I did this with my kids for several years. Bought them inexpensive shoes that could be worn at the bowling alley. Check with your local center to find out what shoes can be used.
Enjoy!
Yeah well, you know, that's just like your opinion, man.

Both the above comments hold water. Get your own shoes and it makes it 100% worthwhile.

I participate in this program and also purchased the family pass for ~$100 for 2 adults.

The "2 games" is not 100% valid. They give you 24 minutes per participant now, probably people taking too long to play and hogging a lane. So for 2 kids, you get 48 minutes to bowl. If I didn't have the family pass I could bowl 1 person could bowl for 24 additional minutes for $11. 2 people for $22 would have an additional $48 minutes. So if a husband and wife bowl ~4-5 times over the summer the family pass breaks even.

It's a great rainy day activity in the summer. Without the program hourly bowling rates at my bowling ally are $50 on the weekends (Friday-Sunday) with no pay-per-game play.

The bowling place I used to take my kids to would sell a Family Pass that includes 4 adults to bowl along with your child. They often send discount codes in the email too to buy that pass. That pass is currently $39.99 for my location, but it could vary for other locations. Also, the start and end dates vary by locations. The pass is only good for the location you register at.

The latest code is MOM22 for 22% off.

Code expires May 15, 2024 at 11:59 EST

Oh, I recommend buying your own bowling shoes too, so you don't have to pay for rentals each time. I got some from Amazon Warehouse Deals [amazon.com] many years ago. Not sure if there are any good deals out there for bowling shoes. Maybe try eBay or Goodwill for used bowling shoes for less?

They have a mobile app that allows you to get the bowling coupons for each visit.

Looks good. It tried to give me like 5% off, then offered 31% off to add family. I skipped that, but it looks like (at least my location) only offers M-Th and until 5pm. So if you work during the weekdays, it may not be as attractive. It also seems a little bit questionable with it being subject to availability. Like if I pay for the family pass, I'm unsure if we'll be able to even use it if they determine there's no availability.

It means that you can only play when a lane is available during the times allotted. Although if you want peace of mind, call the bowling alley and ask.

This is a great deal if you have a participating bowling alley in your area, but also pretty good if you have one nearby. We've done this several years in a row.
It's worth it to find some bowling shoes for yourself, since you won't outgrow them. Depending on how often you go, it might be worth it to get shoes for your kids even though they'll only last the year.
I can't recommend this deal enough.
