But having fun as a family is just as important as household chores and shopping - even more so, in fact. There are dozens of ways for families to enjoy a day, or even a half-day, in each other's company. Amusement parks, zoos and aquariums are attractions that appeal to all ages. Outdoor activities that make for fun family times without breaking your budget include sledding, cross-country skiing, biking, hiking, canoeing, tennis, kite flying and miniature golf, to name but a few. Children never tire of a trip to the playground, duck pond or the local fire station.
Farms offer seasonal fun with baby animals, hayrides and fruit picking.
Try spending rainy or cold-weather days at an indoor playspace or bookstore or library storytelling event. During the summer months, investigate children's enrichment programs and overnight or day camps, which range from a traditional camp experience to special interest, clinic and trip camps. Even if family free time is limited, there's no limit on what fun you can have together. 2000 Families Plus The information contained in this publication is being provided with the understanding that Families Plus, LLC is not engaged in rendering legal, medical or other professional service.
