One of our favorite things to do as family in Philly is bowl! There's so many great, family friendly bowling alleys in Philadelphia! Did you know that kids bowl free at participating locations?
Kids Bowl Free was created over 15 years ago! Each registered kid receives two free games of bowling all summer long! We love bowling in the summer, it's a great way to beat the heat!
Over 1,500 bowling centers around the US provide two free games of bowling each day for kids. It's available during the spring and summer months. A great way to keep our kids safe and off these Philadelphia streets!
To sign up find a participating bowling alley in your area. We've got two in Philadelphia and a few more in surrounding areas! Personally, we love MacDade Bowl!
Once you've found your preferred location, register your kid(s). If registration is not open yet, no worries! Simply fill out the form and Kids Bowl Free will notify you when registration is open!
Family passes are available for purchase! This is optional. It's for the Philly moms and dads who want to bowl with their kids! The family pass is a one time payment that allows up to four (4) adults to bowl two free games with their kids! Family passes must be purchased online. They're not available at any of the bowling locations. Sign up here!
