One possible implementation for opening hours is to change icon color
based on whether the amenity is open right now. OsmAnd does this afaik.
Openlinkmap does something similar, by including a colored text such as
"currently open" in the popup for a facility.

These two examples are interesting because they do something with
opening hours beyond merely displaying the value.

There is also a map that specifically highlights open amenities, but it
appears to be a proof of concept (only available for Germany):
