The program aims to serve children ages 1-15, but different alleys may have different age ranges. Sign-up is free and kids can enjoy two free games per day, all summer long—some alleys offer discounted unlimited school rental passes for the summer, so be sure to ask about that! With over 1,300 participating bowling centers, families can search online to find the bowling center nearest to them and strike up a summer of bowling fun together.

This ” is a program created with families in mind, offering children a fun and safe way to stay active and engaged all summer long. Since 2007, we’ve partnered with bowling centers across the US, Canada and around the globe at US military bases with bowling to give kids the chance to bowl two free games every day during the summer – all at no cost to parents.

Our mission is simple: to provide an affordable activity that brings families together, encourages active play, and creates lasting memories. With Kids Bowl Free, you can spend quality time with your children, watch them make new friends, and enjoy the excitement of bowling without worrying about the expense.
