We are about to share everything we know about the best bowling alleys and pro shops in Los Angeles with you today. Whether you are a professional or are just looking to have some fun at the lanes we will do our best to point you in the right direction.
There really is no better way for us to begin than by listing the best Los Angeles bowling alleys. Most of our visitors are probably just looking for a place to have some fun making them the most natural starting point.
During our discussion of the best places to bowl near you we will try to give you some information on what is available at each of these centers. Some may host leagues and tournaments for youth, adults, seniors, or ladies and if so that will be mentioned.
Cosmic bowling is more popular than ever so we will of course let you know if it is available, plus we will mention which places are family friendly and good for kids, birthday parties, have arcades or laser tag, pool tables, private rooms, and any specials, discounts, or happy hours they might offer will get a shout out.
There are also some alleys that are better for adults that might have sports bars or play music at night with more of a grown up party atmosphere and that will be mentioned too. Following that you will find a list of local bowling pro shops where you can buy balls, bags, shoes, grips, finger inserts, and all kind of accessories.
Plus they should be able to handle drilling, plugging, fitting, resurfacing, cleaning and engraving as well. Towards the end there will be a bowling map for your area with the best alleys and pro shops pinned so that you can get a better lay for the land.
And you are all welcome to check out more of our posts on the Southwest at that link if interested.
