Best Indoor Activities for Families: Orchid Bowl at Safra Punggol

Family time is all about spending time together – preferably in an indoor place with activity to relax our mind off work and school. So, if you are in a mood for a friendly competition with your young ones then you should head down to the newly opened Orchid Bowl at Safra Punggol!

Featuring a futuristic and modernistic feel to the new outlet. We love how spacious and new it feels (Very cold too!).

Especially the huge palm holding the glass table and the comfy sofa instead of the usual plastic chairs.

Crossing a span of over 22, 000 ft wide, this Orchid Bowl outlet has got to be the most family-friendly bowling alley in Singapore which features a total of 24 lanes!

Located at level 5 in Safra Punggol, this new outlet kicked off as a game changer for the bowling industry with the widest and most innovative variety of one-lane entertainment options. We say, the perfect spot for families to enjoy time together and have fun!

Let us introduce you to their highlight features that impress not only the adults but kept the kids wildly engaged too!

NEW ANIMATED SCORING SYSTEM

With the new installation of the smartest system to interact with, the BES X system allows players to enjoy an easy and automatical one-lane experience with a large selection of on-demand environment, games, and games format to interact with while they are teaming up with another lane or playing within themselves.

It offers 18 different environments which include four dedicated, themed birthday environments, over 1000 unique animations and 26 games.

Specifically, for families, if you wish to keep the little ones engaged through the 10 full frames, you may try out the four stimulating MAD GAMES Instead!

It offers shorter game format, simpler ways to score and a faster-bowling pace such as the MONSTER FACTORY, CHARACTER FACTORY, BOWLING HOOD AND BATTLES ON THE LANES!

To test your bowling skills, opt for the SKILL GAMES to spice the challenge up! We aren’t considered the “pros” in bowling so we didn’t chose this.

Or add some personalised touch to your lane? Simply select a grid colour or effect, and snap an image of yourself on the new built-in camera function of the new SUPERTOUCH LCD bowler console. We saw how the other lanes had their faces on the screen so we decided to try this out first.

The images on the screens instantly gave our gaming experience an adorable vibe!

Here are one of the Character shots feature, in which they ask for your happy, silly and sad faces to align with your scorings.

AUTOMATIC BUMPERS

Each lane is fitted with automatic bumpers that you no longer need to run to the bowling counter to request to turn it on for the kids, players may do so at their own lane on the touch screen panel.

For better user experience AND convenience, the bumper will auto-appear when it’s the child’s turn and it will fold in when it’s the Adults turn.

5 POUND BALL

Whether it’s the teenage or adults, lifting the 3 hole balls might not be as difficult but for the younger kids who wish to be a part of the game too it could be a Thor’s hammer. However here in Safra Punggol’s Orchid Bowl, you may find the first ever – 5 Pound ball in a shade of blue color, comes with 5 holes so to enable an easier grip by the smaller hands.

That allows families with young kids to enjoy bowling as much as anyone else. Yes! even the toddlers can join in the fun now ! Which is lightens the parents load and enables the little ones to throw that 5-pound ball with ease.

Lane Chatter

The new lane chatter feature allows bowlers to chat and text other lanes. Other than that you can view your scores in real time too, and see what lane bowlers are bowling on and their standing at any given moment.There are a feature to log in to Facebook as well where you can either like or check in your location!

DISCO AND BOWL

Lastly, to hype up the mood, the Orchid Bowl staff will pick the right timing to pump in some grooving music and turn on the disco and LED lights just liked this below!

Even the pins glow with the LED lighting, which we dance and bowl to the infectious songs which was so much fun!

HOURLY RATE

Other than being the newest outlet, we can’t say more that we loved the fact that it’s The first to charged by hour at Safra Punggol, this enables more families and friends to enjoy and try out more games and features within that hour of fun and music!

So if you can’t take the sweltering heat from this summer, why not have a little friendly match with your kids or friends at the coolest and most interactive bowling alley in Singapore! Have fun!
