Questions
Connacht bowling questions
How many lanes does The Planet Galway have?
Sixteen, after the refurbishment completed before its November reopening, according to the operator's website.
Are shoes included at Mayo Leisure Point?
Yes. The lane prices published by Mayo Leisure Point in November 2026 include shoe hire.
Is there bowling in Carrick-on-Shannon?
We could not confirm it. The Leitrim Tourism listing for Carrick LeisureZone does not mention bowling, so it has no listing here until a current source does.
Three centres, three ways of paying
The Planet at Galway Shopping Centre reopened in November after a refurbishment with 16 lanes, a sports bar and Benny's burgers; adults pay €10 a game and lanes can be booked online. Mayo Leisure Point in Castlebar charges by the lane, €28 for 30 minutes off-peak with shoes included, and runs leagues from September to May beside a seven-screen cinema.
Roscommon Leisure Zone, the Ros Bowl, has six bumper lanes in Cluain Fraoigh Business Park, with soft play and a gym in the same building and online booking at €25 for half an hour.
What is not on the list
Two other names come up in older guides. Carrick LeisureZone at the Mulvey Centre in Carrick-on-Shannon is left out because the current tourism listing does not mention bowling and no other recent source does. City Limits in Oranmore has reports of closure and no documented reopening.
