I love it when families love to explore and find unique locations! Pair it with some fun clothing and its a session meant-to-be.
Check out http://www.kidsbowlfree.com/ At participating alleys, kids can bowl up to 2 games per day for free. Just rent shoes. And for $23.95 you can add up to 4 adults onto the pass to bowl up to 2 games per day.
Most centers accept bowlers using this pass until 7pm. A great way to spend some time together!
