More articles by Tomira RosserSummer Fun for Free!The summer is here and no doubt the kids are asking for a vacation. With the rising gas prices, ideas for vacation getaways may be hindered. We've had to postpone our Grand Canyon, Arizona trip until further notice. The costs of flying and driving are incredible! With this in mind, I thought of a great idea. Children love to go places, especially if its anywhere but home. Rarely does my son or daughter ask: "How much does this trip cost?" So here's an idea for all you parents out there. Free day trips and movie nights.
Zoos
With a pre-purchased Atlanta Zoo membership, families of four can go to the Zoo any day of the week, all day, FOR FREE! Although parents may grow tired from the same animals, children (especially young children) will never get bored. Take a camera and record the moments there with the family on film. This is a great choice for many families living in the Metro Atlanta area. Parents could even make it out to be an educational experience for their kids! Year passes cost $99.00.
Museums
Fernbank Museum of Natural History has free admission to members as well. You have the ability to step back into time and visit the dinosaurs. My children love this adventure, especially my son. Granted, during their school year, the school administration exhausted their free field trips to Fernbank for the children, but here point again: They never grew tired. Family Membership prices are $85 (regular family) and $150 (Family Advantage)
Fernbank's Science Center - Space Observation is free for all. Certain schedule apply. Visitors can look up into the heavens and view the stars and constellations.
Free Movie Rentals
The public library usually has movies for rent. Rent family and kid movie free from the library and buy a box of popcorn and have a free movie night. See there is much fun to be had during the summer. Don't let the rising gas prices get you down and put a hamper on your summer vacations. Act on these free ideas and the kids will have fun!
