It’s a great chance for families to enjoy a meal out without spending too much. Kids get to eat for free\, and parents get a little break on the bill—always a win. \n\n\n\nWhat’s the Deal?\nFrom September 1 to 30\, kids aged 10 and under can eat free from the Boston Pizza kids’ menu when an adult entrée is purchased. There is a minimum spend of $16 per free kids’ meal\, so it’s worth keeping that in mind when ordering. The kids’ menu has the usual favorites—pizza\, pasta\, chicken fingers\, and more—so there’s a good chance even picky eaters will find something they like. \nWhy This Stands Out\n\nSaves Money – With back-to-school costs adding up\, this comes at the right time.\nKid-Friendly Options – The menu is simple\, familiar\, and built around what kids actually enjoy.\nEasy Night Out – It’s casual\, comfortable\, and takes the stress out of cooking at home.\n\nAbout the Kids Card\nThere’s also another promotion running at the same time: the Boston Pizza Kids Card. For a $5 donation to charity\, families can pick up a card that gives five free kids’ meals to use on future visits. Just to be clear\, this is a separate promotion from the September deal and can’t be combined—but it’s still a nice option if Boston Pizza is a regular stop. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Use the Deal\n\nStop by any participating Boston Pizza location in Winnipeg or elsewhere in Canada during September 2025.\nOrder an adult entrée worth at least $16\, and one kids’ meal is free for a child 10 or under.\nNo coupon or code is needed—just ask about the Kids Eat Free promotion when you’re there.\nIf it makes sense\, think about grabbing a Kids Card to stretch the savings even further.\n\nA Handy Back-to-School Break\nSeptember is always a busy month with school routines kicking in\, after-school activities starting up\, and the evenings getting shorter. Having a chance to take the family out for dinner without worrying too much about the cost feels like a little gift. It’s also an excuse to sit down together and enjoy some food everyone likes—whether it’s pizza\, pasta\, or a plate of wings. \n\n\n\n\nUpcoming Events\n \n \n \n \n \n \n 03\n May\n 2026\n \n \n \n \n Narcisse Snake Dens 2026See thousands of red-sided garter snakes gather at the Narcisse Snake Dens during Manitoba’s incredible spring mating season.
