The summer calendar fills up before you know it, and the plans that hold up are the ones that don't require a lot of effort to repeat. The AMF Summer Season Pass is exactly that kind of plan — two free games of bowling every day from May 18 through September 1, free shoe rental included, and the option to upgrade for even more. One purchase, and the whole family has somewhere to go all summer long.
This week is the last chance to get it at 10% off. The presale discount ends May 17. Whether you're planning ahead for the kids, looking for a reliable family activity, or just want a built-in reason to get out of the house on weekday afternoons, the time to buy is now — before the deal closes and the season begins.
Everything included with the pass
The Basic Summer Season Pass covers two free games of bowling and complimentary shoe rental on every visit. That means no lane fees, no shoe charges, and no surprises at the counter — just show up and bowl. The pass is valid from May 18 through September 1 at your home AMF center, which is the whole summer covered from the first week of school break through Labor Day.
For families who want more built into every visit, the Premium Pass adds $5 in arcade play credits per visit and 15% off food and non-alcoholic beverages all season. For a family that visits two or three times a week, those perks add real value across the summer. The Premium Pass also unlocks cross-brand access: after first activation at your home AMF center, the pass works at any AMF, Bowlero, or Lucky Strike location nationwide. Families who travel during the summer or have multiple locations nearby get a lot of mileage out of that flexibility.
A summer activity that works for the whole family
Bowling works for families because it works for every age. Little ones get bumpers and lightweight balls sized for small hands. Older kids get competitive. Parents get a game they can actually play alongside everyone else — not just watch. Nobody's bored, nobody's waiting around, and the whole visit moves at the pace your family sets.
Air-conditioned, easy to repeat, and available any day of the week — bowling is what summer afternoons were made for when it's too hot to be outside. The AMF Summer Season Pass makes every one of those visits feel effortless because the cost is already handled. Browse the AMF menu for laneside food and snack options that keep the visit going without anyone needing to leave for a meal. For families planning a summer birthday or a group celebration, Kids Parties and Teen Parties at AMF are a natural pairing with the season pass experience.
The value adds up quickly
Run the numbers on a family that bowls twice a week. That's close to 30 visits across the summer. Spread the one-time pass cost across those visits and the per-visit cost is low from the start — and that's before shoe rentals, which are included every time. For Premium holders, add in food savings and daily arcade credits and the pass earns its cost within the first handful of visits. Everything after that is pure value.
The 10% presale discount makes that math even more favorable. The pass works exactly the same whether you buy it today or May 18 — but buying now, before the presale closes, means paying less for the full season. That difference is real, and there's no reason to leave it on the table.
Don't miss the 5/17 deadline
The presale closes Saturday, May 17. After that, the 10% discount expires and full pricing applies for the rest of the summer. Find your nearest center using the AMF location finder and grab your pass this week. For current in-season offers running alongside the pass, keep an eye on AMF specials throughout the summer.
