Bumpers can be raised on any lane so nothing ends up in the gutter, lighter balls are available for smaller hands, and ramps let very young children push the ball down the lane themselves. Junior pricing applies to under-16s. Most centres also have amusements, and several have mini golf, so there is something to do between games.” Sources: https://www.hollywoodbowl.co.uk/ ### [What time does Hollywood Bowl close?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/hollywood-bowl-q80971952#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-ce3c93cc79e6d4c5-a-1dfdfd4c99044add527e) “The closing times for our centres vary depending on the day of the week, and the centre itself.
