The bowling alley at the 'El Silo' Youth and Sports Centre is set to open on 19 November, coinciding with the full operational launch of the facility. This announcement was made by representatives from the company 'Animarte Albacete', Israel Martínez Díaz and Juan Antonio Aroca Romero, alongside the local councillor for Sports, Javier Escribano, and the councillor for Education and Youth, Juan José Carrilero.
Prior to the official opening, an open day will take place on 18 November from 18:00 to 21:00, allowing the public to explore the facilities and experience various services, including the bowling alley, gaming area, and virtual reality experiences.
The centre offers a range of amenities, including a multi-sport court, video game zone, meeting rooms, recreational spaces, and a bowling alley, as well as a café, tapas bar, pizzeria, and hamburger restaurant. Events such as birthday parties, tournaments, competitions, workshops, themed parties, and activities linked to various calendar dates will also be organised.
Animarte has set a general fee of €6 per bowling game and €5 for the use of virtual reality headsets. For children's birthday parties, the cost will be €13 per participant, which includes one hour of bowling, access to various play areas, and a snack.
The centre's operating hours will be from Wednesday to Sunday, with Wednesday and Thursday opening from 16:30 to 22:00, Fridays from 16:30 to 01:00, Saturdays from 11:00 to 01:00, and Sundays from 11:00 to 23:00. These hours may be adjusted based on the needs of young users.
Additionally, the local council will introduce the 'El Silo' Youth Card, aimed at individuals aged 12 to 18, priced at €20 per semester. This card will provide discounts on services and activities at the centre, such as a reduced rate of €5 per bowling game, free access to the gaming room, and discounts on virtual reality experiences, workshops, and events, with a minimum reduction of 15% compared to standard rates.
Applications for the card can be made through the municipal website via a form that requires parental or guardian consent. Payment can be made through Bizum or card, and collection will occur at the centre's offices. The management of activities will be coordinated between Animarte and the local council, incorporating both company-organised events and those promoted by the municipal Youth department, some of which will be free while others will incur fees.
