Kids can bowl two free games every day all summer long at participating bowling centers across the city and surrounding areas. It’s a great way to keep kids moving, beat the heat, and make memories without spending a fortune.
🎳 Here’s how it works:
Sign your kids up on the Kids Bowl Free website, select your participating bowling alley, and you’ll receive free game coupons all summer. You can even add a family pass so parents and older siblings can join in on the fun too.

🗺️ Participating Philly-Area Bowling Centers:
Make sure to check the Kids Bowl Free website for specific dates and times for each location!
This is a great go-to for rainy days, super hot afternoons, or just when your kids need to burn off some energy. Don’t forget to pack socks and bring a few dollars for shoe rental or snacks.
