Have you heard of the Kids Bowl Free program? It’s an awesome program where local bowling allies allow kids, 15 years old and under, to bowl two FREE games EVERY DAY from May to August! How amazing is that? And if you’d like to bowl with your kids, you can purchase a family pass for just $24.95, and then you and up to three other adults can also bowl two free games every day! That’s right…every day!

We received a Family Pass for review so we could go check out our participating local alley, Pioneer Lanes. Bowling is one of Donovan’s very favorite things to do, so I was really looking forward to trying Kids Bowl Free. He got so excited when we went last week. As soon as we had our shoes, he ran right up to the lane, grabbed his ball, and bowled!

And even though he’s only three, he bowled his whole two games and half of mine! By the time we were finished, he needed a little help carrying his ball from the ball return up to the lane, but he wasn’t giving up! And he loves waiting to watch the ball pop out of the return machine!

It’s really easy to sign up, too! Just visit the website and search for your bowling alley—allies all over the country participate, so you should be able to find one near you. Then fill out the registration form and purchase a family pass if you want to. You can add up to six children and if you get a family pass, up to four adults. Then, each week, they will send you an email that contains coupons for each day of bowling. Just print your coupons and present them to your bowling alley. Shoe rental fees still apply, but your two games will be free. And, since shoe rental is only $2.50 at our alley, it’s really economical.

And even though he’s too little to bowl, Avery loved it too! We will be going at least once a week throughout the summer. It’s such a great way to get your kids out of the house and away from the video games while they’re out of school. Plus, it’s a great way to get a little exercise in and to spend quality time together! And, even if you don’t intend to go every day, or even every week, Kids Bowl Free will still save you some money to sign up! Even if you only go once!
