Funk lanes in an Irishtown activity hub
Bowling is the newest attraction at Elevate, an indoor activity centre in Irishtown, Athlone, where electric go-karting, laser tag, axe throwing, mini golf, interactive darts and an arcade share the floor. Funk Bowling, which supplied the eight lanes, published its case study on the installation in June 2025: the lanes run on string pinsetters with Funk's Platform scoring, while Elevate's own team designed the lighting.
Lanes are sold by time rather than by game, for up to six players each, and booking online knocks roughly 10% off the walk-in price. For adult groups there is a VIP option that reserves two private lanes for an hour with soft drinks and popcorn, for up to 12 people aged 18 and over. Elevate lists bowling among the activities that are fully accessible to wheelchair users, and accessible toilets are available.
Centre hours, seven days a week
These are the centre's hours; Elevate does not publish separate bowling times. Karting starts later on weekdays, at 14:00.
