What do you do if you want to have a fun summer but you don’t want to spend a lot of money? You think up free ways to have a good time and keep yourself and your family entertained! Which is actually not such a difficult thing to pull off- there are plenty of free things you can do this summer that are fun, exciting, and interesting. Here’s a list of some free things to do in the summer:

  1. Take a city tour. There are often formal tours that you can join, but why not shake things up and do it yourself? Get a city map and choose destinations along the way. Make it fun and give your walk a theme.
  2. Check your community calendar. You’re sure to find free events, like concerts, movie screenings, book readings, and more.
  3. Have a picnic. Yes, an old-fashioned picnic! Pack up a blanket, drinks, and sandwiches. Or go upscale with salads, dips, baguettes, and wine.
  4. Go biking. Biking is fun and it’s also a free way to get in some exercise.
  5. Take a hike. Spend some time in nature, and don’t forget the insect repellent.
  6. Free museum days. Many museums have a day of the week, or some hours when admission is free. This is a great activity for a day when it’s too hot to be outside.
  7. Library activities. Most libraries have free story hours, concerts, lectures, or other free activities for kids and adults.
  8. Throw a potluck party. Socialize without being responsible for the total cost of hosting.
  9. Movie night at home. Invite friends over, or just snuggle up with the family and some popcorn.
  10. Game night. Take out those old board games, unplug, and have some fun!
  11. Water balloon fight. So much fun and great for cooling off on a hot day!
  12. Swim at a public pool. Check for locations in your city.
  13. Free kids’ workshops. Home Depot and Lowe’s host them every few weeks.
  14. Free bowling. Get passes for free summer bowling.
  15. Make your own bubbles. Blowing bubbles is a classic summer activity. Make it more fun and make your own bubble solution and wand! Watch this video for instructions.

You don’t have to spend a lot or go far to have a good time. You can actually have fun for free, sometimes as close as your own backyard!
