FREE Bowling for Kids this Summer in Ocean County, NJ

Bowling is fun for all ages and when it's FREE it's even better.

Before Covid-19, my family and I would bowl every Sunday morning. It's nice to see bowling alleys open and pretty busy. I know I tried to get a lane several weeks ago and it was so crowded and I love to see that.

Kids love bowling and when we can do it as a family, it's even better. I love this idea of FREE bowling, especially in the summer because let's face it, kids get bored. Now, they won't get bored. Bowling every week will keep them busy.
