7 Ways to Keep Cool With Kids This Summer
Looking for some low-cost, fun activities for the kids? These might be just what you need!
When the sun is high in the sky, you need entertainment that keeps you cool and comfy. Mom might be content to sip iced coffee and read a book on the couch, but the kids always want to go somewhere and do something. Read on for a few ideas that will help you keep your cool and save a few bucks this summer.
Summer movie series
Regal Cinemas, AMC theaters, and many local chains offer summer movie series that allow you to beat the heat and enjoy some family-friendly entertainment on the cheap.
These series are usually offered for less than half the cost of a regularly priced ticket, sometimes even as low as $1 per ticket. The movies are typically G, PG, or PG-13 rated, which means they’re perfect for the whole family, from tiny tots to teens and adults.
As a bonus, because these are geared towards families, they’re perfect as an introduction for your littlest family members to see if they’re ready for the theater yet. If they talk, scream, cry, or otherwise disrupt the movie, most of the other moviegoers will understand because they’re parents too.
