Kids Bowl Free: Strike Up Some Fun around Binghamton

Sign up for Kids Bowl Free Program at Ripics Carousel Lanes in Binghamton or Ideal Lanes in Endicott

By Kate Fletcher, Macaroni KID Binghamton Publisher March 3, 2024

The Kids Bowl Free program is back for 2024, offering children aged 2-18 the opportunity to enjoy FREE bowling May thru August. This exciting nationwide initiative gives children the chance to enjoy two free games of bowling every day, all summer long. It's a fantastic way to escape the summer heat, fill up rainy days, and create lasting family memories.

Participating is easy! Simply visit the Kids Bowl Free website and choose a bowling center near you to sign up. Our community currently has two participating locations: Ripics Carousel Lanes in Binghamton, NY and Ideal Bowling Center in Endicott, NY. Registration takes just a few minutes, and once your child is signed up, they can enjoy two free games every day throughout the program.
