Kids Bowl Free All Summer in Sacramento
If you’re looking for fun things to do with kids when it’s too hot or rainy in Sacramento in the summertime, take them bowling for free! Kids Bowl Free is one of the essential things to do in Sacramento in the summer. It’s the perfect activity to get kids active in an air-conditioned space and to occupy them when school lets out for the summer.
Kids Bowl Free is a nationwide program available at select bowling alleys in Sacramento. Children ages 2 to 15 are eligible for the program.
There are no strings attached to this incredible deal. Each child registered for the program receives two free bowling games daily for the entire summer!
How to Register for Kids Bowl Free
1. First, register children on the Kids Bowl Free website.
2. Next, select the participating bowling alley under California (in the Sacramento area) that you plan to bowl for free.
3. Enter and submit your children’s information in the registration section for the specific bowling alley chosen.
4. Daily coupons for two free daily games of bowling are then sent via email or through the Kids Bowl Free app on Sunday each week.
Note that dates and times of the Kids Bowl Free Program vary for each participating bowling alley.
Adding a Family Pass
When registering, there will be an option to add a Family Pass. There are different tiers of the Family Pass. The options grant either one adult, two adults, or up to four adults to bowl for free through the Kids Bowl Free program for the same two free games each day, all summer. For a one-time fee, parents (or grandparents, caregivers, older siblings, etc.) can join their kids to bowl for free.
The Family Pass tiers vary in price. For one adult, it’s $37.95. For two, it’s $42.95. For four adults, it’s $47.95. There are a limited number of Family Passes per bowling alley.
Once a bowling alley runs out of Family Passes, the option to purchase one is no longer available. A Family Pass can also be added after registering, pending if any remain.
To bowl all summer for one price of around $40 is an absolute steal! I recently went bowling and was shocked at how expensive bowling is now. It can add up to around $50 for one hour of bowling. For an hour of bowling, two games are a safe bet on how many will likely fit in that timeframe.
As someone who loves bowling and was aghast at how expensive bowling has become, I would definitely recommend jumping on the Family Pass and joining in on the fun of bowling for free with your kids all summer.
Bowling Shoes
While kids bowl free through this program, bowling shoes are not included. Children will need to rent shoes to bowl. The easiest way to rent shoes is from the participating bowling alleys.
