Summer has a way of stretching out in front of you, then filling up faster than expected.
Between school breaks, busy work schedules, and long afternoons where kids need something to do, families are always searching for activities that are reliable, affordable, and easy to repeat. That’s where the AMF Summer Season Pass comes in.
It’s designed to make summer planning simple. One pass unlocks daily bowling, built-in value, and a go-to activity that works for all ages.
Here’s everything you need to know.
What is the AMF Summer Season Pass?
The AMF Summer Season Pass includes:
2 games of bowling per day
Shoe rental included
Valid May 18 through September 1
Redemption times vary by location
Premium Pass holders can use their pass at any AMF, Lucky Strike or Bowlero location after first activation at their purchase center. Basic Passes are valid at the purchase location.
If you’re ready to find your home center, you can use the AMF location finder to choose your location.
Why bowling works so well in the summer
Summer activities need to be flexible. Some days are busy. Some are wide open. Weather changes quickly. Plans shift.
Bowling gives families a structured activity without the pressure of an all-day commitment. It works for younger kids, teens, and adults at the same time. It’s active, social, and weather-proof.
Instead of scrambling for last-minute plans, the Summer Season Pass makes bowling an easy answer throughout the week.
Basic vs Premium: understanding your options
The AMF Summer Season Pass comes in two versions, both built around daily value.
The Basic Pass
The Basic Pass includes:
2 games of bowling per day
Shoe rental
Valid at the purchase location
This is ideal for families who plan to visit their local AMF center consistently throughout the summer.
The Premium Pass
The Premium Pass includes everything in Basic, plus:
$5 arcade card reload per visit
15% off food and non-alcoholic beverages
Usable at any AMF, Lucky Strike or Bowlero location after activation at the center of purchase
For families who expect to visit often or want added perks, Premium quickly increases overall value.
You can preview available food and beverage options by visiting the AMF menu before your visit, especially helpful if you plan to use your food discount.
The value adds up quickly
The Summer Season Pass is built for repeat visits.
Even if your family bowls just once or twice a week, the cost spreads across the entire summer. Frequent visits multiply the value even further.
Premium users can also take advantage of party discounts through AMF social events or plan celebrations with AMF kids’ parties, making the pass useful beyond everyday visits.
It becomes more than an activity. It becomes part of your summer routine.
Presale: Plan ahead and save
The Presale window runs March 10 through May 17. During the Presale, guests can get 10% off the price of a Basic or Premium Summer Season Pass.
If you know bowling will be part of your summer plans, purchasing during the Presale helps you maximize savings.
Regular Season: Daily fun begins May 18
Pass redemption begins May 18. This is when families start actively using their passes, building routines, and making bowling a regular part of their summer schedule.
A dependable plan for the entire family
The best summer activities are the ones that feel easy.
With daily bowling, upgrade flexibility, and built-in perks, the AMF Summer Season Pass removes the guesswork from summer planning. It keeps kids active, gives parents a reliable option, and creates shared time that feels simple and fun.
When summer arrives, you’ll already have a plan in place.
