About Us

Rab’s Country Lanes, at the corner of Hylan Boulevard & Rab Wilkinson Way (Delaware Avenue) in Staten Island, NY is owned by the Wilkinson Family, has been providing a fun, safe haven for New York City residents for nearly 30 years.  More than just your neighborhood bowling alley, each year Rab’s helps local organizations raise over $500,000 through fundraisers and events. Rab’s boasts one of the largest youth bowling programs in the United States and awards over $25,000 in scholarships to its youth bowlers annually.

Rab’s was listed #1 among the Top 31 Small Businesses on Staten Island by the Staten Island Economic Development Corporation (SIEDC) in 2018, recognized by the City of New York as the Staten Island Small business of the Year and as a Health Hero by the SIEDC in 2013. In 2015, Rab’s was named one of the Top 50 Small Businesses in NYC by 1010 WINS.

When it comes to family fun, there’s no place like Rab’s.  In addition to our bowling alley, lounge, party rooms, eats, redemption arcade, and pro shop, we offer something every community needs: a place for people to get away from their everyday lives and have fun with friends and family. And as a family-owned business from day one, we’ve always gone the extra mile to make sure our customers feel like family, too.
