Alright, parents, brace yourselves because we’re diving into the wild world of teenage summer activities. Forget the boring “let’s go to the beach” or “how about a museum?” suggestions. This summer, we’re talking about gaming. And not the “staring at a screen for hours” kind. We’re talking about the epic, real-life, adrenaline-pumping kind of gaming at Lane7. If you think that sounds too good to be true, well, prepare to be schooled.
- Boosts Physical Activity
Let’s be real, your teen’s idea of a workout is usually just stretching to grab the remote. But at Lane7, they’ll be breaking a sweat with activities like bowling, darts, and mini golf. Sure, it’s not CrossFit, but hey, it’s better than nothing. Plus, you can finally stop feeling guilty about their screen time. - Builds Confidence
Watching your teen master the art of bowling is like witnessing a miracle. One minute they’re throwing gutter balls, the next, they’re hitting strikes and acting like they’re ready for the pro circuit. It’s all about those small victories that make them feel like they can conquer the world—or at least the next lane. - Stress Relief
Teenagers are basically stress factories. School, social media, friends—it’s a lot. But at Lane7, they can channel that angst into something productive. Like hurling a ball down a lane to demolish some pins or focusing all their frustration on hitting a bullseye in darts. It’s therapeutic, trust me. - Encourages Focus and Patience
If your teen’s attention span is shorter than a TikTok video, Lane7’s games will do wonders. Pool and shuffleboard require a level of focus and patience that will make their usual scrolling seem like a joke. Plus, they might actually learn to appreciate the art of taking their time and perfecting a skill. Imagine that! - Quality Family Time
Forget awkward family dinners where everyone is glued to their phones. Lane7 offers a chance for some genuine bonding time. Whether it’s a friendly game of mini golf or teaming up for some arcade games, you’ll create memories (and maybe a few hilarious fails) together. And hey, you might even discover a hidden family talent for shuffleboard. - Social Interaction
Lane7 isn’t just about playing games; it’s about the vibe. The place is buzzing with energy, making it a perfect spot for your teen to meet new people and actually interact with them face-to-face. Revolutionary, right? It’s a chance to develop those social skills beyond typing “LOL” in a chat.
Why Lane7?
So, why Lane7? Because it’s not just a place; it’s an experience. And let’s face it, your teen needs some cool points this summer. Lane7 has locations in most cities and some towns (no offence towns, we’re coming!), and we regularly host events and competitions. This summer, we’re even doing the Lane7 Olympics. Yes, you heard right—your teen could become a Lane7 champion. And who doesn’t want that on their resume?
Whether it’s a family day out, a birthday bash, or just a random Wednesday, Lane7 caters to all. They have packages for groups, ensuring your visit is memorable—and not just because your teen finally put down their phone.
Pro Tip: Most Lane7 venues are over 18s only after 7 pm, except Edinburgh, which stretches the fun until 10 pm. So plan accordingly, unless you want to be that parent who has to explain to their teen why you’re suddenly not cool enough to stay.
Sounds like a blast, right? So, what are you waiting for? Book now and prepare to become the coolest parent ever (at least for a day).
