Bowling in Vail at Deca + Bol: Hours, Lane Rates, Kids and Booking


Bowling in Vail at Deca + Bol: Hours, Lane Rates, Kids and Booking

Bol is the 10-lane bowling alley inside Deca + Bol in Solaris Plaza, Vail Village (141 E. Meadow Drive). As of September 2026, decabolvail.com lists it open Monday and Wednesday 4 to 10 p.m., Thursday 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. and Friday to Sunday noon to 10 p.m., and closed on Tuesdays. The posted winter rate is $60 per person for 1.5 hours with shoes included.

Lanes are priced per person rather than per lane, a reservation is required, and most nights sell out, so the decision that matters is when to book and how the evening fits around dinner.

How do you book a lane at Bol, and what does it cost?

Reserve online through Deca + Bol; lane reservations are required and most nights sell out. The posted winter rate is $60 per person for 1.5 hours, shoe rental included, with up to seven people per lane. The venue keeps a daily wait list, so call 970.476.5300 if you are running late or your party size changes.

Dinner and bowling are booked through separate links on the venue's reservations page, so a table at DECA does not hold a lane: if bowling is the point of the evening, book the lane first and the table around it.

A weekday afternoon when weather closes the lifts is not a bowling option, since weekday lanes open at 4 p.m. Thursday is the late night, running until 1 a.m.

No fall closure is posted. Deca + Bol has taken an off-season break between ski season and summer before, closing from April 20 until a June reopening, so call 970.476.5300 before planning a visit in April, May, October or early November.

Can you eat and drink at the lanes?

Yes. DECA, the restaurant half of Deca + Bol, serves its full American menu to the lanes, from flatbreads and sliders to garlic Parmesan wings, a grilled buffalo chicken flatbread and pan-seared Norwegian salmon, with crispy chicken strips for younger diners, plus cocktails and a wine list. Current dishes and prices are on the venue's online menu.

Is Bol good for kids?

Yes, before 10 p.m. Bol caters to all ages with family-friendly hours; lanes with anyone under 18 need adult supervision, children count toward the seven-person lane limit, and from 10 p.m. the lanes are 21 and over. An early weekend lane, from noon, is the easiest fit for a family.

  • Families: BOL says it caters to all ages, with family-friendly hours before the 21-and-over rule starts at 10 pm. An early lane keeps the whole group in, and with a limit of seven per lane a larger family may need two.
  • A night out without kids: after 10 pm the venue describes a lively nightlife scene for adults, and Thursday is the one night that runs to 1 am.
  • An evening off the mountain: it is indoors and in the middle of Vail Village. For more plans for weather days, see things to do in Vail when it rains.

Can you book Bol for a group or private event?

Yes. Semi-private lanes are set up for groups of 10 to 35, and the bowling lounge and the dining room each hold up to 100 and can be combined for larger events. In summer, weather permitting, a patio seats 35 or holds a standing crowd of up to 45. Pricing is quoted on request.

The venue is on the free in-town bus route.

What is near Bol for before or after bowling?

From November to April the Solaris ice rink sits just outside the door, with skate rentals. Chasing Rabbits in Vail Village has the Rabbit Hole arcade, open to all ages before 10 p.m., and the restaurant guide and nightlife directory below cover dinner and drinks around the village.
