FriBowling and Laser District
An outing that pleases children and teens alike, right in the heart of Fribourg? At FriBowling, you play round after round of bowling, aim true at darts or pool, then dive into the maze of the Laser District. Enough to fill an afternoon or an evening as a family.
Bowling and laser game in the city of Fribourg
Right in the centre of Fribourg, FriBowling brings together twelve bowling lanes, American pool tables, electronic darts, arcade games and a large laser game maze, the Laser District. It is a handy address, easy to reach from the station, for an outing that mixes relaxation and adrenaline. Not to be confused with La Ruche, at the Forum in Granges-Paccot: here you are in the city, in a different venue. You come for an improvised game or to spend several hours moving from one game to another. The place works just as well in the afternoon as in the evening.
What your children will discover
Bowling remains the star: twelve lanes, balls suited to small hands and ramps available for the youngest. The Laser District offers an immersive maze where everyone, vest on their back and laser gun in hand, tries to score points in an atmosphere of lights and smoke. Between two games, the children discover the pool tables, the electronic darts and a range of arcade games. There is something for every taste and every pace.
What you do there and the atmosphere on site
The atmosphere is friendly and lively, typical of a city leisure centre. You book a lane, keep score, laugh at the gutter balls down the lane. The laser game adds a dose of energy, perfect for groups and birthdays. Parents can play with the children or take a break at the bar during a game. In the evening and at the weekend, it gets busy, so remember to book your lane.
