Kids Bowl Free is a family-friendly program that allows kids to bowl at no cost, all summer long. This is a great indoor option for days that are rainy or extra hot and humid.

Once your children are registered with the program, they can bowl two games a day for FREE, all summer long.

The individual bowling alleys decide on the age requirement for their location.
Some offer the free games to kids all the way to age 18, while others have a cutoff of 14 or 15.

All of the participating bowling centers include the summer months of June, July, and August.
A few run the program from April to October each year.

In general, bowling shoes won’t be included with the free games.

A list of participating metro Atlanta bowling centers is just below. 

TIP:
If you’re planning to go bowling with family or friends, it’s worth it to check Groupon for discounted bowling offers, before you head out.

You can take an Blue or Green train to the Dome MARTA Station, and then exit by following signs for State Farm Arena. You’ll go up the escalators to the street, turn left onto Centennial Olympic Park Drive, left on Marietta St, and you’re there.

We recommend the MARTA app for your mobile phone to find train schedules. And Google Maps does a great job of helping you get somewhere via the train — just switch the directions from driving to transit (it will automatically include the walking steps, turn by turn).

Bank of America, Vet Tix and FIFA announced a partnership to provide $2.25 million in FREE World Cup 2026 tickets to veterans, current military, first responders and their families who live near Atlanta.

In case you aren’t familiar, Vet Tix is a nonprofit that provides free event tickets to sporting events, concerts, performing arts, and family activities to give back to the heroes who serve our country. 

The number of tickets given away will vary by venue, and we don’t know how many will be allocated to Atlanta. 

Here’s how it will work: 

Tickets will be available starting with the second match played in the U.S., spanning all stages of the tournament through the final.

To be eligible for the tickets, honorably discharged veterans and currently serving military members can sign up for an account at vettix.org.

Current and retired first responders can register at 1sttix.org.

Eligible first responders include:
law enforcement
fire fighters
EMS
registered nurses
911 dispatchers

Both platforms are free to sign up on, and eligibility for both programs is securely verified through ID.me.

Once the World Cup 2026 tickets are available, Vet Tix and 1st Tix members will receive an email alert to secure the chance to score free tickets to a match in Atlanta.

This info came to us in a media alert, and that’s all we know so far.

The official FIFA World Cup Fan Festival is taking place this summer at Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta. It offers all fans an opportunity to experience the World Cup tournament outside of stadium walls. 

The Fan Festival is FREE to attend, but you must download a ticket for a specific date. (The details on ticketing are just below.) 

The festival is currently scheduled for 18 days between June 11th and July 15th, and is promised to be an immersive experience. It’s hosted by the City of Atlanta and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority (GWCCA). 

In addition to the free experiences, there’s the option to buy tickets for an upgraded experience (see below).

NOTE that there will be a Clear Bag Policy in effect.

The festival will cover the entire footprint of Centennial Park.
It includes:

• Live broadcasts of tournament matches on giant LED screens
• Concerts, DJ sets, and global entertainment
• Interactive soccer-related experiences and games
• Diverse, international food and beverage vendors
• Murals, art, and graphics throughout the park
• Official merchandise for sale 

According to a press release, there will be four distinct programming areas in the park: 

• Main Stage will be the focal point of the FIFA Fan Festival featuring concerts and a 40-foot screen, which will showcase live matches and highlights from across the tournament (schedule below). 
• The Playground will feature activations and games geared to younger fans.
• The Pitch will host a community stage, podcasts, and AR/VR-enhanced sound experiences.
• Georgia Street will showcase artists and food vendors from across the region.

Others that will perform include DJ Rasta Root, Guero, Kevin Egan, Florista, B.bruja, Jay Envy, Sofa King Evil, Brixla, and Key.

You can get up to six free passes per order.

Getting there

In a nutshell — you need to take MARTA. 
Traffic will be a nightmare and downtown parking will be nonexistent. 

Centennial Park is an easy 5-10 minute walk from either:
• the GWCC/CNN Station on the Blue/Green line 
• the Peachtree Center Station on the Red/ Gold line

In case you don’t know, MARTA has transitioned to the Better Breeze fare system, in anticipation of heavy use during the FIFA World Cup games. 
See our guide to using Better Breeze

Historic Fourth Ward Park is truly an urban oasis in Atlanta.

Getting there

If you happen to live along the BeltLine, Historic Fourth Ward Park is easily accessed on foot via the connecting Gateway Trail. You can also walk from many midtown neighborhoods.

If you’re taking Uber or Lyft, give the driver the address of 693 Rankin Street, which will put you near the top of the amphitheatre.

If you’re driving, know that parking can be tricky, as the streetside spots fill up quickly. Look for parking along Angier Avenue, Morgan Street, Garden Park Drive, Dallas Street, and Rankin Street.

If you don’t mind paying for parking, you can leave your car at Ponce City Market and walk over. 

If you want to take MARTA, it’s about a 30-minute walk to the park from either the North Avenue Station (walk on city streets) or Inman Park Station (walk on the BeltLine). The 889 bus can get you closer to the park entrance. MARTA has an excellent guide on getting to the park online.

About the venue

Historic Fourth Ward Park is a true urban oasis in Atlanta. The park features paved walking trails, a playground, a skate park, and a large pond that is home to ducks, turtles, fish, and the occasional heron or egret. A tiered, grassy amphitheater at one end of the pond creates an inviting space for performances and even weddings.

Video overview of Historic Fourth Ward Park:

A grassy amphiteatre forms a venue for outdoor performances like Belting on the BeltLine.
