The weather is warming up and the pollen is attacking my body, so that means it'll soon be time for the return of the popular kids bowl free all summer promotion. I'm happy to report I have confirmation this offer is returning for 2026!
If you live near one of the 1,300 participating bowling centers, then sign up and your children will get two free games of bowling every day this summer. That's valued at over $500.
During registration, you can also optionally pay for a one time Family Pass, which allows adults, older siblings, and babysitters to also bowl along with the registered kids. This will allow for up to 4 additional people to bowl free during designated Kids Bowl Free hours. Both the price of this pass and designated bowling hours will be location-specific, so be sure to look at the details of your spot while registering. Like I said, this is completely optional though and if you don't purchase it today, you can do so later on if you change your mind.
A bunch of free games and an optional discounted pass for adults isn't a bad deal if you ask me. Though to be fair nobody asked me. I guess that's what I get for being single, living alone, and working from home.
Too bad I still don't live with my family, because they're pretty big bowlers. Oh, they don't take the actual bowling part too seriously. They're more of a “who wants another round of nachos and drinks?” type enthusiasts! 😀
Extra Savings Tip
If you find you're a frequent bowler, ask your local lane if they allow you to bring your own bowling shoes. Then, if they do, consider picking up your own pair and saving on shoe rentals! Whether or not your location allows for outside shoes is totally up to them though, so be sure to ask ahead of time.
