The Summer started, and we want to make the most of this wonderful season and create beautiful memories with our kids. We want to enjoy the outdoors and have fun together but do not want to spend lots of money. Aware of this, we have researched different activities you can do with your children without breaking the piggy bank.
Visit our National Parks- We have beautiful National Parks here in Fl, and most of them only ask for an affordable parking fee.
Go biking- We have many beautiful bike trails here in Fl, where you can enjoy nature and have a great adventure together. A great example is Seminole County’s award-winning recreational trail system, with more than 60 miles of paved and natural trails.
Enjoy a beach day- We have so many beautiful beaches here in Fl that you can plan a new beach adventure every weekend.
Splash Pads- You can cool off at one of Fl's many cool splash pads. Your children will love to play and have fun in the water.
Free outdoor movies- Some parks and places offer free outdoor movies during the Summer. You can also watch movies at Epic Theatres for one dollar. See the calendar at: https://www.epictheatres.com/kids-summer-show-series.
