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.
