BIG4 parks are well-known for their amazing innovations for guests.
We’ve seen the introduction of day spas and diners and a whole assortment of weird and wonderful accommodation – more at the bottom of this article.
And just last year, a holiday park in Port Stephens, NSW has created an industry first by opening a ten-pin bowling alley.
That’s right. A bowling alley. In the park.
We spoke to the team at BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Soldiers Point to learn all about this striking feature.
We were looking for another all-weather attraction at the park that was family friendly and would appeal to kids of all ages.
We looked at popular activities people undertake within the school holidays, such as going to the movies and visiting the local pool.
We currently cater to those experiences at Soldiers Point. Then, we thought about ten-pin bowling…
It took a month from start to finish with a few added touches, including neon lights to give the space increased excitement.
There are two lanes. The facility comes with a range of bowling games and challenges, which makes it really fun for all ages.
They love the new addition to the park. A lot of guests visit us for the many activities that can be experienced inside the park – even when the weather is a bit wet.
Yes, they simply book in for a session at reception.
Soldiers Point is perfect for young families looking to get away and unwind but who don’t want to load kids in and out of the car for every activity.
We are the ultimate all-weather park with indoor and outdoor facilities that include:
BIG4 parks throughout Australia are known for their distinctive amenities, some of which have been pioneering within the industry. They include:
In 2017, BIG4 Wallaga Lake in South Coast NSW became the first Australian holiday park to install a microbrewery within its boundaries.
BIG4 Renmark in SA revolutionised the holiday experience for guests with autism, and their families, when it opened a sensory room in 2018. Since then, several other BIG4 parks have created similar facilities.
BIG4 Bendigo Marong in VIC added this interactive indoor feature to its impressive lineup of guest offerings in 2021, making it a first in the Australian holiday-park sector.
BIG4 Conway Beach in QLD’s Whitsundays region has a wonderful 1950s-style American diner among a raft of entertainment options for guests.
In 2022, BIG4 Yarra Valley in Healesville, VIC converted a pair of circa 1930s Melbourne trams into a unique and stylish accommodation option.
