Summer is here, and we are on the hunt for some activity that doesn’t end up making us sweat like crazy. Bowling is one such game, and Khalifa International Bowling Centre in Abu Dhabi is where you can head with your friends and family for a game night! Tucked in the heart of the capital, this legendary spot opened in 1999, built specifically to host the 14th FIQ World Bowling Championships. Since then, it has rolled its way to fame, becoming the UAE’s national bowling facility and hosting global tournaments not once, but twice, a record-breaker when the championship returned in 2014 and 2015.
Abu Dhabi’s Khalifa International Bowling Centre Is A Strike Lover’s Paradise
Step inside and you’ll instantly notice this isn’t your dimly lit, retro alley. Khalifa Bowling Centre is bright, airy, and kitted out with 40 ten-pin lanes featuring automatic Brunswick scoring. Each lane has bumpers for the little ones and slick 42” monitors for easy scorekeeping. You can even catch live sports on extra screens above the lanes, because multitasking is a lifestyle here.
Your strikes and gutters would be clearly visible on the two massive 4m x 3m screens hanging proudly down if you are in for the major tournaments And yes, you can bring your cheer squad; retractable seating fits 616 guests, expandable to nearly 1,000 when needed.
More Than Just Bowling
Khalifa Bowling Centre isn’t all about strikes and spares. Fancy a game of billiards? There’s a whole room for that. Up for table tennis? Sorted. If bowling ain’t your thing then your straight up dive into the small video arcade.
And when hunger strikes? You’re spoilt for choice. Grab a bite at Lucky Strike, enjoy breezy bites at Summer Breeze, or tuck into award-winning Chinese dishes at Noodle Bowl. Safe to say, your food cravings won’t be left hanging.
