Last updated February 2026

Located within the lively Hillarys Boat Harbour precinct, Breakwater Bowl offers a classic ten-pin bowling experience for the whole family. This indoor venue provides a great escape from the Perth heat or a perfect option for a rainy day. With features like bumper lanes and lightweight balls available, it caters well to younger children just starting out. The convenient location, surrounded by eateries and other attractions, makes it an easy and entertaining addition to a day out at the harbour. It's a reliable choice for a casual family competition or a kids' birthday party. **What to Bring** Socks for everyone. Coins or card for the arcade games. **Best Age Range** Best for ages 5 and up. Younger children can use the ramps and automatic bumpers to help them score, while older kids and teens enjoy the challenge of a proper game. **Good to Know** Ample free parking is available at Hillarys Boat Harbour, though it can be very busy on weekends. Booking your lane online is highly recommended, especially during school holidays. A licensed café and snack bar is located on site. The venue is pram and wheelchair accessible. **Nearby** Combine a game with a visit to the Aquarium of Western Australia (AQWA), located within the same complex. Afterwards, grab a bite at one of the many family-friendly restaurants or have a paddle at the calm harbour swimming beach. **Tips From Other Parents** Book your lane online before you go, as walk-in spots are rare on weekends. Check the website for cosmic bowling times when the lights go down and the music turns up. The arcade games can be a big hit, so set a budget beforehand.
