Kids Bowl Free offers a way for kids to bowl for free all summer. Bowling is a fun and engaging way to stay active and beat the heat. It’s a sport that can be enjoyed by all ages and skill levels, making it a perfect activity for families to do together.
AMF Summer Games Season Pass used to be an additional low-cost way for kids to bowl in the summertime, but AMF is no longer offering that program. Individual AMF Bowling Centers might offer their own summer programs, however.
Read on to learn about the Kids Bowl Free program!

Kids Bowl Free
Kids Bowl Free is a free summer bowling for kids. Registered children can bowl 2 games a day for free, all summer. The age requirement is set by the bowling center. Some offer free bowling to kids up to age 18, and some set the age limit to 14 or 15.
First find the one closest to you and then click on the bowling center to register. The start dates and end dates differ between bowling centers. Some start in April, and some go until October.
