There's a place you can take your kids bowling for free all summer long, and it's not far away if you live in Yakima and Moses Lake. What's the catch?

Where to Take Kids to Bowl for Free

Years ago, when my now teenage daughter was still in elementary school, I first found out about Kids Bowl Free. It's a program that encourages kids to not only get out of the house and do something fun during the summer school break, but it also encourages a little bit of exercise and (hopefully) family bonding time.

Several bowling centers across the country participate in this fun escape, including thirty-four cities here in Washington State.

Kids living in Moses Lake can go to Lake Bowl (1165 N Stratford Rd) and those living in Yakima can bowl for free at Nob Hill Bowl Casino (3807 W Nob Hill Blvd).

What's the Catch?

The deal only applies to kids ages 2 through 15 and they can bowl two games for free. This is per day, so your kids can go bowling as many times during the week as you want!

The other catch is that you need to find the right time to bowl with kids. Some bowling centers have League Nights, which means there might not be any open lanes, so it's very important to call the bowling center and ask them for the best time to bring in your kids.

You have to sign up your kids in advance; you can't just show up and ask to let your kids bowl for free. This year, Kids Bowl Free ends on Monday, August 31st. For more info, visit KidsBowlFree.com.
