   Always a nice visit there, we did the bowling and crazy gold combo and had a great time. Although the kids did beat me lol. Very clean and tidy environment. The staff are super friendly and professional and had smiles on their faces even when they were really busy, brilliant customer service.

   Went here for a Birthday, 2 adults and 2 kids. Pre booked. Venue is clean and tidy and the bowling is very good. Everything is well overpriced (although the parking is free if you're bowling) £64 for 2 games!! Just so you know what to expect.........we did have a great time though. ADVICE: Look for discount codes online

   Namco Funscape Tamworth: A Sensory Odyssey ​Six out of Five Stars (Must be Experienced) ​Forget your sensible, minimalist leisure activities. If you are looking for tranquility, low-key lighting, or subtle décor, please turn your sensible saloon car around right now. Namco Funscape Tamworth is not here for subtlety; it is here for maximalist, unadulterated, glorious FUN. It’s less a venue, and more a vibrant, electric explosion of pure entertainment energy. ​From the moment you step onto the carpet—a geometric marvel that perfectly camouflages three decades of soft drink spills and ambition—you are enveloped in a sensory blitzkrieg. The air is thick with the scent of popcorn, industrial-strength floor cleaner, and a hint of ozone from the overworked prize claw machines. The soundscape is a triumphant symphony of 8-bit chip tunes, the crash of falling pins, and the collective, desperate whirring of air hockey tables. This is not noise, my friends; this is authentic atmosphere. ​The Sanctity of the Arcade ​The arcade section is a museum of coin-operated history, yet somehow every cabinet is still demanding your attention, flashing with a reckless disregard for epilepsy warnings. You will spend hours, and approximately the cost of a small, pre-owned vehicle, pursuing the pointless, glorious accumulation of paper tickets. This is a pilgrimage, a quest for the ultimate reward: a plastic spider ring, a sticky hand, or a pencil topper that costs roughly 5,000 times its retail value in sunk credit. We salute this irrational economic system. It is perfection. ​The Lanes of Legend ​The bowling area is immaculate, in the most Tamworth way possible. The hired shoes—truly the peak of mid-20th-century athletic footwear—are practically a fashion statement, hinting at the athletic prowess you're about to unleash. The lanes themselves are fast, true, and possibly possess a slight, undetectable tilt designed purely to challenge the physics of your spin. A perfect strike here feels less like a sport and more like winning a highly personalized battle against gravity and fluorescent lighting. ​Necessary Fuel ​The food is exactly what you want: unapologetic, perfectly greasy, and delivered with the speed of a well-oiled machine. It’s fuel for the next round of air hockey, designed to maximize your sugar rush and maintain peak concentration for the highly complex task of guiding a plastic ball through a clown’s mouth. It is the gastronomic equivalent of the entire venue: loud, fun, and utterly essential. ​Go to Namco Funscape. Embrace the glorious chaos. Allow the neon lights to heal your soul. If you leave without a massive novelty slushie and at least one sticky wristband, you haven't lived.

   Great place with a fun and safe feeling atmosphere. Well staffed by friendly, helpful professionals. Plenty to do such as bowling, arcade games, crazy golf, the play barn and the restaurant with a sports tv. Free parking, if you bowl and plenty of it. Also conveniently located next to Tamworth Castle Park. Also, the arcade games take cash but a change machine which accepts card is available on site, so you can entertain yourself immediately, while you wait for your slot on the bowling lanes. Very clean and a lot of fun. Already eager to return.

   We had a great game of bowling with the family. It wasn't busy for a Friday night and there were plenty of bowling balls of different sizes to use. Worth a visit if you're in the area. Be mindful to get a voucher to cover your parking from the desk.

   Very busy when we went enabling a vibrant atmosphere. Bar service is great with one of the female bartenders very polite. Speaking about the bar, there's some top named brands, including Tequila Rose and Grey Goose. Good for families, couples, friends or solos

   All round great place to spend 2 hours crazy golf bowling and an arcade. We did a combo golf/ bowling ticket, which thought was great value. Also has a soft play area, bar, and a Costa coffee shop. Ps crazy golf is half indoor half outdoors.

   Awesome Loved it!!! Parked up really easy! I read a few Google reviews before to suss out the parking situation but when we entered the venue they immediately asked if we had a car in the carpark, we were given a special ticket and asked to validate our reg on departure SIMPLE :-) Brilliantly Awesome Day! Arcade games were ace!

   My daughter had a great 6th birthday celebration with her family and friends. It's a cheap and fun place that children love. The bonus is there is a bar and food place attached so you can enjoy it too.

   We had an enjoyable experience for my sons 11th birthday. The holiday deals made the bowling affordable for a game and the arcades were a hit. All the machines were working and the staff were always really helpful, assisting us to set up the names on the bowling and with any questions we had. A ticket for the parking was offered immediately so we didn't have to remember that and we even popped to the park for 30 minutes before leaving. Pleased to see that the prizes for the arcade were all available unlike some similar venues. Overall would definitely recommend and we will be returning
