Children whose age does not exceed a limit (usually 15) by a participating bowling center (Freeway Lanes, Wickliffe Lanes) are eligible to register for 2 free games a day, all summer long, courtesy of the participating bowling centers along with the schools and organizations. For older teens and adults, you can pay $34.95 for the AMF Summer Plus, which will get you two free games per day for up to four people ages 15 and older. Either way you will still have to rent shoes, but you could always buy a cheap pair online.
