Back Summer 2027 · Plainfield, IL
Free summer bowling for kids. Back in 2027.
The 2026 season wrapped August 14. Leave your number and you get first word — and a first-day signup spot — when it comes back next summer.
How it works when it's back
- 2 free games per day for kids 12 & under
- Weekday afternoons, all summer — 2027 dates announced in spring
- Sign up once each summer, then just give your number at the front desk
Waitlist perk: you hear first when dates are set — and signup opens for waitlist families before the public window.
Until next summer
Kids' birthday parties run year-round — two hours in the VIP suite with a host who handles it. Or check walk-in pricing for a family afternoon.

What it is
Free summer bowling. Every year.
Each summer, kids 12 & under bowl free at Twisted Pin in Plainfield — 2 games a day on weekday afternoons, no coupons or printing. Adults and teens bowl alongside at the walk-in rate. The 2026 season ran June 1 through August 14; 2027 dates land in spring, and the waitlist hears first.
While you wait
The lanes didn't go anywhere.
Walk-in bowling runs year-round — see pricing — and kids' birthday parties book every week. The 28-tap self-serve beer & wine wall and the bar program curated by Brian Van Flandern, America's Top Mixologist, don't take summers off either.
