Quick info
About Richardson's Family Entertainment Centre Lowestoft
Richardson's Family Entertainment Centre Lowestoft is a bowling alley at 11 Capital Trading Estate in Lowestoft, with eight lanes for ten pin bowling. Kids' soft play and arcade machines share the building with the lanes, so a group with children can split its time between games and play. DJ and karaoke nights add an evening option for adults. A bar serves drinks on site, and the diner's food menu includes cheesy chips. The centre also runs children's parties, which puts the soft play, bowling and food in one place for a birthday group.

“We had a really enjoyable visit to Richardson's Family Entertainment Centre! It wasn't particularly busy when we visited, which was lovely, especially with two young children. No waiting around, and plenty of space to enjoy ourselves. The soft play is an additional £4.50 per child, which is worth knowing beforehand. Unfortunately, my son did have a little accident in the soft play area, cutting the back of his head and causing some bleeding. However, I have to give credit to the staff, who were great in dealing with the situation. They were helpful and attentive, which was really appreciated. We also ordered some cheesy chips, which arrived lovely and hot, freshly prepared and really enjoyable. Can't comment on the rest of the menu, but no complaints about what we had! Overall, a good family experience despite the unexpected drama! The staff deserve praise for how they handled my son's accident, and we'd happily return.”

“Good morning out with the kids. While staying on Lowestoft for the week, we had a grey drizzley morning to deal with. Decided to go to richardson's, and we were really pleasantly surprised! We used the soft play and had a little blast on the aracade and had a couple of drinks while there. Staff; very friendly, helpful and professional. Venue; very clean, modern and in a good state of repair. Price of everything was reasonable and the kids Had a great time. My only feedback would be that two or three of the arcade machines would work which was shame but that aside 10/10. Would recommend.”
