It’s so much fun having kids. It’s a great excuse to do the things you used to do as a kid all over again. But, as you know, it’s expensive enough taking care of their basic needs, and there isn’t always much money left over for entertainment. So, I’ve compiled a list of the top 10 free things to do with kids in any city:

1. Join a playgroup. Meetup.com, is one of many great sources you will find on the Internet to locate a free playgroup in your area. If there isn’t one listed near you, you can start one.
2. Watch airplanes take off. This isn’t very popular with babies, of course, but it’s great for your older kids. For a heart-pounding experience, see if you can find a place to lie down right under the path where the planes take off.
3. Volunteer at a nursing home. I made a bunch of chocolate chip cookies and took my kids to a local nursing home to hand them out. The elderly loved it and my kids learned a valuable lesson about giving and sharing. Note: Make sure that the home you take them to isn’t for patients with dementia. The occasional outbursts can frighten children.
4. Visit a local farmers’ market. Technically you can wander around and not spend money here, but you know you probably will. To make it a break-even “free” event, don’t purchase produce at your weekly trip to the super market and buy your produce at the farmers’ market instead. And there’s always some kid-friendly activities at your local farmers’ market, such as face painting, or the possibility of listening to local musicians.
5. Book a tour of a factory. Are there any large food or candy factories or newspaper printers near you? Most offer free tours, if you ask, and even give out free samples sometimes.
6. Camp out. Kids love camping out in the backyard. Set up a tent and sleeping bags and they’ll come up with their own fun.
7. Go for a hike. This activity is best with small babies or older kids. Preschool age kids may not be up for the challenge of hiking trails. But if your child is still a baby, purchase a baby backpack and you’re ready to go. Be sure to bring lots of water, sunscreen, and hats for you and baby.
8. Check out DVDs from the library. These are usually free but due back in a short amount of time or you get a hefty fine. There are selections for adults and kids as well as audio books for your long road trips.
9. Attend an outdoor concert. Check your local newspaper calendar of events each weekend to see who is playing and where. Sometimes you can spread out and set up a picnic on a blanket for your family.
10. Go for a ride. On a bus, ferry, trolley, or train young kids usually ride for free. It’s something different and fun for kids on the go.

Even what we consider mundane errands can be fun for little kids. They see the world in a fresh new way we have forgotten. Slow down a little, be ready to answer their myriad questions, and try to see things as they see them. It might just become a magical day for you, too.
