Bowling in St Petersburg: where to play, what a lane costs on weekdays and at weekends, and where it's unlimited till dawn

In autumn, bowling becomes the go-to evening out for groups again: it's warm and bright, you can play until midnight and never step out into the rain. But in St Petersburg it works in different ways: some places charge for a lane by the hour, some by the minute, and at one bowling is included in a single entry ticket along with all the other attractions. That decides what's best value — for a couple, a group of six or students staying all night.

On 19 October 2026 we checked four places on their own websites and on Yandex Maps: Brooklyn Bowl, Golden Strike, MazaPark and Pit-Stop Revo. Below are addresses and directions, opening hours, weekday and weekend prices, how many players a lane takes and what the deal is with shoes. Prices and offers change, so check the website before you go.

🎳 MazaPark: unlimited bowling until 6 am

The most unusual format is MazaPark, an entertainment park with a single ticket. You pay for entry and then bowl as much as you like, along with billiards, laser tag, air hockey, a roller rink and other attractions. The park stays open until 6:00 in the morning.

St Petersburg has two MazaParks, both in Kontinent shopping centres. At 30/32 Bukharestskaya Street (4th floor, Mezhdunarodnaya metro) there are 38 Brunswick lanes, which the park calls the biggest bowling alley in the city. The standard ticket here costs 2,800 roubles, or 1,900 for schoolchildren and students. At 14 Baykonurskaya Street (3rd floor, Primorsky district) there are 28 lanes, four of them with bumpers for children and beginners; the ticket is 3,000 roubles, or 2,200 for schoolchildren and students.

From 1 to 8 people can play on a lane, a session lasts one hour, and lanes can be booked online or by phone. Shoes are free, and street shoes aren't allowed on the lanes. Young children (under 6 or 7, depending on the park) may play only with adults.

Best for: a group that wants to spend the whole evening in one place without watching the clock. If you only want an hour of bowling, a 2,800–3,000-rouble ticket per person costs more than an hourly lane shared by six.

🍔 Brooklyn Bowl: hourly lanes with a restaurant

Brooklyn Bowl is a bowling restaurant on the 4th floor of the Malina Mall shopping centre at 24 Industrialny Prospekt. There is no metro nearby: the closest stations are Ladozhskaya, Prospekt Bolshevikov and Novocherkasskaya, and Ladozhskaya is almost 3 km away on the map, so take a bus or a taxi.

A lane costs from 1,490 roubles an hour on weekdays before 18:00, from 2,090 roubles on weekday evenings and 2,990 roubles at weekends. Every Tuesday (except holidays) until 18:00 you can play two hours free if you pay a 2,990-rouble deposit towards food and drinks. Shoe hire and balls are included in the lane price; food and drinks are extra.

The maximum booking is two hours, and you can extend if the lane is free. For children there are lighter balls, shoes from Russian size 23 and bumpers — for children under 10 only. It is open until about midnight every day and opens around noon on Mondays.

⏱ Golden Strike: pay only for the minutes you play

Golden Strike is a restaurant with bowling in the Gulliver shopping centre at 7V Torfyanaya Doroga (4th floor), right by Staraya Derevnya metro. Its selling point is per-minute billing: 39 roubles a minute (2,340 roubles an hour) Monday to Thursday and 48 roubles a minute (2,880 roubles an hour) Friday to Sunday. It is open from 11:00 to 23:00.

Per-minute billing pays off when the game moves quickly: two or three people will finish a game well within an hour and won't pay for idle time. The rate covers one lane and no more than six guests; for bigger groups or several lanes, terms are agreed by phone. The website says nothing about shoes, so ask when you book.

🏎 Pit-Stop Revo: bowling plus karting

The Pit-Stop karting chain has opened a centre at 5 Mebelnaya Street, a 900 m walk from the same Staraya Derevnya metro, with karting, bowling and billiards. It is open daily from 12:00 to 23:00, and lanes are booked through a form on the website. The club's price list gives bowling at 1,700 roubles Monday to Thursday and 2,200 roubles Friday to Sunday; the website doesn't say for how long, so ask when you book. It's a handy choice for a group where some want to drive and others to bowl — see our St Petersburg karting guide for races and prices.

💸 When it's cheaper and how much to budget

The cheapest time is weekday daytime: at Brooklyn Bowl a lane before 18:00 costs almost a third less than in the evening. Fridays, weekends and evenings are peak time, so book a couple of days ahead.

A game takes on average 15–20 minutes per player — that's MazaPark's estimate — so a group of four to six plays for about an hour to an hour and a half. An example for six people on a weekday evening: two hours at Brooklyn Bowl cost 4,180 roubles, around 700 roubles each; two hours at Golden Strike cost 4,680 roubles, around 780 each. At MazaPark the same six would pay 2,800–3,000 roubles each, but get the whole park until morning.

🧭 Good to know

• Book a lane in advance, especially for Fridays and weekends: all four places take bookings by phone or online.
• Shoes: included at Brooklyn Bowl and MazaPark, and street shoes aren't allowed on the lanes. Bring your own socks.
• Wear anything comfortable — there's no dress code; pick a ball by weight: the number on it is its weight in pounds.
• Staff speak mostly Russian, and international bank cards don't work in Russia, so plan how you'll pay before you go.
• Shooting ranges and escape rooms are separate activities; for a team game without balls, see our guide to escape rooms and immersive theatre.
• Not for you if you want a quiet evening — bowling restaurants and parks are loud, and crowded at weekends.

The beauty of bowling is that you don't need to be good at it: within half an hour everyone has a strike to boast about, and the rain outside stops mattering. Checked on 19 October 2026 against the websites of Brooklyn Bowl, Golden Strike, MazaPark and the Pit-Stop chain, and Yandex Maps.
