Guides / Activities and summer
Free and low-cost family fun
Libraries, parks and free days are full of things to do.
Kids remember time together far more than how much it cost. Plenty of good weekends are free.
Ideas
- Library story times, events and museum passes (many libraries lend free passes)
- Museum free days and free admission for kids
- Parks, trails, splash pads and community pools
- Local festivals, parades and concerts
- Board game and movie nights at home
Make it a habit
Keep a family list of free things to do near you, and let kids add to it. When someone says "I'm bored", the list is ready.
