Looking for a fun, family activity to bond over? Why not hit up these places for a spot of bowling in Singapore with the kids?

If it’s too hot or too rainy for an exciting time in an outdoor park or playground, then why not consider bowling in Singapore with the kids instead? Older kids will love the independence of having their own bowling lane, but it’s also a fun activity for little ones as young as age 3. Wondering how that works? Some spots offer fam-friendly bowling in Singapore thanks to bowling alleys with side bumpers for kids, ramps as well as children’s bowling shoes. But before you pack the kids and head down for a spot of fun, consider these tips first:

  • Book ahead to reserve a bowling lane with side bumpers for very small kids
  • If the bowling alley doesn’t have shoes small enough for your child to rent (usually around $1.50/pair) they will allow kids to wear their own shoes – just make sure these are covered like trainers (no flip flops, open-toed sandals or Crocs). You must wear socks when renting bowling shoes.
  • Many places offering bowling in Singapore have party packages for those looking to celebrate birthdays without the mess at home!

If you’re already well-versed in all things bowling, then check out these awesome kid-friendly places to go bowling in Singapore!

Disclaimer: Before you take the kids bowling in Singapore it’s always best to call ahead or book in advance.

5. Orchid Bowl

First time taking the kids bowling in Singapore? Orchid Bowl has the essential side bumpers for kids to bowl (otherwise that ball ends up in the gutter more often than not!) and these bumpers can be programmed to only come up when it’s the kids’ turn to bowl. Orchid Bowl stands out from other bowling alleys in Singapore thanks to the Dragon Ramps (there are only 4 pieces available on a first come first serve basis). These plastic dragon-shaped ramps allow kids to slide their ball down so it has more chance to roll straight down the bowling alley and knock some pins down (and it also means kids don’t have to swing the ball which is heavy for little fingers!). Orchid Bowl offers smaller five-pound bowling balls for little kids. The rates here provide you with some of the cheapest bowling in Singapore, starting from as low as $2.40 per person.

Orchid Bowl, 1 Orchid Club Road Orchid Country Club #02-37 Singapore 769162, Tel: (+65) 6759 4448, www.orchidclub.com/orchid-bowl
