Big Bear Today April 2019

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
add sa psychedelic touch to bowling.
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
bowling with the coupon on page 7—three
games for the price of two!
For more fun head to the new Laser
Maze for challenge that’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
l i g h t .
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
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
