The Red Dragon Centre

I've becoming here since it first opened in 1997 and although there's been a lot of changes it's still a good place to come for a film, bowling or a simple bite to eat. There are a couple of empty units but still plenty of food options. 6 hours free parking, when you buy something in the centre, is certainly welcome and it's a short stroll to the Cardiff Bay basin. One moan is the state of the rear entrance, rubbish and weeds everywhere!

I had a great time going here when I went on a trip to Cardiff with my school! The cinema was very spacious and large, up until then I'd never seen such a giant screen! I throughly enjoyed bowling here and I was charmed by the decorations and the lights! Excellent place to visit if you're looking for a nice place to watch a movie or relax and bowl! I have no problems with this place besides the prices! The cinema and bowling alley charge quite high prices for food, drinks and other items from what I've seen! Other than that it was a very satisfactory visit!

Love this place. It's got different types of restaurants, pubs, bowling alley with a small arcade, red dragon radio base and an Odeon cinema, which has an I Max screen. Loads of parking area with disabled parking. Very popular place.

Its A bit dated in there and the kids only get 60 seconds on a game at £1 at a time and then off of it and there upset you'd want to have a good £40 pounds just for games for to put a smile on there faces if it was a 5 minute thing on each game I wouldn't mind but it's crazy for the poor kids ! Then it's 30 minutes on the bowling! Not good you'd want ahour at least in the place still looks the same as it did 15 years ago when I first went in there
It needs modernising ASAP
My grandkids enjoyed it but it could have been better ! All in all it passed a fee hours away with my grandkids

The place is clean and tidy and has multiple businesses onsite. There are many choices on food outlets, such as Indian, Chinese and Burger restaurant. A place to go bowling and places to have a quiet drink and also a casino. The place is well worth visiting and going to see a film in the Odeon.

Lots of restaurants inside, best value is the Greene King, Tavern if you need lots of drink. Otherwise the Chinese buffet is the good choice. The Japanese buffet is by the gate. Drinks are pricey though.

Perfect cinema experience (almost, as staff forgot to prepare one food order), beautiful place, clean and tidy. However as we came out of main entrance, 2 people were smoking right in front of entrance less than 2 meters away from door. Are there designated smoking areas for such public places?

We often use this location whenever we're staying at the Travelodge next door. With a little bit of everything, it's nice and easy to grab a bit to eat or have a few drinks. Or use the Arcade and watch a movie with the family on those cold and rainy days. Sadly on our last visit, the choice of eateries seemed to be reduced by either being closed or an empty unit.
