Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We came to KingPin after receiving a voucher the night before for a round of bowling. Upon arrival we were amazed by how lovely and entertaining the whole area was. We were served by two gentleman, James and Callan. Once they realized that the bowling lanes were full they provided us with a complimentary drink and unlimited pool. We were absolutely delighted. Callan went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable and the overall experience with the staff was fanatstic. Once our bowling lane was free we were notified but weren’t rushed over. I would highly recommend visiting this centre particularly on a rainy day. It was thoroughly enjoyable and we will definitely return when we get the opportunity.
Thanks a million guys!

Awesome family day out, even Grandma joined in with the fun. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We played games for ages in the arcade, there is lots of variety and then had coffee & snacks upstairs. Everything was great service was quick and everything was tasty. Our kids loved spending the tickets at the end, it was a great couple of hours for a reasonable amount.

Our family recently visited Kingpin in Queenstown, and we had an unforgettable experience, thanks to a wonderful staff member named Kendrick! We were new to most of the arcade games, but he went out of his way to explain everything in detail with such patience, making sure we felt comfortable and had a great time. When we were just a little short on tickets for a prize, he kindly helped us out, making our day even more special. It’s rare to find someone so genuine and dedicated to creating a fantastic experience for visitors. We’ll always remember this visit fondly, and he truly deserves recognition for his outstanding service.
Thank you!
Thank you!

We had the time of our lives at kingpin. We did the escape room (and got out with 12 min to spare) and despite not needing any clues, Liz was absolutely incredible and so kind!! Liz without a doubt made the experience for our family and to be honest possibly was the highlight of our entire queenstown holiday!

Awesome experience for adults and kids. We did the escape room, bowling, karaoke, arcade and darts and it was great. As far as value for money, the deals are the way to go and you get hours and hours of fun. Jacinta was a stand out staff member, she made our kids feel really special; and for the adults she makes a great cocktail!

I brought my daughter here for some fun and games. One of the staff, Naomi, saw that she was struggling with a game so took time to teach her how to play and even played with her. So much fun and such legends as staff!

We paid $50 each for two activities and this led to nearly 4 hours of entertainment which was great value in Queenstown. We started with ten pin bowling then whilst waiting for an escape room, we played pool in the cocktail bar, enjoying a nice cocktail (though pricy!). The escape room was one of the best we have done and the person looking after us was friendly and helpful. Then because we had 'escaped' within the hour, we were given free cards for some arcade action including VR. This was a whole lot of fun so a really enjoyable family outing

Hey Rach! Thank you for posting such a great review! 🙌 We so appreciate your amazing comments! We are so grateful to hear you had such a brilliant time with us!
Our escape rooms are very tricky and only the cleverest cookies can escape, so congrats! (you deserved a prize!!)
We hope to welcome you back on your next Queenstown holiday! You will have to try our other escape room, it's harder... 😉
