If your family likes to bowl or skate, don’t miss out on these fun programs! Your kids can bowl AND skate for free all summer long!
Kids Bowl Free
We’ve participated in this program for YEARS and my kids love it! They think it’s so much fun… and I think it’s nice to escape the summer heat and hide in a nice, air-conditioned alley. My children ask about this program all year long… and some of them cry when September puts an end to their free fun.
Each child receives coupons for TWO free bowling games EVERY DAY during the summer! That’s over $500 in savings per child.
Participation dates and times vary by bowling alley. Our local alley offers free bowling every day from April 10 to October 31!
For a one-time fee, you can also add parents to the program so that the entire family can bowl two free games each day! Shoe rentals are not included, though.
The 2019 family pass is just $49.95 for four adults. It’s a fantastic deal!
However, I’ve found that you can save more money on the family pass if you do not buy it at the same time you sign the kids up. I usually buy it at the same time, but this year I didn’t… and I’ve received email after email with coupon codes for a family pass!
Simply sign up online… and once the program starts, you’ll receive coupons that can be redeemed at your local bowling alley! Ours allows us to do it online without printing them, as well. It’s way more convenient!
Kids Skate Free
Get two free skating passes for each child, every week of the summer through the Kids Skate Free program! This program is newer and not as well established as the bowling program, so there are fewer participating centers. However, you can see all the details and sign up at KidsSkateFree.com!

Patty, There is places in Ohio, but I'm not sure about Columbus or what is close to Columbus. You could head back to our Kids Can Bowl article, click on the link and check your state to see what they have available near you. I hope this helps. -Riley

Thank you so much for publishing this! I have had EBT for years and never knew that we could do so many things with it! My mother is upset because she bought my family an expensive membership at the Wonderlab and The Children's Museum and i just showed her we could have gained admittance with only a few dollars!

I'm so glad we've been helpful to you, Kristen! That's so cool that your mom is willing and able to do things like that for your family. I'm not sure it would work, but you could contact them and ask for a refund. Some of our readers have reported that some organizations (including Amazon) have issued retroactive refunds for people who had already paid before they knew about the discounts. It never hurts to try.
