Note from Conejo Joe:  We have been here and boy is it fun.  Just wear gloves and something warm and they provide the rest (e.g. ice skates).  We went in January 2009 during what they call "Sunday Snowday" session, where the provide a big pile of freshly made snow in a designated spot in the middle of the rink.  My four year old and I sure had some fun in there! It was his first time on ice skates.  We'll be back!  One thing is that I did have a hard time finding the right path to center from the 101 coming from Thousand Oaks.  Here are directions:

Wagon Wheel Bowl in Oxnard

Wagon Wheel Bowl at 2801 Wagon Wheel Road in Oxnard (805.485.4915) is a 32 lane bowling alley originally built in 1953.  The 64 acre property that the bowling alley is located on was sold and will likely be redeveloped into condos, office buildings and the like, and the adjacent Wagon Wheel Restaurant and Motel were closed several years ago, but the Wagon Wheel Bowl is still going strong!

This may not be the fanciest or nicest bowling around, but it is one of just a handful of bowling alleys still in operation and it may well be recognized as a historical landmark because of its history and the fact that it is a living example of mid 20th century roadside architecture.  You can't miss it driving south on the 101 while driving through Oxnard. 

In the meantime, this piece of local history is still open and running and, according to the employee I spoke with on the phone, they expect the place to be open another 5 years or so.  We shall see!  So check out this historical landmark, have a beer, burger and bowl away!
