Kids can Bowl for Free in York

Kids Bowl Free is again offering FREE bowling for kids this summer.  In the York area a few bowling centers are participating with this program that offers kids under the age of 15 free bowling (times and days vary depending on the location you choose).  Up to 4 adult family members (or baby sitters) can be added to the purchase of the family pass for about $25.  This is for 2 games per person per session all summer.  The pass is valid while bowling with your child(ren).  Shoe rentals are extra for kids and the adult family pass.  
Local bowling centers that are participating include:
Lion Bowling Center in Red Lion
Colony Park East
Colony Park Lanes North
Lincolnway Bowling Center
Suburban Bowlerama
Hanover Bowling Centre

Have you participated in Kids Bowl Free?  We signed up for the first time this year.  We'll likely visit on rainy days or extremely hot ones.  Shoe rentals are fairly inexpensive and it's a great way to support your local community.  Indoor places like this don't get as much business in the summer months so it's a great compromise on their part to get business they wouldn't normally have.  

York, PA Families on Facebook

I've mentioned before that York, Pa Families is on Facebook but I thought I'd mention it again because I've been doing a lot of Facebook-only posting and sharing.  It hasn't been reaching the blog because I've been so busy with home life and it's much easier to make a quick post on Facebook.  Terrible of me and I apologize!  Once I get into the summer swing I should hopefully get a little better.  Until then, like York, PA Families for more up-to-date info on what's going on around york for families and kids!  


Also, feel free to email me with your family-friendly activities that are happening in or near York, PA.  After a review your activity might be published.
