20+ Restaurants Where Kids Eat FREE (or Nearly Free) all Week in Kalamazoo

Kids Eat Free Kalamazoo

Let Someone Else Cook Tonight (and the Kids Eat Free!)

It’s Tuesday night.

As you pick up one child from school and hurry the second one off to gymnastics, you realize that you forgot something important: dinner.

Your fridge at home contains two apples, half a gallon of milk, and enough leftovers for maybe one person.

No matter how you do the culinary calculations, none of these add up to a family dinner.

As your little one twists and tumbles, you brainstorm food options: grocery store and then cook dinner? Takes too long and requires bringing two tired kids.

Order pizza? A viable option, but this assumes everyone wants pizza.  Sit down restaurant? Big on variety but could also be big on cost.

What if you had a list of kids eat free restaurants with free (or cheap) kids’ meals and deals to make this process easier?
