It was nice but they were very under staffed and the laser tag is way too over priced.

Dissapointing pricing and no response to complaint
My daughter and her friends had a lovely time at Tenpin Dundee for her 10th birthday, and I want to make clear that the staff and the children’s experience were good. My issue is specifically with the pricing and the complete lack of response to my formal complaint.
I booked and paid in advance for 12 children to bowl, then added two games of laser tag for each child. I was charged £16 per child for the laser tag — £192 in total.
When we arrived, I was shocked to see two games of laser tag advertised for £10 per person, with a further discount for bowling customers bringing the price down to just £8 per person per two games.
We were clearly bowling customers. I had already paid for 12 children to bowl and had added laser tag for the exact same 12 children. However, this discounted rate was not available through the online booking system.
This meant that by booking my daughter’s birthday in advance, I paid £192 for something that would have cost £96 at the advertised bowling-customer rate. I effectively paid **£96 more simply for planning ahead and booking online**.
I even checked the online booking system again while at the venue to make sure I hadn’t missed the deal, but it still wasn’t available.
To make matters worse, one child was unable to attend due to illness and, despite knowing more than 24 hours in advance, I was unable to receive a refund because the booking had been made online.
I submitted a formal complaint to Tenpin explaining the situation and asking why customers booking online are unable to access the same discounts available at the venue. I also requested a refund of the £96 difference. **I have received no response at all.**
For a children’s birthday party, booking in advance is necessary to organise invitations and confirm numbers. It seems completely unreasonable that customers who plan ahead and book directly through Tenpin’s own website can end up paying substantially more than customers who simply arrive on the day.
A disappointing experience from a company that should value customers who book and pay in advance. I would still welcome a response from Tenpin and a fair resolution to my complaint.

summer bowling and meal offer - misleading
We took my nephews who were up visiting from London to Ten Pin in Dundee.
We booked for 2 adults and 4 kids.
We booked a summer deal which stated it was bowling for 6 people and it said come with Adult meal.
We chose cheeseburgers for the meal.
The bowling was great but when our food came we noticed that two of the burger meals had 2 burgers in the roll and the other 4 only had single burgers.
When we questioned the staff they said it was because they were junior meals.
When I checked the website and the wording it states adult meals. It does not say anything about junior meals.
We were left a bit disappointed and the staff said they could not do anything about wording on the website.

Dont rely on their app
Great facilities and a fun day out with the kids. Although the table service app is a waste of time as i ordered drinks and after haf an hour went to the bar only to find out they had been missed or served to someone else. Both versions from two different staff seems contradictory. Need to focus on customer care more closely.

Bowling
I went to Tenpin on Sunday 3rd Aug 2026. We had a great time however the female toilets especially were very unclean. The sanitary bins were full and there were dirty used sanitary products on the floor next to the toilet. We played Poole, the only thing that could have made it better was chalk. There could also have been more staff about at points.

We had to wait 10 minutes past our allotted time which I can understand if it is busy but it was inconvenient.
Our lane broke down, the bumpers didn’t rise properly and the balls were stuck at the end of the alley. After pressing the assistance button and waiting 10 minutes as no one arrived to assist, I then had to find someone to look at the issue. It took a further 5- 10 minutes to get the alley working again and by that point my children had lost interest.
This was a really disappointing visit.
The female toilets were disgusting and looked like they had not been attended to or cleaned. There was toilet roll all over the floor and some of it looked like it had been used and left on the floor.
There was also a distinct smell of urine in the main area before we even got close to the toilets.
We have used this before and had a great experience but this time it was really disappointing.
