Bowling near the train station or the cruise port
Galaxy Park pitches its Vialia alley as a quick plan before catching a train: it is inside the shopping centre at María Zambrano station, where long-distance and commuter trains stop. Its Muelle Uno alley sits on the port promenade; for a cruise call, how long you have ashore is in the Malaga cruise stopover.
Entry to both is free and there is no booking: you ask at the counter or pay at the digital kiosk. From the airport, the C1 commuter train reaches María Zambrano in about 8 minutes for 1.80 euros, covered in Malaga airport to the city centre. Bags can be left at the station, explained in Malaga luggage storage.

Galaxy Park charges 5 euros a game per person at Vialia and 8 at Muelle Uno, and warns that prices can vary by date. Bowling 80 lists 5 euros on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 3.50 on Wednesday and 6 at weekends and on holidays, and DiverNostrum 6 on weekdays and 8 on Saturday and Sunday. Neither of those two states whether the price is per person, so confirm at the desk.

Booking, shoes and opening hours

Its online system shows no slots on Wednesdays. DiverNostrum opens Monday to Thursday from 4pm to 10pm and from 11am on Saturday, and takes no lane bookings; a beer there costs 2 euros. Spanish dinner starts late, so an evening game fits before it, as explained in Malaga meal times. Galaxy Park does not publish its hours on its website.
Trampoline parks for children
Altitude Málaga, Carretera Azucarera-Intelhorce 18, charges 11 euros an hour Monday to Thursday and 13 at weekends; children under 7 must jump with an adult, who goes free if not jumping.

Where the alleys are
Galaxy Park Vialia has the Malaga metro at its door, and Muelle Uno is a walk from the old town along the port. Bowling 80, DiverNostrum and the trampoline parks are on the industrial estates to the west, best reached by taxi or city bus, as explained in getting around Malaga.
A bowling alley announced by Sould Park next to the Plaza Mayor shopping centre still shows “próxima inauguración”, opening soon, on its website. For other indoor plans, see escape rooms in Málaga, cinema in English in Málaga and Málaga when it rains.
