Looking for free summer activities for kids? If you’re searching for bowling near me or just want to beat the heat with a fun indoor activity, the Kids Bowl Free program is the perfect way to enjoy free bowling all summer long in Lakeland, Winter Haven, and Lake Wales.
What is Kids Bowl Free?
Kids Bowl Free (KBF) is a nationwide program that partners with local bowling centers to offer free bowling for kids all summer long. Registered kids receive coupons for two free games per day at their selected bowling alley. Family passes are also available at a low cost, allowing parents and older siblings to join the family friendly fun.
Pro Tip: Passes are only valid at the location you register for, so make sure to choose the bowling alley nearest you!

Kids Bowl Free – How it Works
Register your kids for Kids Bowl Free Program to receive FREE Bowling for Kids All Summer Long. Be sure to sign up through the Kids Bowl Free website, most bowling alleys do not offer on site sign up. Your passes will be valid for a specific location so be sure you sign up for bowling near you.
Once the program begins, you will receive an email every weekend that contains a link to your free bowling coupons for that week. Visit the bowling alley during the posted Kids Bowl Free hours and have fun!
Shoe rental is not included in most offers—check your alley’s policy. Passes cannot be used for parties, camps, or group events.
Family Pass / Adult Passes Available!
Family Passes for other family members and adults to bowl are also available at an additional cost AFTER you register for Kids Bowl Free. They provide 2 games of bowling daily per person and can only be purchased through the Kids Bowl Free program, not at the bowling alley.
If you’re reading this but aren’t local to Lakeland and Winter Haven, Florida, visit the Kids Bowl Free website to find a participating local bowling alley near you.
Don’t include the kids who are eligible for Kids Bowl Free! If buying for just mom and dad you only need a 2-person family bowling pass. Please note that Family Passes are valid for use only during posted Kids Bowl Free times.
