Sci-fi buffs will be in shoot-em-up heaven at Area
51 Laser Quest. The facility forms a smoke-filled
lair where friends can get trigger-happy on one
another, in between scoping signs of alien life.
The thrill of laser quest is one that never tires, but
Area 51’s futuristic setting cranks the tension and
excitement up several notches. Players aged eight
and over are invited to the Belle Vale facility to
celebrate birthdays, work events and anything else
that calls for unloading a clip into their nearest and
dearest. It’s all a bit of fun, but that doesn’t mean
you won’t be trying your damnedest to walk away
with the bragging rights. The centre offers a range
of party packages to suit everything from children’s
events to team-building exercises. Whatever it
takes to reach Area 51, find an excuse, round up a
crew and run wild.
HOLLYWOOD BOWL
Edge Lane Retail Park
Montrose Way
Liverpool, L13 1EW
There’s bowling and then there’s bowling Hollywood
Bowl style. The skittles tumble and the good times
roll at the gleaming bowling alley where the classic
game of tenpin bowling has been treated to a 21st
century makeover. 28 state-of-the-art lanes provide
the perfect setting in which to take on friends, family
and work colleagues. When you’ve tired of notching
up strikes, there are plenty of other ways to while
away an evening at Hollywood Bowl. No bowling
alley would be complete without amusements,
and Hollywood Bowl’s are some of the sleekest in
the city. Play basketball, try your hand at Pacman
Smash and generally boss the arcades just like
you bossed the bowling. You don’t have to be
possessed of a competitive streak of course, but it
certainly adds to the fun. Afterwards, you can relive
the evening’s action over a slap-up all-American
meal of burgers, fries and soda.
