Since we live in the Nashville area, one of our local Philanthropists comes out with a list at the beginning of every summer of FREE things to do in the area. It is so nice because there are so many things that you do not think about. We mainly have to do our fun stuff on the weekends, but it is so nice to have lots of different things to do! Below I am going to share with you all some of our favorite summer activities that are free or SUPER CHEAP! I realize that not every city will have all of these amenities but if you are local to Middle TN, be sure to check out some of these!
1. Have an ice cream party at home!
2. Outdoor concerts in parks that are usually FREE
3. Stop by a local park with food trucks and grab a late lunch
4. Visit local art museums. Our's has an entire section dedicated to kids and it's FREE
5. Set a fire in your backyard/fire pit and cook some smore's
6. Take a trip to your local splash pad our aquatic center. Our splash pad is FREE and our aquatic center is cheap to get into!
7. FREE MOVIES. Most theaters offer a summer special with free movies, or movies that only cost $1 to get into!
8. Take a trip to the library on a rainy day and let the kiddos pick out a few new movies to watch
9. Turn on the sprinkler at home and let the kids run through it!
10. Build a fort in the living room and watching movies all day! (When it's raining of course!)
11. Find some medium size rocks, paint them, and let your children hide them around town for others to find!
12. Visit the drive in for a family night out!
13. Pack dinner and take the kids to the playground one evening as a special treat!
14. If you have a zoo membership, taking them to the zoo to walk around every so often can be so fun and a great way to get outside!
15. Go on the hunt for a snow cone!
We are always down for a fun, inexpensive time! If you have any other ideas, I would LOVE to hear them!
Nice one! It is true that nobody needs to go expensive in order to have fun and enjoy. It can be done by saving money as well. Just like I have booked a party venue that is very much pocket friendly and can accommodate good number of people. It is my son’s birthday and I wanted him to feel special.
