February 2, 2022

Kingpin will be opening the doors of its first international social entertainment centre in Queenstown, New Zealand on 10th February, with the 3000 square metre, two level Kingpin complex offering breath-taking panoramic views over the CBD, Lake Wakatipu and the Skyline Gondola.

Kingpin is part of TEEG, the international entertainment and education group that also operates Timezone and Zone Bowling with 16 venues already across New Zealand, and 310 venues globally.

Kingpin Queenstown features over eight different attractions and activities, paired with two bars and a full-service restaurant and cafe. The venue caters for a wide range of audiences and occasions including family fun throughout the day, special occasions with friends and young socials partying until 1am on the weekends.

The attractions and activities on offer include 10 bowling lanes, two escape rooms, three karaoke rooms, 120 arcade games, multiple cutting-edge Virtual Reality experiences, table tennis, pool tables, electronic darts, a winners vault, live music and more. When it’s time to rest from the fun, visitors can choose to sit back and relax in the café, restaurant, bar or the two outdoor chillout zones with fireplaces and luxurious lounge-style seating.

Each Kingpin venue is designed with the local community and environment in mind and as such the Queenstown venue was designed by award-winning architects Guru Projects inspired by a luxury ski-lodge aesthetic, acknowledging the venue’s alpine surroundings.

Belinda Falzon, Kingpin Chief Executive notes “Kingpin is housed in the brand new custom-built development, Upper Village, which sits in a prestigious position on the north-eastern side of Brecon Street Queenstown. The complex is an exciting new attraction for the area and joins a stellar line-up of entertainment offerings including The Bavarian, El Camino, and Max Brenner.”

James Woodbridge, General Manager TEEG New Zealand advises “we have invested in the latest entertainment and most advanced technology, created a gourmet menu of delicious food and cocktails and we’ve worked with leading architects and builders to create a majestic environment for people to unwind, have fun and create ever-lasting memories with their friends, family and colleagues.

“With the precinct being located only 400 metres from the Town Centre and Lake Wakatipu, and just 150 metres from the Skyline Gondola entrance, Kingpin is perfectly positioned to become a key ingredient of the Queenstown experience for both locals and visitors.”

Falzon added “we are excited to introduce Kingpin to our guests in Queenstown, who will be the first to experience the premium entertainment hub outside of Australia, as we continue to explore expansion opportunities internationally.”

Queenstown is Kingpin's first location outside of Australia and the multi-attraction venue will create over 100 local jobs in the area.
