    Tasi was amazing. It was a great time and she kept us liquored up. We were definitely the loudest and drunkest in the establishment

    It's Oct 6th 2pm and a freaking oven in here! I wish there were other bowling alleys around here! A…read morenewer better option would be awesome! We came in to practice and the place was mildly busy but still it was way too hot and the AC should be cooling this place! I've been bowling here for almost 5 years and four years in league and the air-conditioning in this place is absolutely the worst! The owner here doesn't seem to care much? This has been an ongoing issue as long as I've been coming here. Word has it "they are working on it" ya whatever! For Four years!!?? I'm not the only very dissatisfied customer! EVERYONE in our league is a sweaty mad mess! Especially being that it's a full house making it more uncomfortable.

    It's been more than 10 years since I've gone bowling and walking in the scene was very familiar…read more Even though this is the first time I've been to Buena Lanes I guess most bowling alleys look quite similar. There is a small arcade area as well. Checking in and getting the shoes was very easy and the staff was courteous. I forgot how flat with no cushion the bowling shoes were. It actually got me a little nostalgic and brought back the memories of when I was in high school and bowling with friends. The lighter weight balls, especially the 8 lbs, had really small finger holes. It's probably made for kids but I'm quite petite and was only able to put about half my fingers in before it felt too tight. At one point the colored lights came on and it seemed more like a dance party. This was at like 3:30 in the afternoon and it lasted about half an hour so I didn't understand the reason for that. The lights actually made me bowl worst because it somehow affected my vision. It does get it a bit hot after a while, with so many people in there it would have been more comfortable if they turn up the air. All in all it was a fun afternoon.

    We went to Bowlero on the last day of 2025, with a party of four adults and four children five and…read moreunder. It was raining in Santa Barbara, and we made the mistake of showing up half an hour after the place opened without a reservation. We were, apparently, not the only parents in search of last-minute rainy day entertainment. Thankfully, we were able to book a lane online for 4:00 that afternoon, and came back with our full complement after lunch and naps. Check-in was smooth, as far as I could tell, and we all got our special bowling alley shoes. My only complaint is that there weren't quite enough bowling balls for all the small children in attendance. We found one 8-pound ball and were lucky to share a ball dispenser with another family who let us use one of their 6-pounders. Our one lane only allowed for four bowlers, but this was plenty, as the parents rotated and only two of our kids were interested in the game (my three-year-old preferred to run wild and our friends' baby babied). Those two children, though, were deeply interested, especially our five-year-old, who was so sweet and sincere and enthusiastic, just having the time of his life. He's very competitive and kept close track of the score, and of course did not register the comparative advantage of bumper bowling while his parents (mostly his mother) rolled a series of gutter balls. My three-year-old was more interested in the arcade, and it was a chore to follow him over there again and again and steadfastly refuse to let him play the shiny, pointless games. He was fascinated by the crane games, and I made the mistake of letting him watch a dad play one, assuming the man would lose. Apparently this dad was some kind of crane whiz and my boy saw him walk away with a big stuffie instead. I got him out of there as quickly as I could. There was food and drink available for purchase, including beer, wine, and cocktails. We skipped on booze for the afternoon, but did get some fries to share, which were solid. It seems like it would be easy to fit in a meal here with the right timing. Bar food and pizza and chicken tenders for the kids. No one comes to Santa Barbara to spend hours inside a bowling alley in Goleta, but not every day can be a beach day. We had a good time at Bowlero, and the kids had an absolute blast.

    Bowlero is a BIG BUMMER. I grew up going to this location when it was Orchid Bowl and then later…read moreZodos. We went there for family outings, birthday parties, and with friends. Now that I have my own family, I was excited to go and tried making a reservation. For 6 people, it is 280$ for 2 hours. The problem is, my kids (3&4) can't last 2 hours. So I called to see if I could just reserve a lane for an hour. No. They told me that I should just come in at opening and I should be able to get a lane. So I came in at opening and was not able to get a lane. We got on the wait list and went home. The time we finally got a text message that a lane was open was over 3 hours later. My kids were so sad and our plans for the fun family activity went out the window. I'm really disappointed that it's so hard to make a reservation and that it's so expensive now. It's no longer a family friendly location like it once was.

I wasn't a fan of how the helmet smelled though and of how the smoke smelled from the GoKarts. It was my first time trying it out so I don't know if that's normally how it is. I also didn't get to try the batting cages because they were closed 15 minutes before midnight, even though they advertised this spot closing at midnight. The Laser Tag activity was a pretty big space and I didn't find it stuffy at all, which was good. The VR next to the Laser Tag though was stuffy but at least there was an overhead fan. I personally don't trust how well they clean and disinfect the head masks, that's why I didn't try it. The arcade area was pretty limited in terms of games but they're always a good activity to do as an alternative from the other activities that have lines. Didn't get to try the mini-golf or the "bowling" area due to time. I like the outdoor patio and the ambiance of the string lights when you want to get some fresh air. Lots of families seated wherever they wanted and kids had a lot of stuff to play around with. Looking to see how this spot will compete with Round1 opening up soon in the mall. The water cup station is super handy, but they didn't want to refill the waters near the end of the night and the cups also, so we had to ask at the bar. I like that there's a good amount of staffing here who were all working hard. There's a few bathrooms spread out in the place. Parking is big in the back, just gets pretty dark.
