Need an easy, air-conditioned way to keep the kids happy on a hot Jeddah afternoon? Bowling is one of the simplest family wins in the city — most centers sit right inside big malls like Red Sea Mall and Le Prestige Mall, run late into the night, and mix ten-pin lanes with arcades, billiards and cafés so everyone finds something to do. Here's your practical guide to the best bowling alleys and entertainment centers in Jeddah for families, with real locations, hours and SAR prices where they're published.
Where to go bowling with the family in Jeddah
Jeddah's bowling scene stretches from the waterfront district of Ash Shati down to Al Faisaliyyah and Al Mohammadiyyah. Because most venues sit inside malls, you get air-conditioning, easy parking and food courts on the doorstep — ideal when you're out with young children. Many centers open in the afternoon and run past midnight, so a post-dinner game is very doable, especially at the weekend.
Below we've grouped the standout spots by what they do best, from full-scale entertainment complexes to no-frills lanes.
The best bowling alleys and entertainment centers in Jeddah
The DockX — Red Sea Mall
One of Jeddah's most talked-about family entertainment centers, The DockX sits inside Red Sea Mall in Ash Shati. Alongside bowling-style play it packs in a wide mix of indoor games and activities, making it a strong choice for mixed-age families. It's open daily from 2:00 PM to midnight, and one of its best deals is a posted Wednesday all-day play offer at around SAR 149 — good value if you plan to make an afternoon of it.
Carttel Entertainment — Le Prestige Mall, Ash Shati
On King Abdul Aziz Road in Ash Shati, Carttel Entertainment inside Le Prestige Mall pairs bowling with a broad line-up of games. It runs daily from 4:00 PM to 1:00 AM, which suits later-evening outings. Look out for its Tuesday ladies-night package at around SAR 159, which typically bundles two games, one meal and one beverage — handy if the mums want their own night out.
Jeddah Lanes Bowling Center — Al-Hamra'a
If you want a dedicated bowling experience rather than a full arcade complex, Jeddah Lanes Bowling Center in Al-Hamra'a is the classic pick. It offers ten-pin bowling plus snooker, table soccer, ping pong and a café. Its hours are unusually generous — daily 7:00 AM to 5:00 AM, and Friday from 2:00 PM to 5:00 AM — so this is your go-to for a very late or very early game.
The B Club — Serafi Mega Mall, Al Faisaliyyah
Inside Serafi Mega Mall in Al Faisaliyyah, The B Club is one of the most budget-friendly options in the city. Bowling starts from around SAR 45 per person, with billiards and table tennis each from around SAR 35. It's open 4:00 PM to midnight, making it an easy stop after school or before dinner.
Funtimes — Red Sea Mall
Also in Red Sea Mall, Funtimes is a full family entertainment center where bowling is just one of the attractions. Entry is typically around SAR 60 per adult and SAR 40 per child, so it's easy to keep several kids entertained for the price of one ticket. Being in the same mall as The DockX, it's convenient to check both if you're already in Ash Shati.
Lucky Roll — Al Mohammadiyyah
On Ibrahim Al-Anqari in Al Mohammadiyyah, Lucky Roll is an entertainment center built around its bowling lanes. It keeps late hours — daily 4:00 PM to 4:00 AM — so it's another solid choice for night owls and bigger groups who want to play into the small hours.
Yalla Bowling, Funkey Land, Ice Land & Jump Up
A few more names round out the list. Each is worth a quick call ahead to confirm current pricing and hours before you go:
- Yalla Bowling — at Jeddah Town Square, a straightforward bowling stop inside a busy leisure destination.
- Funkey Land — inside Al-Tahlia Mall, a family spot with bowling lanes for children and adults alike.
- Ice Land — on Prince Sultan Street, offering bowling, billiards and video games under one roof.
- Jump Up / The Round — a family indoor fun center in Jeddah combining bowling with arcade activities; confirm the exact mall when you book.
How much does bowling cost in Jeddah?
Prices vary by venue and whether you're paying As a rough guide based on what's currently published:
- Per person / per game — bowling from around SAR 45 at The B Club, with billiards and table tennis from around SAR 35.
- Entry-style pricing — around SAR 60 per adult and SAR 40 per child at Funtimes in Red Sea Mall.
- Day-play offers — around SAR 149 for The DockX's Wednesday all-day play.
- Package deals — around SAR 159 for Carttel's Tuesday package (two games, one meal, one beverage).

Tips for a smooth family bowling trip
- Go early or midweek. Weekend evenings fill up fast, especially in Red Sea Mall. Weekday afternoons are quieter and cheaper.
- Ask for bumpers and lightweight balls if you're bringing young children — most centers keep them for junior players.
- Look for weekday offers. The DockX's Wednesday and Carttel's Tuesday deals can noticeably cut the cost of a family outing.
- Use Careem or Uber for the late-night venues. Places like Jeddah Lanes and Lucky Roll run past 4:00 AM — a ride home beats hunting for parking after midnight.
- Combine it with dinner. Mall-based centers put food courts and restaurants a few steps away, so you can make it a full evening out.
