When most visitors come to Big Bear there is so much outdoor activity, you would hardly expect to find yourself indoors throwing strikes. However, the Bowling Barn provides a night of family entertainment when you get tired of skiing or fishing. Most of the patrons are locals and it's centrally located right on the edge of the lake and in-between the village which makes it within walking distance of many hotels. On Saturdays, the barn also provides an additional karaoke bar as entertainment.
