Bray Bowl Family Entertainment Centre — Attraction in The Municipal District of Bray

I visited this establishment on 21st February 2019. I was playing games in the arcade. I went to play a racing car game. A male worker from the establishment approached me and aggressively snarled that I was not permitted to play the game as there was a party in progress. I politely recommended that he should have a sign to state the areas which were out of bounds for the duration of the party as the current setup leads to confusion and disappointment. I felt shaken after the incident as the staff member had made me feel like I had made a mistake even though I hadn’t.

Later my boyfriend was playing a hunting game. I was not with him as I was sorting out an issue with the air hockey machine (it did not issue tickets on completion of the game). I approached my boyfriend while he was talking to the same male staff member. The staff member told him he could not play the machine as it was part of the party area. My boyfriend stated that he put a euro in the machine so he was going to finish the game. The staff member turned his attention to me. He aggressively growled that he had already told me about the party. I firstly explained that he was having a conversation with my boyfriend not me so he should be directing his attention to him. The staff member was shouting in my face. He was physically very intimidating. I told him that he needed to calm down that there was a communication issue. I had not understood that it also included this area.

I asked for his supervisor as he persisted his verbal abuse. I spoke to this woman. I explained what happened. She went to great lengths to say that the hunting game could not have accepted my boyfriend’s euro while in freeplay mode. My boyfriend stated that it did and the issue was never about the euro, it was about how we were treated. She informed me that she will speak to the staff member about his conduct. We never received a meaningful apology from either staff member.

We will not be coming back here again. We were here as tourists. We will be telling everyone who will listen to avoid this disgraceful establishment due to abysmal organisation and horrific...

Bray Bowl offers an unbeatable entertainment experience at an incredible value! I recently spent an afternoon there and couldn't be more impressed. For just €14, I enjoyed an hour of bowling followed by an exhilarating 30-40 minutes of laser tag—both of which were thrilling and packed with fun.

The bowling lanes were modern, well-maintained, and perfect for players of all skill levels. The atmosphere was lively, with great music and a vibrant energy that made the experience even more enjoyable. Afterward, the laser tag arena did not disappoint; it was immersive, well-designed, and full of exciting twists and turns. The adrenaline rush was real, and it was the perfect complement to the bowling.

But the fun doesn’t stop there! Bray Bowl also offers a variety of other games, including pool and table hockey, which are great for rounding out your visit. Whether you're with family, friends, or even on a date, there’s something for everyone.

The price is a steal considering how much entertainment is packed into the combo. The staff was friendly and the overall environment was welcoming and clean. If you're looking for a fun, budget-friendly outing in Bray, this is the place to be. Highly...

Bray Bowl is a bit run-down compared to other fancier bowling allwys like the Leisureplexes in Stillorgan and Coolock, with the bowling lanes being quite scratched compared to the shiny oiled lanes of the aforementioned bowling alleys, but there is one advantage: their barriers that prevent the bowling ball from going into the gutter can be programmed to only be up for certain players and down for other players in the same game. This means you can play with your young kids and allow them to have an easier game, whilst making it harder for yourself. As far as I know, this is not an option in the Leisureplexes; only to have the barrier up or down for the whole game. If it is possible to program the barrier in the Leisureplexes, it has never been offered to me anyway. Also in Bray Bowl, you can get unlimited deal at more times in the week than the Leisureplexes offer. You pay €12 and can play an unlimited number of games of bowling. The €12 also allows you to play some of the videogames. However, they really need to service the free games, as many of them are not working properly. It would also be great if the offer included playing at least one of the air...
