“Where do kids eat free?” is one of the most frequently asked here at Active Parents, so we keep our list of places where kids can eat free updated! Turns out there are quite a few restaurants in the area that cater to the kiddies while taking it easy on the parent’s pocketbook.
This list is up to date as of March 2025, but as always, you might want to call the restaurant to confirm that they’re still offering a Kids Deal on your preferred night. And if you know of any restaurants that offer free kids meals (or kids specials) please let us know!
