Glow bowling, laser maze at The Barn
low bowling, Laser Maze, full bar,
great food and video games galore.
There’s always a party each day— Gand night—at the Bowling Barn!
The lights come on at the Barn—black
lights, that is—weekends after 2 p.m.,
weeknights at 8:30 to create mesmerizing
bowling excitement. Glow Bowling offers
an experience that’s downright surreal as
neon balls glow brightly illuminated by the
black lights, and players step out of the
shadows to roll down 16 lanes of excitement.
Most of the house bowling balls glow
under the lights, in dazzling orange, blue,
green and red. By day these balls look completely
normal, but once the black lights
kick on they glow to life. Filling the racks
in all the incandescent colors of the rainbow,
they add a psychedelic touch to bowling
to be sure.
The Bowling Barn has high-powered
speakers and amps to kick up the sound
system a few decibels and really get the
party going. There’s also laser lights, dancing
and spinning on the lanes and above
the pins, while a center screen drops down
to play music videos.
The house lights are down and black
lights up for just open play so the emphasis
is on fun, not competition, but state-ofthe-art
scoreboards keep track not only of
pin tallies but also running player handicaps
and even the speed of their rolls. Free

F o r
more fun
head to the
new Laser
Maze for
challenge
t h a t ’ s
straight out
of an action
movie. Enter
the Arena and try to break into the vault
on the other side of the room by avoiding
countless crisscrossing beams of light, accented
by fog to make them stand out.
Crawl, jump, slide, roll, whatever it takes
to cross the obstacle course of light.
Hurry...the clock is ticking!
Break a beam and the penalty isn’t
death like in the movies, just time added
to your score. Once across hold your hand
on the master key, money and red hand
scanner to complete the mission. Takes true
Ninja skills and while the game is easy to
learn, it’s impossible to master with four
different skill levels to choose from.
Beam Buster in contrast sees players
trying to bust each laser beam before time
runs out. Both games are fun for the whole
family with tops scores posted outside the
arena. Even record your experience on
Big Bear Today
Glow bowling and Laser Maze (below left) light up
the Bowling Barn
video for just a buck! Each game is $3 for
single player or $6 for two.
So much excitement works up powerful
hunger and thirst. Satisfy both at
Bowling Barn with great food like barbecue
chicken pizza, street tacos, chicken
wraps, flaming hot onion rings and carne
asada fries. Then head to Alley Oops Sports
Bar where big screen high resolution TVs
show all the games and there’s full cocktail
service including hot winter drinks like
Peppermint Patty, Irish or Keoke Coffee.
Or cool off with favorites like the Lucky
Spare, Fuzzy Navel, Barn Bloody and
more.
There’s a myriad of video and action
games at Bowling Barn too, like Hoop Fever,
pool tables, air hockey and many more.
Bowling Barn is at 40625 Big Bear
Blvd. (enter on Bonanza). Call 878-BOWL.
