Ground-floor lanes at Northland

Northland Shopping Centre in Preston has more than 4,000 parking spaces spread over six car parks, entered from Murray Road or Wood Street. For Timezone, on the ground level, the underground Purple car park is the one to choose.

Bowling uses short lanes and matching short-lane balls sized for younger players; no lane total is published. Elsewhere in the venue are laser tag, bumper cars, ColourGrid, VR games, plush-filled claws and a prize vault with tech, lollies and gifts, while a party space takes birthday and corporate bookings.

Bus routes 517, 555 and 556 stop at Northland on Murray Road, which the operator puts at around 12 minutes' walk from the centre; Public Transport Victoria's planner and the shopping centre's own interactive directions help with the rest. Most nights end at 10pm, with an extra hour on Friday and Saturday, and the doors open at 9am on Saturday and Sunday.
