Yes – this is a real deal! It’s simple – just register (for free) on their website by clicking on your state, then choose the bowling center that’s most convenient for your kids. Then you’ll fill out information and coupons will be emailed to your email address. Only parents can register kids, and only one bowling center can be chosen per account. Each bowling center has its own age limit for kids to be eligible.
Family Pass (& Discount!)
There is also a family pass you can purchase which has been available for as low as $39.95. The family pass covers 2 to 4 adult family members, so adults can bowl with their kids, too! 
Each Family Pass also adds a $.99 activation fee. So the 2 person Family Pass totals $40.94, and the 4 person Family Pass totals $45.94.
Additional costs?
NOTE: In most cases, standard shoe rental fees apply. So you do need to plan for that expense.
Over 35 million kids have participated so far. Definitely worth signing up for some free fun for your kids this summer!
