I brought our Cub Scout pack here for a family bowling night, it started small but we ended up rolling ~40 deep. I was worried they may not be able to accommodate, but they were happy to take us. We had a lot of first time bowlers (kids and adults alike), and they had lots of questions, requests, etc. Again, the staff handled it like pros. Their snack bar was well stocked, and they have a handful of arcade machines. The place is modern and clean, from the floors to the restrooms, and there's seating in the rear with a pool table and a room for birthday parties and such. On the outside it appears quite small, but they did a good job maximizing the space. More importantly though, their staff were friendly and handled our group like they do this regularly - friendly and knowledgable. We will certainly be returning in the future, and I hope you do as well. :) read more

We literally stumbled across this hidden GEM when we went to charge our EV on a Sunday night... I was so fascinated and impressed, we came back the next day to bowl a few games! Let me give you 10 reasons why it's a GEM1. Clean 2. Nostalgic with the neon lights and fun carpet motif 3. Fun Ambiance 4. Comfortable 5. Friendly staff (Monday was slow so only a couple staff) 6. Budget friendly -- my husband and I played 5 games in an hour (we both don't play and I won) 7. Clean restrooms 8. besides 14 lanes for bowling there's a party room, food bar, 1 pool table, air hockey and ping pong table arcade games. 9. Large menu with alcoholic beverages (we had a beer and White Claw) 10. The lanes couches have a high back and tables were such a vibe!! I really hope this place stays open, I loved it! read more

We hosted our tennis kickoff party with our boys team. I think the total amount was about 350. We were able to get five lanes for two hours access to their both their pool tables and their hockey table and we were able to bring some outside food in to host in a little area in the back. I always seem to forget that we had a bowling alley down the street from us. It is an excellent place. If you just wanted to kill some time and I think the rates are quite reasonable, especially since the rentals are included. The services as good as can be and it's always kept clean. I appreciate this place! read more

My family and I decided to come here for a family afternoon of bowling. We went on a Sunday around 2 PM and they had plenty of lanes available for us however it's a very small bowling alley and by 3PM it was packed. Who knew how many people would go bowling on a Sunday afternoon! We bowled for about an hour and had an absolute blast! There's plenty of balls light enough for me, my sister and my niece to pick up. I will say towards the end of our game the pins got stuck, so it was good that we were on our very last round. It did seem that throughout our time there other people were having problems with the pens getting stuck and/or the balls getting stuck not sure if that's common here or not but that's what happened this particular day. After bowling, we thought we would try our luck at pool. Again this place is small so they only have two tables..when we went to get our pool sticks there was a family in front of us that was large enough to need both tables so we were not able to play today. We switched it up and went to try air hockey. I've always loved air hockey, but honestly, this table might need to be replaced it did not have enough air coming out which made the game extremely hard. Overall, I thought it was a great time!! It's not ridiculously expensive. And the interiors are festive and perfect for this environment. They have pinballs and all sorts of carnival style games. They also have a restaurant where you can order drinks and food. It just seemed like everything was easy .... so I thought it was great! It's also an easy place to find and has a large parking lot! read more

Cute little bowling places. 14 lanes plus air hockey table and games arcades. Friendly & nice staff, not bad for pricing and the foods is as you expected fast & fried foods but not bad at all. Was here for kid's bday so it was great for them to play together. Overall, it's a nice cute and friendly neighborhood bowling alley that is next to the movie theater and several restaurants next doors. Very convenient, come and check it out. read more

Fountain Bowl was completely packed for hours due to a bunch of leagues that were playing, so my friends and I went over to Valley View Lanes instead. Honestly when we pulled into the shopping center I had no idea where this place was. I just saw a bunch of shit packed into one tiny shopping center and then sandwiched right in between the movie theatre and a restaurant was Valley View Lanes. Not only is this place hidden, but it's also quite deceiving. It looks super small from the outside. I thought to myself, "How the hell is there a bowling alley in this place? It's gotta be like 4 lanes tops." But no, when you walk in, it really opens up and has a full-on bowling alley set up, along with a few arcade games, and a kitchen serving up standard bowling alley fare. The place was empty aside from another kid's birthday party, so they were able to accommodate our large party right away which was nice. I'm not going to mince words here. The food was pretty bad, especially the "buffalo" wings. I was avoiding carbs, so this was the only option on the menu. They were bone dry and a few were a bit burnt. Absolutely zero flavor aside from the ranch I had to dunk them in which was necessary to lubricate them before eating them. They advertise karaoke outside on their sign, so naturally when drunk Kurtis comes out he has to karaoke. Unfortunately the employee said they don't offer Karaoke and he wasn't sure why it says it on their sign. I was pretty disappointed, but I wasn't surprised either. Aside from dedicating all the space to bowling, I also wondered how the hell they'd be able to do karaoke too. They could barely fit a few arcade games in here. No way they'd do karaoke unless it was the type where you get up on stage and sing in front of everyone (hate those). I'm not a bowler or anything. In fact, I really stink at bowling so I can't speak for that part. Aside from that though, the place is alright at best. The food could really use some work though. read more

Always a great time here. The vibe and the music that goes with this place is awesome. Family friendly for sure. I have yet to try the food but staff are also welcoming. I am sure summer will be popping and we are here for spring break. read more

$45 dollars per hour for bowling.... A pretty high price if you ask me. You also pay per rented pair of shoes separately, and if you want socks, there's another added fee. They do have specials for cosmic bowling from 9-11pm. You have to reserve your spot 30 minutes before and you pay by the hour. Cosmic bowling is $12 an hour. The food is ok. There's limited amount of snacks and beer at the concession stand. There's about 15 lanes over all, with bumpers and special equipment for children and handicap people. Overall it's ok for a neighborhood bowling alley. The price per hour did catch us by surprise. read more

Pretty cool little place to go do some bowling. Not the best bowling alley I have been to but it for sure gets the job done. It is quite small inside and there are only like twelve lanes or something like that. They also have a few arcade games setup towards the entrance and a few air hockey tables, as well as pool tables. They even have karaoke rooms which I did not expect. Pretty good time and they have something for everyone. Mind you, we only played one hour of bowling but it was still fun. The place is also pretty clean which is always welcome and the music they were playing was decent. A lot of stuff from the 2010s but it's all good haha. I liked how they have free water too. You can get a water cup from the food counter and they will even give you a pitcher of water to take back to the lane. Overall, great experience, had a good time and the workers were also really kind and made us feel welcome while there. read more

This place deserves an outstanding score/rating! They had outstanding service, excellent food choices, a great selection of arcade games, very clean business, good music and the noise level was just right. When I got there, the place was full but Maria was so kind, polite and helpful. I had a group of 12 and she tried to accommodate us best she could. Only one lane was open but another one was going to open in 30min and asked if I wanted to wait or start whenever I decided to do so. Our party was hungry so we went ahead and got the one lane and waited for the other one while ordering food. I was a little skeptical about the pizza at first but Laura assured me that it was good and their dough was freshly made. I must say, their pizza was very good! All of my party loved it!! We all had such a great time and experience here, we will definitely return again! Thank you Maria and Laura for being so helpful and welcoming!! You both were amazing!' Thanks again!! read more

We had the absolute best time at VV Lanes. The staff was incredibly helpful and everyone was really nice as they helped us celebrate our combined birthdays. We rented out the entire place and working with Elena was easy and straightforward. We knew from the minute we set foot in there the first time we went bowling that we wanted to have our party there And we're glad we did it. If you're looking for a great place to host your party, this is it. Thank you to Elena and her staff for helping us make this the best party ever! read more

I really appreciate coming to this place with my family and our sports teams. The service is cool but today we decided to go bowl to get out of the heat and the place was hotter than it was outside. My family and I decided to go elsewhere. Idk if the A.C. was broken but I don't think even the employees should have been working in that kind of heat. read more

Huge shout out to Josh. absolutely killed it with customer service as soon as we walked into the establishment we knew it was gonna be a good night. Although it was understaffed, Josh overcame the circumstances and showed great customer service throughout the night definitely deserves recognition from management. We will be back with heavy pockets. read more

BRAND NEW! SO NICE! SUMMARY New! 12ish lanes. Easy, fun, there's food and drinks and some games. It's a safe environment for dates and kids as well. BOWLING SERVICE Quick and easy! Show up, pay, get shoes and bowl! FOOD AND DRINK SERVICE Quick and easy! Show up, order, pay, receive and enjoy! AMBIANCE Really nice! I mean it's totally casual but everything is brand new! PRO TIP: Get a Groupon baby!! :) read more

I've been two times by myself and today was my third visit I brought eight others and we had so much fun!

The service was OK. The lanes kept breaking and doing really strange things and they ended up switching our lanes multiple times. The kids liked the pizza and overall had a good time, but definitely a lot of technical difficulties with the actual bowling. read more

We really love coming here! I would say we've been here about 15 times since it opened. Bowling, arcade games, pool tables, karaoke.. all the entertainment! We really like the homemade pizzas made in their cute pizza ovens, the wings are really good and the pretzel with cheese is a fave of ours. We tried some of their desserts tonight for the first time and they did not disappoint, not a bite of anything was leftover. During the week they have GREAT pricing for bowling. We have come during the week, on the weekend, for bday parties, when it's rainy weather or when it's too hot outside. Staff is always very friendly and very helpful. They have plenty of TV's with all of the top games on. They sell beer and wine as well. read more

We celebrated my birthday at Valley View Lanes, and it was a great experience from start to finish! My wife and I took our two kids and a one of their friends on a spontaneous visit--no reservations--and we were pleasantly surprised to find plenty of open lanes, even though the place was recently remodeled and looked really inviting. The staff was outstanding. Adam checked us in and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He was incredibly helpful and genuinely friendly--can't say enough about how gracious he was! We also grabbed some garlic chicken wings, which were pretty tasty. The food and drink selection overall was solid, especially the beer options (even though it was somewhat limited, choices were good). If I had to nitpick, I'd say the AC could be turned up a bit--it was a little warm and stuffy at times. Also, while the music playlist was good (awesome 80's music), it was a bit short and started repeating about every hour. That said, we had a great time, and I'm honestly surprised this place isn't more packed. Valley View Lanes is a hidden gem, and we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend! read more

Our family came here after searching for a family friendly place in the area. Only to show up to two different locations "campus Billard" where we found out that they have games for all ages but only if you're over 21. We were desperately seeking to find a fun location for adults and our 6 year child. We found a place called "rock 'n' brew" in Buena park because of the family friendly environment and play area for kids. Once we got there, we were told that the play area no longer existed. So we decided to just go to a place where we have been before and knew we would have a good time. We were met with amazing and friendly service by Maria, Alexa, Brian, Laura and Freddy. They made us feel welcome and helped us enjoy the night. This will definitely be our go to when we go out for a family night. read more

First time hosted birthday party for my son. It's a great experience. The staffs are friendly, helpful and accommodated all my needs. Thanks Julio assisted me with set up and played the music we like while playing. The V.I.P. room is awesome. Highly recommend to rent for party. I barely did any decorations but the room itself already shows. All my guests love the atmosphere and privacy. Kids love the clawing machines and air hockey. It is definitely a good place to host party. They have all the fun stuffs read more

We had an amazing time here for my daughters' birthday celebration. Very clean, family friendly, and chill atmosphere. Making a reservation for the party was easy and simple, over the phone, and convenient. On the day of the birthday celebration, Maria checked us in, helped us get settled and even found a misplaced cellphone. She really saved the day for us, especially our teenaged guest. Our nine teenagers bowled for 1 hour and play arcade games... Literally, it was so perfect! We ordered 3 pizzas, which were made fresh to order and came out about 20 mins after we order. Everyone in our party INHALED the pizza. The mozzi pizza was definitely a favorite! Valley View Lanes made this an awesome birthday celebration. read more

We made a reservation over a week ago for our child's birthday party, and the date and time were confirmed while we were on the phone with the front desk. However, when we arrived today, the doors were locked, and no one was answering the phone. We stood outside with our guests for over 30 minutes with no communication or explanation. Not only were we unable to access the facility, but our deposit was already processed. This was incredibly disappointing and frustrating -- especially for a child's birthday. If I could give zero stars, I would. Completely unprofessional experience. read more

I call you guys and ask what time you close, you tell me 10pm, but doors close at 9pm to bowl. I show up at not even 8:30, and the automatic doors are closed? that's over a hour 1/2 before closing time. Not only do I call when I'm outside to see if someone is able to open the doors for me, but my call gets picked up then gets hung up on! I feel like my times been wasted! I'm also someone who genuinely likes coming to bowl here & never had an issue in the past even with showing up a HOUR before closing time till now! read more

We liked this place! We went on a weekday afternoon! It was not busy at all. The attendant at the counter was helpful and friendly, provided great service. The place is clean, shoes and balls functioned well. It wasn't too noisy with the background music. I would say the establishment is very family friendly. My kid wants to keep going back.

Came from another bowling alley that treated us like crap. I called ahead of time and the man on the phone was very nice and was able to reserve a lane for us. Showed up and was greeted right when we entered. The team behind the desk was quick to get us checked in and get everyone shoes. The place was clean and had fun music playing. The team working was very attentive and helpful. We ordered pizza and some snacks and the lady at the register was very sweet. Our order came out quick and was really tasty I highly recommend VV Lanes and will be back soon. read more

Visited this place on a Friday night for bowling. They had 13 lanes and price per hour which I personally think is more worth it than per game. They have 2 pool tables charged per game. Pool tables are too close to each other. There's 3 karaoke room that we tried. The karaoke part is not the best as they don't have a traditional song book. Instead, they give you an ipad to play the song you want. I didn't enjoy because you literally have to know the exact song you want. Even if you type in a genre or artist, there's very little suggestion that would come up. The quality of the mic isn't the best as well. But overall, I like the place. It is clean and quite a few things to enjoy and play. read more

We had a Social Outing on 10-10 for 25ish people! The staff here is truly amazing! We got there at 730pm and we had our Reserve lanes ready to go! I showed up, paid and we all played with no issues! The Food there is delicious. I was able to try out the pizza, and it was good! We slammed the kitchen at one point and I saw the staff get together and help each other. Music was great. Not too loud, and we could hear all of us talking. We also rented out a couple of tables of Billiards and that was fun! I believe Maria was the young woman that helped me out that day and she did an amazing job. Also all the staff were truly friendly. We will fur sure be coming back!! read more

Wow! This place received a much-needed face-lift! The previous lanes were brightly lit and had more lanes. It had the snack bar, arcade, bar, and pro shop. The new lanes are less lit. I'm guessing for ambiance. There are not as many lanes as before. This one has 14 lanes. Before the remodel I think it had at least 22 lanes. What I did notice is that parts of it are still under construction. The arcade is still getting up and going. Some games are not yet plugged in. There is a snack bar and you can buy alcohol there unlike before. Once you walk in, you notice a projection on the wall to your right. There is usually a game showing there. I didn't notice a pro shop there, but I did notice 3 karaoke rooms in the back! Honestly, they look small, but a lot of fun! There is also a stand up and dine area opposite the snack bar as well as a few sit down booths. This place looks really fun and it will likely serve the area well. I'm not sure if they have the summer program for kids that they used to. It was kind of like you pay for a certain number of times you can go during the summer. We used it and it was a lot of fun! Rental prices- I can't speak for pricing because I didn't ask. I'm also not sure if you're able to have birthday parties there since I did see limited seating space. Give them a try! We will be there soon! read more

I don't even know where to start talking negative about this place. Went on a Saturday evening/night bowling was $45 per hour, had five people bowl for two hours and was barely able to play two games, we were very attentive to who's turn it was and barely able to go to the bathroom, there is no way to pause the timer on bowling even to go and order food. Bowling ball got stuck numerous times and had to wait for the only 3 employees working to continue bowling, wasting even more time. Went to get food and was told it would take 45mins for nacho cheese to be warmed, only have an option for 6 piece chicken wings only being able to get one flavor. Eat before or after better off. Almost half of the arcade machines are broken down or not plugged in. Despite them having so many lanes available they choose to put everyone next to themselves so the employees don't have to clean more then needed. I don't see this place staying open for much longer. read more

A group of us reserved 2 lanes at Valley View Lanes for an hour of bowling. With shoes rentals, it's about $15 a person (this was my first bowling outing in over a decade, so I can't say if that's a going rate or not). All the equipment was either new or very well kept, and we had a fairly smooth time. We did have a mechanical and software issue a couple of times with our lanes, but the employees were pretty prompt in fixing them. The interior is a sort of wacky, bright aesthetic, and everything was well maintained. Down a hallway there's a ping pong table and karaoke rooms, although we didn't use those. They also offered us a pitcher of water and cups to use midway through the game. I'm not sure if this location offers any actual food and drink, but there wasn't a bar or restaurant area inside. read more

This place has such potential! It's a cute, smaller bowling alley with nice decor. They are still in the opening stages so there is a lot of improvements that need to be made. The food can use some help and all the arcade games were already out of order. It's not for professional leagues but perfect for families and kids. A wee bit pricey, but that's to be expected. read more

Well worth every penny! The lanes were nice and clean. The bumpers can be set-up for individual players and there were "bowling lizards" to help kids push their bowling balls. I liked that the snack bar used buzzers to let you know when your food was ready (versus other bowling alleys that call you over their PA systems). There was also an air hockey and a pool table in the back. We went on a Tuesday afternoon between 4-6pm and it wasn't busy at all, which was nice, compared to other loud, dark and crowded bowling alleys. read more

Crafting a review, I wanted to highlight Julio's exceptional assistance. Despite being singlehandedly managing a busy situation, his dedication was evident. From the beginning, middle & end. He welcomed us warmly, checked-in on our group during our experience, made rounds for our food delivery. Overall, he ensured our group of soccer team/parents had a positive experience. His commitment to service under pressure is truly commendable. The fact that he was checking people in + have to attend to kitchen orders simultaneously was unbelievable --but he handled it with grace. We appreciate Julio's efforts in making our visit so pleasant. read more

The Timeless Lanes: A Sanctuary of Rolling Thunder (and Julio's Magic) This isn't just a bowling alley; it's a time capsule. It's a place where the price of a night out doesn't require a second mortgage, where laughter echoes freely, and where the simple pleasure of knocking down ten pins remains an eternally satisfying pursuit. In a world obsessed with fleeting trends and digital distractions, VV bowl stands as a testament to the enduring power of classic, uncomplicated fun. But the true magic, the soul of this place, isn't just in the lanes or the balls. It's in the people, and one person in particular. Julio is a legend. He's the silent guardian of the pins, the swift rescuer of stuck balls, and the purveyor of perfectly chilled drinks. He's a constant, a reassuring presence in the midst of the rolling chaos. He anticipates needs before they're even voiced, offering a knowing smile and a helping hand without ever being intrusive. He's the kind of person who makes you feel like you've been a regular for life, even if it's your first visit. He is the embodiment of the alley's spirit, a master of multitasking, and a silent observer of countless games. You will see him, a blur of motion, retrieving a ball from a gutter, clearing a pin jam, and delivering a frosty beverage with a quiet, "Enjoy your game." His work ethic is the backbone of this place, and his quiet dedication is a testament to the fact that genuine service is an art form. And that's why I'm hesitant to share this gem. It's a sanctuary, a refuge from the clamor of modern life. It's a place where memories are made, friendships are forged, and the simple act of bowling becomes a cherished ritual. IIt's a place that feels like home, a place I desperately want to protect. So, if you happen to stumble upon VV bowltreat it with respect. Appreciate the worn charm, the affordable prices, and the genuine warmth of the atmosphere. And if you see Julio, offer him a smile and a thank you. He's the heart and soul of this timeless treasure, and he deserves every bit of recognition. Just... maybe don't tell too many people. Let's keep this little slice of bowling heaven just the way it is, a secret whispered among those who truly understand its magic. Because some things are too precious to lose to the rush of crowds. read more
