What is Kids Bowl Free?
Kids Bowl Free was created with families in mind, offering children a fun and safe way to stay active and engaged during the summer months. Since 2007, the program has partnered with bowling centers across the U.S. and Canada—and around the globe at U.S. military bases with bowling—to help make summer fun more affordable for families everywhere.
