1 / 2Metrolanes
đ Auckland CBD, Auckland
Multi-activity indoor venue with bowling lanes, karaoke rooms, billiards, and a mini bowling area for younger children. Card payments only. Shoe hire is mandatory. Equipment breakdowns are frequent.
Fun for the family. You get to pick your bowling balls from a rack as well. Shoes are included in the price for bowling. Wear socks. Drinks and food are well priced for larger groups. Theres also billiards and karaoke, and a 'mini' bowling area, I'm guessing for kids. The attendants are also very nice.
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families who want a social multi-activity outing rather than uninterrupted competitive bowling. The karaoke rooms and billiards give groups genuine alternatives when lane issues arise.

âGreat place for groups and family to enjoy the bowling and snooker. You do have to pay extra $2 for shoes which they provide and it's compulsory. Which is I felt wasn't necessary. They should give it for free.â

âThe most rundown bowling alley I have ever been two. Half the lanes were out of action when we arrived and the ones allocated to us were breaking down every 2-3 turns. At times you'd hit pins but not get any points registered, other times you wouldn't hit any pins yet the system would allocate you points. What's worse is the system would suddenly jam up in the middle of a turn requiring you to escalate the breakdown to management to reset and fix over and over again. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and for that I reward them two points, but for the facility itself, zero. Do better and invest money in the upkeep of your facility.â

Overview
Metrolanes combines traditional bowling with karaoke rooms, billiards tables, and a mini bowling zone suited to younger children. Card payments only â no cash accepted. Shoe hire is mandatory and charged separately per person. Equipment reliability is the main weakness: pin-setters fail, balls get stuck, and scoring systems misregister. Multiple lane changes in a single session are common.
