Print book report from link above to get in for free
Even if you have a little kid, print and fill in the report. My local theater had prizes (posters,etc) and used the reports as entry forms.

AMC:
Summer Movie Camp has been dropped- I am surprised since all the ones I have been to at Regal and National were mobbed... From their website:
"Thank you for your interest in our AMC Summer MovieCamp program in recent years. Unfortunately, the number of guests has been fewer in recent years, with many shows operating with less than 25 guests in the auditorium. Last year, attendance dropped so significantly that we have made the difficult decision to discontinue the program. While we don't have Summer MovieCamp any longer, here's a list of summer films <see link below> that your family might enjoy and if you come before noon, shows will have value pricing (excluding holiday periods)."

I know I am probably missing other chains that are not local to me, please update with your finds!

Bowling

AMF Free Bowling:
Starts May 30th
http://freebowling.amf.com/
This summer, your kids can bowl for free at your local AMF Bowling Center. Sounds too good to be true, right? It’s not! All you have to do is register your children, and you’ll get weekly coupons via email for two free games per child per day all summer long. Children love bowling; it’s fun, active, social and local and – best of all – it’s FREE! That’s how AMF does summer!
and for the adults:
Think the children have all the fun? Not so. For just $27.95, adults with children registered for free bowling can purchase an AMF Summer 17 Plus Pass good for two free games per day for up to four people ages 17 and older.

Kids Bowl Free (New England families- looks like there are a lot of candlepin bowling locations on this! ):
http://www.kidsbowlfree.com/
Start date varies by location
Children whose age does not exceed a limit by a participating bowling center are eligible to register for 2 free games a day, all summer long, courtesy of the participating bowling centers along with the schools and organizations.
and for the adults
The Family Pass was created to allow for adult family members to enjoy bowling throughout the summer as well. The Family Pass starts from $24.95 and includes 2 GAMES PER PERSON PER DAY. The Family Pass covers up to 4 adult family members. You may have 1, 2, 3, or 4 adults on the family pass. The price of the pass covers all 4 members.

I can't say for sure if it's different this year or not...but I looked into the AMF deal last year and while the BOWLING is free, the shoes are not. You still have to rent, adults and kids. So if you don't have your own shoes, just be aware of that!
