Bowling gets kind of a bad rap as a sport enjoyed by old dudes in synthetic shirts, but if you haven’t been in a while you might have forgotten how satisfying the crack of the ball against the pins can be. Santa Clarita Lanes is a fantastic local alley that hosts league and open bowling as well as regular tournaments for advanced bowlers to show their stuff. A number of weekly specials also draw diverse crowds; Saturday night sees cosmic bowling in Thunder Alley, with a powerful sound and light show adding some adrenaline to the mix. Most weeknights guests can enjoy Quartermania from 9 p.m. to closing time, when deep discounts apply to food items and ten bucks pays for unlimited bowling. Sunday mornings also host an unusual but popular combination of bowling and breakfast. Regulars rave about the friendly, welcoming staff, who really bend over backwards to make your experience great.
