Things to Do  

Bowling In Ampang

Bix10 140 reviews

Have a game or two if you're in Ampang. It's one the few places that you can bowl in this area. There aren't many. If I'm not mistaken, there are only two places here. This one is a pretty decent place so it should be nice.

It's located in a small shopping mall known as 'Ampang Point.' The bowling alley is known as Ampang Superbowl.
