Information
Located inside the red dragon centre, it is bowling around the back, arcade round the front on left and right.You don't have to be bowling to go to arcade.
[ ! ] If you are parking and playing just for SMX, you have to go to the desk and explain that ull be on it then come back after playing to get free parking (6 hours max) as they want proof that you actually spent money, they might say to bring tickets as proof but smx is ticketless so might have to explain that lol
Recently (late July 2024 ish?) the arcade has been fully reshuffled with new machines and such with the deli on the right being replaced by arcade.
Average bowling arcade, 10p machines, redemption games w/ tickets, etc.
Some machines have card readers, there is a £1 machine near entrance on left that also accepts card and cash where you can get coins.
I sent an email to them asking if they could turn up the volume and they actually did so yay

10 months agoblitzenI doubt it for here as the reception staff mainly focus on the bowling part and such but could be possible

.'Some' Arcades are willing to increase volume of dance games on request. I cant vouch for a chain like Holywood bowl though
