How does Kids Bowl Free work?
More than 1,500 bowling centers around the globe participate in the Kids Bowl Free program, and since 2007, more than 35 million kids and families have participated. To register, it’s pretty simple– locate a participating bowling center near you, register your kids, and enjoy. Participating bowling centers set their age limits, so be sure to check the center’s registration page for more details (many accommodate 15 years old and younger).
Once you’re signed up, you’ll receive vouchers every week via email for each child registered. These vouchers entitle your little ones to two free games of bowling per day, all summer long. Although shoe rentals are not included, many centers offer discounted shoe rental options or you can bring your own. Some bowling centers even offer a Family Pass Program which offers 2 free games of bowling to family members accompanying the child at a disounted rate for the summer.
