Forest Lanes, Lake Forest CA

Sharing time with my teenager. PRICELESS. Fun for the whole family. Economic fun out of the house.

Havent figured out when bowling became $35 an hour plus shoe rental.

That said:

Lots of lanes and a good snack bar

The pro shop drilled my ball in no time. Had me out on the lanes in just minutes. Great service

Joe was the best! He fit the kids in for a birthday and made sure the kids had a great birthday party! Highly recommend Lake Forest Lanes and Joe! Great Service!

I feel like I've been to 100 birthday parties here. It is definitely a solid go to. Great pace for the kids. Not sure what they like better.the bowling or the video games. The good news is that there's a full bar for the parents.

Brought my toddler here for the first time. She loved it. The front desk was fast and the fries were good.

Top notch bowling facility.

Their lanes are just as nice as the staff. I would go out of my way to bowl here. From the aforementioned staff to the league bowlers, this place is the epitome of just a great alley.
Maybe I'm biased because I've been bowling here for 30 years; but I wouldn't even consider another alley.
Events are run with precision and the food is excellent. Speaking of the food, this stuff is great. I'm not kidding when I tell you I've had everything on the menu; and it's all well beyond your expectations for bowling alley food. The kitchen is well stocked and the primary cook (chef?) can accommodate special or finicky requests. Fried food is always cooked to perfection but the talent really shines in the sandwiches and salads. This place is literally worth coming to for lunch just for the food.
The lanes tend to have a little less oil than Saddleback Lanes which I am completely cool with but definitely something to consider of you are coming to practice competitively.

Went with a big group of buddies.had lots of fun in the bowling arena. Will definitely return again and recommend to others:)

Service was horrible. Front desk and bartender were so amazingly bad! With all going around in this world right now you would think customer service would be over the top! But it was completely the opposite! They do not deserve 1 star but I don’t know how to give the 0. One last mention the bartender with the red hair needs to find a non customer service job! Will never go
Back and never in my life have I left without giving a tip! That’s how bad!

Great bowling alley. Would definitely suggest to anyone in the area who is looking for a good place to bowl

Decent place to bowl.shoes have rubber heels that stick to floor so not the greatest.you will want to bring your own if you can.

This bowling alley is so so. The food taste average and food service is below average, it was self service! Music was great! No one even ask if we needed anything, as soon as we pick up our bowling shoes, the lady says go to number #23. No one assisted us with the machine or if we needed to order food. There are other bowling alleys that have really excellent service.

Front desk staff acted as though I was bothering (her) checking in to get a lane and shoes. My experience was typical when coming to this facility.

It's decent but old as are the workers. I'm sure it's great for older people or those who don't have kids or who's kids are well mannered but for those who have I'll mannered or wild children it's probably not the place to be

Great place to bowl.casual atmosphere and good snacks. Didn't like the shoe rentals though, rubber heels make for sticking when you need to slide your foot. Overall I really like the place but will just need to bring my own shoes.

My son loves to go there on the weekends. It is a nice place and also nice to have some food and drinks. My son would love to go there every week and it is affordable

Other than inconsistency in the la es, its a nice facility. The food is exceptional for a bowling alley and the jalapeno cheeseburger will compete with anyones.

Good place to go with the whole family! Lots of lanes and the glow in the dark sessions are the best!

It was nicely remodeled. Very clean. Reasonable rates to rent a lane for hour or two and way better pricing than Saddleback lanes. Staff was responsive but seemed somewhat new. Kids had a great time bowling and our mini birthday party was a success. We will be back.

Great bowling great atmosphere. The employees aren't the friendliest but my group still had a blast.
