burr oak bowl, Blue Island

Unlike most activities, bowling rewards you for knocking things over. Guests knock things over nightly at this indoor recreation center. Bowling lanes facilitate relaxed family nights with automatic scoring and bumper options for groups playing with small children. Friday and Saturday nights, the lights dim for more glamorous glow bowling. Fog machines billow mist across the ground as laser and disco lights cast colorful patterns through the air. Every night after close, Kegel Kustodian machines brush over each lane to ensure consistent conditions for the next day of playing.

Oak Forest Bowl also keeps famished players satisfied with sandwiches, pizzas, and appetizers served at an onsite restaurant. During the summertime, the good times move outdoors for seasonal volleyball and bean-bag tossing at The Park.
