Looking for fun and affordable things to do with your kids in Philly this summer? The Kids Bowl Free program is back and it’s one of our favorite family activities of the season!
This blog post may contain affiliate links. We earn a small commission for sharing, at no additional cost to you.
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.
