Spiffy footwear, a bit of friendly competition and even some cosmic lighting: we've found the best bowling alleys in Singapore for kids and families
Kids are notoriously hard to please, and finding the right activities for tykes and toddlers can be a bit of a challenge. Plus, we’re not too keen on booking outdoor classes that end up cancelled (the drama of a change in plan for a tot is, at times, pretty award-winning). But if you still fancy keeping the kiddos (and you) active, then we know a fun-packed option that absolutely fits the bill and ranks among the best indoor activities in Singapore: Ten-pin bowling!
While you might also be looking up the best rock climbing gyms in Singapore or scanning the island for awesome free things to do with kids, hitting the lanes is an absolute classic. A bit of friendly competition and a snazzy pair of shoes is sure to liven up an otherwise dreary afternoon. There are so many incredible things to do with kids in Singapore that keep everyone active and dry under one roof. So, if you are looking for the best things to do this weekend, here are the kid-friendly bowling alleys in Singapore where you can score a strike with the family!
