Enjoy Hunstanton's only full-size bowling alley plus video games, traditional amusements, and ice cream across three levels of family fun.

Hunstanton Pier Family Entertainment Centre is a vibrant indoor venue located on Hunstanton's picturesque promenade, offering three levels of entertainment for families visiting the popular Norfolk seaside resort. The centre features Hunstanton's only full-size bowling alley, providing a classic recreational activity for all ages and skill levels. Beyond bowling, visitors can enjoy the latest video games and traditional amusement machines including coin push games, toy grabbers, and fruit machines, alongside family-friendly prize games. The venue also offers food and refreshments including ice cream and other snacks available both inside and on the outdoor green area. The entertainment centre pays historic tribute to the original Victorian Hunstanton Pier, which opened in 1870 and was once regarded as one of the East Coast's finest. While the historic pier was destroyed by storms in 1978 and fire in 2002, this modern family venue recreates the traditional seaside fun that visitors enjoyed on the pier generations ago. Open seven days a week with extended hours during peak season (8am-midnight in summer, 9am-10pm in winter), Hunstanton Pier is an essential stop for families seeking indoor entertainment regardless of weather, perfectly complementing visits to the nearby beaches, cliffs, and water sports facilities that make Hunstanton a brilliant family destination.

This arcade is borderline criminal / fraudulent. We all know and accept that it has been made harder to win a teddy or a key ring over the years put if these machines, but this place is exceptionally greedy and defrauding. On the two pence machines there is a lipped platform of two pence coins glued in so the two pences have to go over it. The small prizes are stuck down with magnets and don’t move. It is near on impossible to win anything. Usually in an arcade you see kids who have won a few cheap keyrings or a teddy but not here. Pure greed. Takes the fun out of it when everything is so rigged. And do not get me started on the ‘tickets’. I saw one kid who had 350 tickets get a ‘ring pop’. This place is a total scam. There is enough profit to be made on these machines without rigging them so badly.

Good selection of games but the value of the tickets you win is pretty terrible - 2700 will get you a handful of sweets or a cheap toy.

Lights and noise everywhere, really happy place. Lots to do. Came here in search of clown ball throwing game and found it and loved it. The place is huge, across two floors including bowling lanes top floor. Dog friendly with lovely helpful staff.

Nice place but unfortunately the ticket machine that exchange payout from cash fruit machines didn't work. So stood about 15mins at counter no staff went looking for stall then went upstairs to speak to guy up there. To be told he can't help and to go back downstairs and find someone. Unfortunately as a person with mobility issues this was very tiring. Spent in total over 30mins trying to get it sorted.
