Council Bluffs family nights under $15, at Bowlero and Quaker Steak

Council Bluffs now has a cluster of own-page family deals that stay under $15 a person if you pick the right night: weekend unlimited bowling at Bowlero, weekday games there, and 99-cent kids’ meals at Quaker Steak & Lube, including a dated Dinner with Santa in December.

Bowlero, at 1900 Madison Avenue, posts Family Unlimited on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.: $12.99 a person, unlimited bowling, shoes included, walk-in only. Monday through Thursday, walk-in games are $4.99 all day, with shoes $5.99. The specials and pricing pages also list an $18.99 After Party for unlimited bowling Friday and Saturday from 8 p.m., shoes not included, which is a different, later crowd.

Quaker Steak & Lube, at 3320 Mid America Drive, runs Kids’ Night on Mondays from 4 to 9 p.m., with Lube Cruiser meals at 99 cents when an adult entree is purchased. The brand page does not say how many kids’ meals come with each adult plate, so ask. The same shop has a location-specific Dinner with Santa on Monday, Dec. 21, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.: kids 10 and under eat for 99 cents with an adult entree, plus a Santa photo station and crafts. Use the Council Bluffs phone, 712-322-0101, not the Ohio-area number on some national posters.

Two holiday gift-card bonuses also point at these shops, with limits worth reading. Quaker Steak’s brand page adds a $10 bonus card and a reusable 20% off coupon with every $50, through Dec. 31 or while supplies last, but it says participating locations; call the Council Bluffs restaurant to confirm before you buy. Lucky Strike Entertainment adds $15 on $75 or $25 on $100 through Dec. 27, and says the cards redeem at any Bowlero, including Council Bluffs, and are valid through that date.

These are merchant-published specials, not coupons we issue, and there is no checkout here. Terms were checked Nov. 14, 2026, on each official page.
