What Are the Open Bowling Hours at Rich Lanes?
Updated
Rich Lanes in Fairport Harbor, Ohio, publishes a day-by-day open bowling schedule, and the hours vary widely by day. Sunday and Monday offer only late-afternoon windows, Tuesday and Friday have daytime sessions, Wednesday is early evening only, Thursday has no open bowling at all, and Friday and Saturday add late-night sessions from 10pm to midnight. The center advises calling ahead at 440-357-7248 to check availability or make a reservation.
Open Bowling Schedule
| Day | Open Bowling Hours |
|---|---|
| Sunday | 3pm – 5pm |
| Monday | 3:30pm – 5pm |
| Tuesday | 11am – 3pm |
| Wednesday | 3pm – 5pm |
| Thursday | None |
| Friday | 11am – 5pm and 10pm – 12am |
| Saturday | 2pm – 5pm and 10pm – 12am |
Two things stand out when planning a visit. First, Thursday has no open bowling window, so it isn't an option for walk-in play. Second, Friday and Saturday are the only days with late-night sessions, running 10pm to midnight after the daytime block ends.
Lane Pricing by Day and Time

|---|---|
| Sunday | $25/hr |
| Monday | $15/hr |
| Tuesday | $15/hr |
| Wednesday | $15/hr |
| Thursday | $15/hr |
| Friday before 5pm | $15/hr |
| Friday after 5pm | $25/hr |
| Saturday | $25/hr |
The cheapest windows are Monday through Wednesday and Friday before 5pm at $15/hr. Note that Thursday is listed at $15/hr even though no open bowling hours are posted for that day.
Before You Go
- Call ahead. The center explicitly asks guests to call 440-357-7248 to check availability or reserve a lane, which is worth doing given the short windows on most days.
- Plan around the gaps. With most sessions lasting only two hours, arrive at the start of a window to get the most bowling time.
- Location: 637 High Street, Fairport Harbor, Ohio 44077. Rich Lanes is an 8-lane center, family owned since 1955, so capacity is limited and reservations are sensible for groups.
- Food: The kitchen serves tavern-style food, and Wednesdays feature an all-day wing special (dine-in only).
If you're deciding when to go, weekday afternoons and early evenings offer the lowest per-lane rate, while Friday and Saturday nights cost more but are the only late options.
