I have four kids, so doing fun things can get really expensive. Here are some of our favorite free (or super cheap) things to do in the summer.
$1 movies - Regal or Cinemark (or Carmike but this costs $4 and includes popcorn and a drink)
G and PG rated movies that are not new releases are shown on weekday mornings.
We have found that sometimes restaurants next to the theater will offer lunch specials on those days.
Free bowling - AMF or various others
Kids can bowl two free games every day. The cost of shoe rental is not included and can vary from place to place, so call ahead to find the cheapest one near you.
Free skating - various
Unfortunately there is not one near me - but maybe you will be lucky!
Free museums
There are a lot of these near me and we frequent them year round.
Also, if you are a customer of Bank of America or Merrill Lynch you can participate in Museums on Us.
Of course don't forget parks - local, state, and national. These can provide everything from swimming, hiking, and camping to educational and historical field trips for little to no cash.
Enjoy your summer!
