Sign Up For the AMF Newsletter for a $20 Off Coupon!

Sign up to receive newsletters from AMF Bowling Centers and immediately receive a coupon for $20 a game of bowling for 4 people (coupon is good for bowling and shoe rental only for 1 week after print)! Typically games range from $3-4ish plus $4/person for shoe rental, depending on which day/night of the week you go, but I spoke with someone at the Brookgate Lanes location (on Snow Rd. in Brookpark) and learned about some discount nights where you could bowl FREE with this coupon!

Scenario #1: You can bowl for just $.99/person/game on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights from 9pm-Midnight. Shoes cost $4/person+tax. The tax would put you slightly over the $20 for 1 game, making for a very cheap night of bowling!

Scenario #2: You can bowl for just $1/person/game on Tuesday nights and also rent shoes for just $1/person from 9pm-Midnight, so 4 people could bowl 2 games, including shoe rental, for FREE!

She informed me that each manager can set their own discount nights, so make sure you contact the center closest to you for details before you go!! And enjoy!
