Kids Bowl Free

I grew up with an obscure type of bowling called candlepin. The balls are smaller and you have three balls per frame. It's probably harder for children to knock down the pins (they are smaller, too), than those in ten-pin, but it's nice that little kids can pick up the balls by themselves!

Most likely in an effort to introduce bowling to the next generation, bowling centers around the country are offering 2 free games of bowling every day this summer. The program is called "Kids Bowl Free."

When you sign up on their website, you will receive coupons every week for your free games. You can also purchase a Family Pass for $23.95 which enables up to four named adults to play two games per day. Each center can make its own restrictions, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.

Unfortunately for us in north Atlanta, there are no locations close by. But those of you in Snellville, Marietta, Woodstock - or around the country - have at it!
