Ballina Bowling & Recreation Club Ltd reviews
4 Star Review by Rachel
Awesome place to visit. Friendly staff, affordable bowling and clean atmosphere. Kids love it here and so do I
4 Star Review by Martina Hayes
Quaint place with good vibe. This iron shed gets hot in warm weather unfortunately. Young helpful staff provided excellent service for a child's birthday party. Not a bad package. Exterior has seen better days. Large dirt carpark. Couple of grassy patches nearby with trees but mostly no shade. The location is down a narrow dirt laneway in light industrial area. Quite an experience for a townie from Melbs.
5 Star Review by Ria K
Great for kids birthdays. One of the few indoor activities in Ballina-Byron-Lismore area. Book ahead during wet weather.

5 Star Review by Marcus Boun
Great leagues for adult and kids, great deals for regulars, great specials for holidays. Atmosphere makes for a great day or evening out. Highly recommend. Staff also will go out of their way to help you and even give some free coaching advice. Birthday parties and school excursions are also very affordable here and make great memories for the kids
