Kids Bowl Free Program

March 24, 2022

Keeping kids active and entertained over summer break can be challenging and expensive. But if you live near a participating bowling alley, your child can bowl all summer long free of charge as part of an ongoing national program.

Bowling centers and schools designed Kids Bowl Free as a way to give back to their communities. Kids registered in their local program can bowl two games a day, Monday through Saturday, free for the whole summer.

Millions of kids enjoy free bowling every year, as stated in a post on the program’s Facebook page, which also says that 1,450 bowling alleys in the U.S. and Canada are participating in the 15th Annual Kids Bowl Free program.

“Did you know that over the past 14 years that more than 35 million kids have participated in Kids Bowl Free,” they wrote in the post. “Registration for the Summer of 2022 begins in just a couple of weeks, we’re super excited to have many new centers participating in 2022.”

Getting in on the fun is easy. Go to KidsBowlFree and click on Show Centers Near Me or choose your state, province, or military base from the list to find one of the nearby participating locations and register.

You can sign up your kids to bowl at multiple centers, but you will need to create an additional account using a unique email address for each location. There is also a limit of six children per account.
