Top Games Spots in Auckland

If you're on a budget, check out their special deals for food and drinks during happy hour, usually from 4 PM to 6 PM. We saved a chunk of money this way!

My advice is to try the themed bowling nights. They had such a cool vibe and it made the experience way more enjoyable compared to regular bowling!

I recommend booking a lane in advance, especially on weekends, to avoid the long wait times. Trust me, it was super frustrating when we had to wait over an hour

I suggest wearing comfy shoes; you’ll be moving around a lot, and trust me, no one wants sore feet when they're trying to have fun!

I think you should dress in layers. The arena can get cold, especially with the air conditioning, and you don't want to be shivering during an intense game.

My advice is to check the local food stalls inside the arena. They're usually cheaper than the big chains and offer some unique Kiwi bites you won't want to miss.

If you can, use public transport. It’s super convenient and saves you a lot of hassle with parking. Plus, you can enjoy a beer at the game without worrying about driving!

I suggest getting there around 5 PM if you want to snag a good parking spot. Traffic can be a mess before events, so arriving early makes it easier to settle in.

If you're planning to stay for a few games, I suggest playing the bowling and billiards combo. It saved me some cash and added some variety to the fun!

Don't forget to check out their food menu. I think their nachos were a perfect snack while bowling. They have some great deals if you buy combo packages.

I recommend booking your lanes online, especially on weekends, as it gets super busy. I waited half an hour just to get a lane!

Try to go right when they open at 10 AM if you can. The crowds are way lighter, and you can play a few games without the rush.

Bring a few mates if you want to avoid the queue for the pool tables. I went solo, and had to wait a while during peak times. Sharing the fun is way better anyway!

If you're feeling peckish, try the nachos! They’re a hit among visitors and perfect for sharing. I thought they were a bit pricey, but hey, they hit the spot!

Don't forget sunscreen and a hat if you're going during the day. The sun can be intense, and you'd want to be comfortable while having fun.
