Hi Catherine, thank you for your 5* review of Tenpin York! It's lovely to hear that this was your first visit in a while and that you had the best time. We can't wait to welcome you back again shortly! Best wishes-Leila
Great family entertainment!
We had a lovely time bowling and then playing on some of the arcade games. There was a slight mishap with one of the balls getting stuck and there were a lot of staff milling about, but seemingly unavailable to help. Once we found someone that wasn’t busy the issue was quickly sorted. I’m sorry I didn’t get the young ladies name to thank her in this review. All in all a great experience.

We were attracted to Tenpin by the…competitive pricing
We were attracted to Tenpin by the competitive price available which was around 50% cheaper than the local competition. Checking in was no problem and the venue seemed to have been upgraded since our last visit. It’s spacious and well laid out so we went on to have a very enjoyable hour and a half. We didn’t eat or have drinks but there was a good choice on offer although I did feel that some of the menu wa priced on the high side. All in all a good experience and one that we will certainly repeat in the future.

We booked online and ordered food at the same time. When we arrived they asked if we wanted it straight away, we said yes, we had played both games before the food came out afyer askig twice for it!
The staff were really nice though.
We then did laser, the new system wasn't working properly so while they were sorting it out they gave us the table tennis bats to play table tennis free while we were waiting.
The staff were very nice.

I have a ten year old who wanted to go in the new softplay that just opened and she is 1cm to tall and it is for up to 12 years old so how can a 12 12 year old be under 1.40cm if a 10 year old isn't it should be like 1.45cm

Hi Hayley, thank you for taking the time to leave a review of Tenpin York! We appreciate you sharing your experience and feedback regarding the height restriction in our soft play area and we understand the frustration this may have caused. Our height restriction is in place to ensure the safety of our guests and so we are very sorry to hear that your daughter was above the requirement. Your feedback is very important to us and so please be assured all will be shared with the appropriate team and in the meantime, we do hope this will not stop you from visiting us for our other activities in the future! Best wishes - Mel
Good experience
Easy to book on-line. Newly revamped interior provided a clean and fresh appearance. Only downside was the music was intrusively loud.
