Tiki Bowling Lanes

Lancaster, Ohio, United States

Tiki Bowling Lanes opened in 1962 on what was then known as Krouse Road (and was later renamed "Tiki Lane" in honor of the business). A Lancaster Eagle-Gazette article on November 29, 1962 described the 32-lane alley as one of the most beautiful, well-equipped bowling lanes in Ohio.

Tiki Bowling Lanes was once much more Tiki, with a cocktail lounge furnished with thatched huts, but today the interior has been stripped down to a more generic bowling alley. The site underwent a major renovation that included the addition of 10 lanes in 1972. The exterior, however, has two gorgeous, large tile mosaics of tikis and torches.
