Lanes are priced by the hour, and prices climb at weekends

Manhattan bowling alleys usually charge per lane per hour plus shoe hire, and Friday and Saturday nights are the most expensive and busiest times. Walk-ins are possible but may face a wait at weekends, so call ahead if you have a group. Several venues become 21-and-over in the evening, so check the age rules if children are coming.
