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

Pricing is per lane, not per person, which matters if you're bringing a group. Rates are lower on weekdays and higher on weekends and Friday evenings.

Day / Time Price per Lane
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.
