725 South Main Street

Open every day but one

Walk in or call the center for lane availability. It keeps its doors open seven days a week, with one day of closure a year.

Forty-four lanes of candlepin on South Main

Forty-four candlepin lanes make Academy Lanes one of the larger candlepin houses in Massachusetts, and the center itself says it ranks among the biggest in the world. The building is at 725 South Main Street in Haverhill, in the 01835 postal area.

Opening is a point of pride: the doors are open seven days a week and 364 days a year, so the only day to avoid is the one closure. The center's page does not give a rate card or a clock-by-clock schedule, which means a quick phone call is the best way to check lane availability before arriving. With this many lanes, groups and leagues can both be handled at the same time.
