Strike Bowling Chatswood

Last updated April 2026

Watch faces light up the moment the laser tag doors open at Strike Bowling Chatswood in the heart of the Mandarin Centre. This isn’t just laser tag—it’s a glow-in-the-dark adventure where kids aged 5 and up can dodge, duck, and tag their way through a futuristic arena that changes with every session. The venue blends high-energy glow games with the convenience of a full bowling alley, café, and arcade right next door, making it the ultimate indoor playground for families in Chatswood, Sydney. After the lights dim, the black-lit maze comes alive with sound effects and team challenges that keep even the most competitive kids begging for another round. Parents love the easy drop-off setup and the fact that there’s always a cold drink waiting at the café when the game ends. **What to Bring** Comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a little dusty. Closed-in shoes—no sandals or thongs. A light jacket if your kids get cold in the air-conditioned arena. Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated between rounds. A small note with your contact details in case your child needs to reach you. **Best Age Range** Best for 5–12 year olds. Younger siblings can join if supervised, but the intensity of the game suits school-aged children best. **Good to Know** Entry price is around $10–$15 per child depending on time slots and includes game time plus shoe hire. Adults pay around $12–$20 to play. Book online to skip the queue—walk-ins are welcome but weekends fill fast. Parking is available in the Mandarin Centre car park or nearby Wilson car park on Albert Avenue. Sessions run every hour, with the last entry at 8pm on weeknights and 9pm on weekends. **Nearby** Grab a milkshake or snack at the café inside the venue before heading to the Chatswood Library for storytime or a play in the children’s section. It’s a quiet, air-conditioned space where little ones can wind down after the action. **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive 15 minutes early to check in and let kids settle in—first-time players often need a quick run-through of the rules. Go on a weekday afternoon if you want a quieter session with shorter wait times. Bring a portable phone charger—parents end up taking dozens of action shots and videos.
