    Thats the one, thanks george. They say its a special but its been like that since it opened and its on peak too!

    Nah I think the price changed when Funtasia opened up last year. Duno what the old price was asumming 30euro though. But I do recall a rudy great big sign appearing outside advertising its cheap rate and me having a hmm moment.

    Whoa!! That's expensive!
    Interestingly most centres in the UK book lanes per game rather than per hour!

    In Norwich you get unlimited bowling for £6 on weekdays before 6 PM :)

    After 6 PM it's £9 for two games plus a choice of drink from the bar Mon-Fri!!

    Where I bowl is £9.90 for two games and I get every 7th game free :)

    Leisureplex league bowlers get vouchers for 20 euro an hour which is fine! Anything over 20 an hour is bad. Luckily im a league bowler there.

    I brought the kids up to Drogheda Bowl las week. 2 kids were €2 each and I was €4.50 for 1 game. Or €15 for the hour. Hard to beat that price. Leisureplex was always known for being an expensive spot. League bowlers in my opinion should only be paying league prices at all times. The sport is expensive enough as it is..

    Anyone know if theres a proper league in Blanchardstown, hope the prices have gone down for the hour these days what with the recession and all and more people with lots of free time on them these days.

    There should be proper leagues in Blanch and yes, bowling in a league is usually cheaper than bowling outside a league. In the league you don't pay by the hour you pay a set price for the number of games.

    In my league it's £11.50* for three games :)
