- Chelsea Lanes – Ages 2-15
- Station 300 in Saline, kids need to be between ages 2-15.
- Spins Bowl requires kids to be ages 2-12.

Do Kids Really Bowl Free?
Yes and No. Kids receive two free games a day during designated hours. However, bowling shoes are required and rentals are not included. If you plan to take advantage of Kids Bowl Free a lot, you may want to consider purchasing bowling shoes. Last year, I quickly looked on Amazon, and was disappointed in the price – $40+/pair. Or, you could try looking locally at Play It Again Sports. Still, if you plan to bowl frequently and have multiple kids you can pass them down to, it may be worth it.
What If I Want to Bowl with My Kids or Have Older Kids?
Unfortunately, parents don’t bowl free with their kids. However, the Kids Bowl Free Family Pass program allows parents, older siblings, caregivers, and other adults to pay a flat fee to bowl with their kids all summer long.
Pricing for the Kids Bowl Free Family Pass is not available until you sign your kids up for the program. This makes it difficult to comparison shop the participating kids bowl free locations near Ann Arbor.
When Can We Bowl?
Hours vary by bowling alley and may be restricted at busy times.
Can I Bowl Free at Another Bowling Alleys?
Unfortunately, you can only register for a single bowling alley per account. Your Family Pass is also only valid at one bowling alley.
