Kids Bowl Free all summer!

Thank you Susan, for the tip!!

Kids can bowl 2 games for FREE every day of the summer if you register them at https://www.kidsbowlfree.com/.  Then you have the opportunity to purchase a pass for you (and 3 additional adults) to join them all summer for $25.  In addition, you will get a $25 certificate to restaurants.com

In Arlington, Alley Cats is the participating bowling alley.  Their regular rates $17.99 per lane, per hour weekdays until 5.  There is also a special called "Morning Madness" (Sun-Fri 9-1) that is $15.99 per person for unlimited bowling during those hours, a $10 play card, a hot dog and drink.

It's a little hard to compare the prices since they are not really apples to apples comparisons, but it seems like a good deal to purchase the adult add-ons IF you just want to bowl a little bit each time, but go more than once. . . oh yea, and not get caught up by all the extra stuff Alley Cats has to offer. :)
