Its official opening hours are:

The official website does not currently publish the standard bowling rate. A recent local guide lists bowling at QAR 25 per person from Sunday to Wednesday and QAR 40 from Thursday to Saturday, but visitors should confirm the current price before playing.
Arcade games and other activities are charged separately. The amount required will depend on the games, attractions and any promotional packages available during your visit.
Megapolis is a convenient option for groups who want to combine bowling with several other activities without moving between venues.
300 Bowling Center, B Square Mall and J Mall
300 Bowling Center currently operates branches at B Square Mall and J Mall. The previously stated Ezdan Mall Al Gharrafa location could not be verified and has been removed.
Recent July 2026 listings show the following bowling prices:
- B Square Mall: QAR 25 per person
- J Mall: QAR 15 per person
Current business listings show both branches operating from approximately 10 am to 3 am daily, although hours should be confirmed with the chosen branch before travelling.
Ask the counter whether bowling shoes and socks are included, whether the rate is per game or for a timed lane, and whether reservations are accepted during busy evening periods.
Gondolania, Villaggio Mall
Gondolania is a large indoor theme park inside Villaggio Mall. In addition to bowling, it offers an ice rink, rides, go-karting, laser games and other family attractions.
The official bowling price is:
- QAR 25 per person per game
Bowling hours are:
- Sunday to Wednesday: 10 am to 11 pm
- Thursday and Saturday: 10 am to midnight
- Friday: 1 pm to midnight
The venue accepts group and school bookings. Contact the booking office in advance if you are planning a birthday, school outing or large gathering.
Gondolania works particularly well for families with different interests, as some visitors can bowl while others explore the theme park or ice rink.
Qatar Bowling Center, Al Bidda
Qatar Bowling Center is operated by the Qatar Bowling Federation and has 32 bowling lanes, including four bumper lanes for children. It regularly hosts national and international competitions but is also open for public play.
Current official prices are:
- Sunday to Thursday, 10 am to 2 pm: QAR 8 per person per game

- Saturday: 10 am to midnight
Groups of fewer than ten people are accepted on a first-come, first-served walk-in basis. Larger groups should contact the centre about the applicable booking arrangements.
Tournaments and league events can limit the number of lanes available to the public, so check the calendar before making a special trip.
The centre also has billiards, snooker, table tennis, mini football, a restaurant and a bowling equipment shop.
Bowling Center at Multaqa, Education City
The bowling centre is located inside Multaqa, the Education City Student Center in Al Rayyan.
A recent July 2026 local guide lists the following prices:
- General visitors: QAR 15 per person
- Qatar Foundation staff and dependants: QAR 10 per person
- Qatar Foundation students: QAR 5 per person
However, Qatar Foundation’s current official pages do not publish a separate bowling price list or bowling-specific public schedule. The Multaqa building itself is generally listed as open daily from 6 am to 10 pm, but this should not be treated as confirmation that the bowling lanes operate throughout those hours.
Contact the Multaqa information desk on 44540284 before visiting to confirm public access, current rates and lane availability.
This is a useful option for Education City students, staff and nearby residents, but checking ahead is particularly important for outside visitors and groups.
Al Khor Bowling Center
Al Khor Bowling Center is located at Down Town Souq in Al Khor, making it a practical option for residents in northern Qatar.
The venue offers more than bowling. Its entertainment facilities include billiards, PlayStation games, a car simulator, air hockey, foosball and carrom, along with a café.
Official opening hours are:
- Saturday to Wednesday: 2 pm to midnight
- Thursday and Friday: 2 pm to 1 am
Monday is promoted by the centre as Ladies’ Day.
A recent local guide lists the first bowling game at QAR 25, with reduced prices for additional consecutive games. As these prices are not currently displayed on the centre’s official website, confirm the rate and conditions before playing.
Contact the venue on 66497779 for current prices, reservations and group enquiries.
Trocadéro Theme Park, Place Vendôme
Trocadéro is an indoor theme park at Place Vendôme in Lusail. It combines Troca Bowling with arcade games, rides, virtual reality, Mini Le Mans indoor go-karting and TrocaLaser.
Official opening hours are:
- Saturday to Wednesday: 10 am to 11 pm
- Thursday: 10 am to midnight
- Friday: 10 am to 11:30 am and 1 pm to midnight
A recent July 2026 local guide lists Troca Bowling at QAR 30 per game. However, the official attraction page currently displays an incomplete QAR 0 price, so visitors should confirm the actual charge at the information desk before loading credit or joining the queue.
Trocadéro is a strong choice for mixed-age groups because visitors can combine bowling with karting, laser tag, rides and arcade games in one location.

Tips for a bowling or arcade outing
Confirm what the price covers: Ask whether the advertised amount is per person, per game, per hour or per lane.
Check lane availability: Competitions, leagues, birthday parties and private events can reduce the number of public lanes.
Bring socks: Some venues include bowling shoes but require visitors to wear socks. Socks may be sold separately.
Ask about children’s equipment: Bumper lanes and lightweight balls are not necessarily available at every venue or on every lane.
Check additional attraction restrictions: Go-karting, laser tag, rides and virtual-reality activities may have age, height or weight requirements.
Confirm the payment system: Arcade venues may use rechargeable cards or digital credits, while bowling may be paid separately at the counter.
Compare weekday and weekend rates: Some venues charge more during weekends or offer discounted daytime games.
Contact the venue when visiting as a group: Large groups, birthday parties and school visits may require advance arrangements.
