Work is almost complete on the family entertainment centre which is the first of its kind to be launched by Hollywood Bowl Group in Northern Ireland.
The new centre will bring family fun and entertainment to the Titanic Quarter when it opens its doors for the first time on Thursday April 14.
Craig Turnball, Centre Manager at Hollywood Bowl Belfast, said: “We’re thrilled to be opening our first centre in Northern Ireland. This is a major milestone for Hollywood Bowl which has built a reputation for delivering outstanding family experiences across the UK.
“Whilst the last few years have been tough for Belfast’s hospitality and leisure industry there are strong positive signs of normal life returning, and we can’t wait to welcome friends and family from across the city to have fun and make memories together once again in our new state of the art bowling centre at the Odyssey.”
Hollywood Bowl is part of the Hollywood Bowl Group, the UK’s leading ten pin bowling and competitive socialising business which manages 66 centres operating under the Hollywood Bowl, AMF Bowling and Puttstars (mini golf) brands.
