    I love Bowlero! I used to go to their LA locations all the time when I lived out there, so I already knew the vibes were good--great service and always a fun time. This was our first time visiting the OC location in Tustin, and I really liked it. The place wasn't too big or too small, and it was pretty clean, which is always a plus. We came here to celebrate my birthday and had so much fun bowling. Since it was just the two of us, we didn't order too much--just a few drinks and the truffle fries, which were AMAZING. Seriously, 10/10. Our server was also awesome. Even with other parties going on, she made sure we were taken care of and did a great job. I also love that this location closes late. It's perfect if you want to keep the fun going at night with friends or loved ones. Definitely a great spot for date night too. Thank you for a great experience! I'll definitely be back--and next time, it'll be with a bigger group for even more fun

    Bowlero is a bowling alley that, along with its sister companies Lucky Strike and AMF, has multiple locations across the country. This location in Tustin is located at The District on the second floor next to Planet Fitness. They have ample parking but during busy times and weekends you might be parking far from the plaza and walking over. There is also valet parking available. You can reserve lanes online where you can play by the hour but they don't have that same deal in person. They had a special where we pay for two games ($13/game) and the third game is 50% off. Including shoe rentals ($6.50/pair) it was $40/person. For two people it equated to $10 per person per game which is not bad. We arrived at 7:30pm without a reservation and waited about 45 minutes for a lane. You can order food and drinks from the screen at the lane which was convenient so you don't need to walk to the bar. I liked that the bowling balls had different sized holes for the different weights; I don't know if that's always been a thing but it was nice for those with different sized hands. I also liked that we could enable and disable the bumpers electronically and also on a per person basis. What I wasn't a fan of was that the pins were on strings and sometimes they hit other pins making it look like you hit them but they didn't count. When we were here there were a lot of birthday parties and events. There was also an arcade, a sports bar with TVs, and free WiFi. The arcade card costs $2 and all games are 3-10 credits to play. They're open late night and get busy so I'd recommend reserving lanes online. If not, you can use the arcade or bar to pass the time.

    Bowlero Orange County in Tustin is a great place for old fashion bowling. This chain with other location in Anaheim, Whittier and Riverside. This site is located by Tustin Legacy inside Park Place Plaza -- just a quick note that visiting Sunday a good portion of the parking lot is fenced off for farmer markets and vendors. The bowling venue is located on the 2nd floor next to a fitness gym. The inside lounge have a nice vibe with upbeat music and a bar do make it feel more like a mini-party than just a game of bowling. It's a fun place to chill and hang out with friends and family. The staff ((shout‑out to Amy and Jay (I think)), were friendly and helpful to our group who got more than our fair shares of stuck gutter balls. You could also order food directly from lane control's boards but it's pricey. Oh, there's also a Photo Booth which is fun in itself. :)

    Such a great bowling spot but service was lacking sooooo bad. In addition, mid bowling game the bumpers on one of our sides malfunctioned...needless to say our littles in the group were not happy campers. We did order food and the kids played were delicious given it's a bowling center.

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon using the Summer Pass--got lucky with no long lines! Everything went super smoothly and we were able to start bowling right away. The place was packed with people, lots of parties going on, and the vibe was great. After bowling, we checked out the arcade. Not a huge selection of games, but still fun to look around.

    Came here around 12:30 on a Saturday afternoon. Coming at this time is perfect since they open at 11am and it's not too crowded. Our first lane was not registering when we bowled, which was annoying but the staff was nice enough to switch us to another lane. This was lane number 5. They sent someone to fix lane 5 while we were on lane 6; with that being said we didn't feel comfortable throwing a ball down our lane while someone was fixing the lane (at the end where the pins are). I understanding needing to fix the lane, however you'd think if they're doing this kinda of procedure they would move everyone far from that lane. Waited 20-30 min for the guy to be done. Then we order a beer on the iPad at the lane. 30ish min passed and we still never got our beer. Went to the bar and they had the order, however the bartender (Tyler i think his name was) was in the "bathroom". Nuhuh not for half an hour dude. Even if that was true there's not a single other person that could have poured one beer in 30 min? Never been here before and will most likely not be back.

    Great modern bowling alley in The District shopping area at Tustin Legacy. It is located on the second floor on the opposite side of the AMC theater (next to Planet Fitness). I recommend parking at the Petco or Whole Foods lot and then walking over. I purchased their annual summer pass for around $40, where you can bowl for as many days as you want (2 games + shoes). It is such a great deal! They also have a "premium summer pass" which includes arcade credits and can be used at any location (the standard pass can only be used at one location). Bowlero takes lane reservations but I do not recommend it unless you are planning a party or big event because the reservation prices are very very expensive. I never had to wait too long for a lane here. What's frustrating is I noticed prices for bowling are not clearly displayed anywhere at the counter (and not on the website either), which is a shame because I believe prices are pretty affordable. Based on other reviews I believe they are around $10/game plus around $6 for shoe rentals? With the summer pass you only need to go two times to get your moneys worth. Take advantage of the summer pass, otherwise ask for prices before you commit to anything!

Top Canvas also has other locations (Alhambra, Downey, Torrance, and Milpitas in Northern California) that operate as collectible stores and this is the only Top Canvas location that runs as a claw machine arcade. [Parking]: Easy and free parking at The District at Tustin Legacy. [Selection & Price]: Apparently the shop redesigned their claw machines and prize system in recent months. Players can now trade plushies for points and use those points to redeem more desirable prizes. As for trade-in prizes, they have selected signed Funko Pop figures / giant Pokémon plushies / other generic plushies (25%), blind boxes (50%), and graded Pokémon cards / booster packs / other collectibles (25%). Personally it would be better if they had fewer blind boxes as trade-in prizes and focused more on curated Sanrio plushies or unique action figures. [Point system]: For play packs, $10 = 20 tokens, $20 = 42 tokens, $50 = 110 tokens, and $100 = 230 tokens. Claw machines with numbered stickers indicate how many points each plush is worth and most machines indicate 15 points per plush. Blind box trade-in values range from 45 points to 125 points. [Conclusion]: It is nice to have claw machines with a higher win rate than places like Round1 + the ability to trade plushies for better prizes, but I do think their prizes are not as good as places like Round1. Personally I still prefer other claw machine spots like Infinity Claws in Rowland Heights and I also like Top Canvas's collectible stores better than this claw machine-only concept store. P.S. - Players can ask the staff to rearrange plushies in some machines.

Thrill It is a fun little spot for kiddos - depending on how busy it is though - can be a hit or miss. Luckily, the place wasn't as packed when we stopped by. Prices are decent - you can pay per activity, or buy the Thrill Pass for $29 - which includes one of each of the activities they have, as well as either Arcade bucks, or Claw Zone tokens - I opted for the latter, since it gives me something to do while the nephews play. The claw machines are such a scam, lol. I get that they have to make money - and can't just give stuff away, but the claws barely have any grip! The prizes are pretty awesome, though - I wanted both a stuffed Yoshi and stuffed Pikachu... Anyway, nephews left happy - and we finished up with everything with just a few minutes to spare to make it over to our movie.

Justin and the other young man behind the counter are so incredibly friendly and talk to you as if you're a visitor, not a paying customer, which is incredible to me given the location and sheer number of people who pass through the arcade every day. Justin was cheering on our kids on as they played games and celebrating with us when we won... and then incredibly patient when those same kids took about an hour to decide on what prizes they would choose with their tickets. I'm always a bit hesitant to visit the overly touristed, typical beach spots when we're on vacation, but we always make a point to come here when we're in the area. Other pros to the arcade include seeing that the staff are frequently out cleaning the games and machines, and a good variety of games for such a small place. I always recommend that people stop in when they go to Newport pier, so I may as well recommend here on Yelp as well!

The prices of the credit vary on amount and it can get quite expensive, the prizes are not worth the credit we spend but that isn't the point of the prizes. Also you get a reusable card which I think if you come often to make sure to bring it and just refill the amount to waive the new card activation fee. We didn't get to stay long to play the games we wanted since it was crowded and the game we wanted was pretty popular. Would like to try again next time and will bring our card for a refill!

She mentioned that this is probably the largest Kawaii Klaws location out of all the another areas. There are easily 30+ different claw machines in this location. There was enough variety in plushies among the machines, but I wish they had more as there were a lot of commonalities among Sanrio and a lot of bunny inspired plushies. We left with 4 plushies on this visit, the staff working their was friendly and she said she loved my bf's and my energy which I thought was so lovely of her to mention...I asked her name but forgot but she was really sweet. If you're looking for a place to kill time and want to try and score some cute plushies this is the place!
