Mom Tips for Kids Bowl Free:

  1. You can add the Family Pass to your account at the time of registration for just under $38. This gets your whole family bowling by adding 4 adults ages 16+ to your Kids Bowl Free account. Mom money-saving tip: When it asks you if you'd like the family pass say, "No thanks!" it will direct you to another pop-up window that gives you anywhere from 10-25% off the pass.  
  2. Call ahead to see if lane pre-registration is required. Save Big Al's number on your cell phone (909) 321-2813 for easy access! 
  3. You can pay for shoes for the summer too! Just ask the front desk for their current pricing. Shoes can be $5 for each rental however their summer shoe rental can be as low as $20 for the summer. Their prices are not out for Summer 2021 as of yet so it could be a bit higher. It's worth it if you plan to go a lot. 
  4. Kids Bowl Free (2 games free per day) is good Monday - Friday. Weekends are full-price bowling so plan when to go accordingly. 
  5. Go during their Happy Hour which is Monday-Friday 3 PM-6 PM.  Then you can grab snacks for you and the kids and save money! Plus their arcade has half-off games from 2-6 Monday-Friday! 
  6. Budget for the arcade! You may be going to bowl but with the arcade, right in the front we can't help but stop and play a few games while we are there. I load a set amount for the kids and they know when it's gone, it's gone! 
  7. Bowl with the kids too! Be sure to add that family pass and jump in on the fun! Your kids will love to see you let loose and bowl alongside them. Create funny code names for each of your player names, and make memories! 
  8. Pack extra socks to keep in the car for everyone at all times. Hot summer days usually = flip-flops. We've shown up to bowl and had to run to Target, located conveniently in the same shopping center for socks because someone forgot theirs at home. Some days we would head to bowl from a friend's house so it just helps to always carry socks in the car and be prepared to bowl any time of day!
