点评:O.k so the bowling was fine, kids had a great time. Drinks a bit on the expensive side, well very expensive side at £3 for a small bottle of Ribena!
But what really got to me was the arcade.
In our group there were 5 children and 6 adults. Us adults were giving the children money hand over fist because they all REALLY wanted to win a stuffed toy from one of the grab machines.
Now these stuffed toys wern't bigger than 15cm and nothing particularly special. For the longest time all of the children played over and over and over and they were SO good at it too, picking up the toys by there heads and lifting them clean out of the other toys but EVERY time the grabber claw let go. I mean I get how it works, not everyone is going to win a prize but for the sheer amount of money put in that machine you'd think that at least ONE would have come out??? The machines are set SO poorly with probably a 1 in 100 chance of getting anything out, IF that!
So 5 dissapointed children who must have put at LEAST £20 in that machine and didn't get a single one of the toys that probably cost you less than £1 each! Surely it would be kinder to the kids to set the win rate higher, even if it means lowering the quality of the toys so you can still grab your precious profits!
On a recent trip to Weston-super-Mare, EVERYONE in our group came away with great prizes plus lots of smaller stuff like keyrings and sweets. And THAT is how it should be done.
Shame on you Hollywood Bowl.

Refreshments- Completely overpriced.
翻译:好吧,保龄球还不错,孩子们玩得很开心。饮料有点贵,确切地说,是贵得离谱,一小瓶利宾纳就要3英镑!
但真正让我受不了的是游戏厅。
我们一行五人,五个孩子,六个大人。我们大人不停地给孩子们钱,因为他们都特别想从抓娃娃机里抓到毛绒玩具。
这些毛绒玩具都不超过15厘米,也没什么特别的。孩子们玩了很久,一遍又一遍,而且玩得特别好,能把玩具从其他玩具堆里拎出来,但每次抓娃娃机的爪子都会松开。我知道机器的原理,不是每个人都能中奖,但投了那么多钱进去,难道就不能抓到一个吗?这些机器的设置太差劲了,抓到奖的概率可能只有百分之一,甚至更少!
五个失望的孩子,他们至少往那台机器里投了20英镑,结果一个玩具都没抽到,而那些玩具每个可能都不到1英镑!难道不应该把中奖率调高一点吗?哪怕这意味着降低玩具的质量,这样你们也能赚到宝贵的利润!
最近我们去了一趟韦斯顿-苏珀-梅尔,我们团里每个人都赢得了丰厚的奖品,还有很多小玩意儿,比如钥匙扣和糖果。这才是正确的做法。
好莱坞保龄球馆,你们太让人失望了。
