5 stars but there were no balls available. All the other lanes were being used so it made it really hard to find free balls.

Easy to book
Easy to book, good value for money, the fast food is exactly what it is so never expect too much on that score. We all had a great time, a team of 10 of us. Staff were helpful and friendly.

We got the bowling and food deal
We got the bowling and food deal. That come with 2 games of bowling for 2 adults and burger n chips and chicken burger n chips. The bowling was really good and enjoyed it but the food!!!! It was the worst food I've tasted in a while. You can taste the cheapness and it's so dry. Was a shame to taste that after having a good bowl.
