Overview
The Bowling Barn is Big Bear's go-to destination for indoor family entertainment, offering a fun and casual atmosphere that's perfect for rainy days, snowy evenings, or anytime you want a break from outdoor activities. The facility features 16 well-maintained lanes with state-of-the-art automatic scoring, bumper rails for young bowlers, and lightweight balls for kids.
Beyond bowling, the Bowling Barn offers a full arcade room packed with classic and modern video games. Alley Oops, the on-site sports bar, keeps grown-ups happy with cold beers and TVs showing the game, while a full-service grill serves up pizza, nachos, burgers, and other comfort food favorites. The combination of activities makes it easy for everyone in the group to find something they enjoy.
The Bowling Barn is especially popular during Big Bear's winter season, when it provides a warm and entertaining refuge after a day on the slopes. Cosmic bowling nights feature black lights, music, and a party atmosphere that's fun for all ages. Kids bowl free during summer (10 AM – 4 PM), and if you reserve a lane for an hour, you get a bonus half hour free. Group packages and party reservations are available, making it a popular choice for birthday celebrations and group gatherings.
