Bowling

If you're looking for a fun bowling night (or afternoon) in Ridgecrest, you have two solid options—each with its own vibe and perks.
 

Sierra Lanes Bowling Center is more than just a bowling alley—it’s a full family fun center. Along with its 18 bowling lanes, Sierra Lanes also has a miniature golf course, a golf simulator, arcade games, a bounce house, food & bar service, party packs, and plenty of room for group outings. It’s perfect if you want bowling plus a bunch of other entertainment all in one spot.
 

Then there’s Hall Memorial Lanes Bowling Center, located on base at NAWS China Lake. This is more of a traditional bowling facility—great for leagues, open bowling, and events. It has ten synthetic lanes, automatic scoring, bumpers, a pro shop, and snack options including the Strike Zone Grill. But note: because it’s on a military installation, you’ll need a badge or base access to enter.
