Locals have been asking for this since the previous venue closed in 2019, and we’re proud to deliver it in the most exciting way possible,” says Kane Fong, General Manager of Timezone & Zone Bowling Australia. “Timezone Knox has always had a passionate following, but now we’re levelling up the entire experience.”

“This is entertainment the way it should be – inclusive, effortless, and seriously fun,” says Kane Fong. “We’ve built this venue with our guests front of mind, and we can’t wait to welcome Baysiders and guests to Timezone & Zone Bowling Southland.”
