Kindest people I've come across in a long time. I went and asked if I could borrow a ball for work for a few days very randomly. They went above and beyond to help me. Really appreciate it. Next I'm in Manchester with my kids will definitely pop in. Thanks

Stephen was incredibly helpful during my visit to Namco Funscape. I had an issue with my member cards, and he sorted everything out quickly and professionally. He was friendly, patient, and really went the extra mile to make sure the problem was resolved.

Went here today for my birthday with my Mum and Dad using the wristband (at the time of this review) to get the bowling for £5 per person. Great location in the heart of The Trafford Centre with friendly and professional staff, lots of arcade games and a fantastic bowling alley :) Highly recommended!
