| Jump Around is a great place to get some energy out! |
It's another cold week ahead of us, so here are ten (inside!) things for you to do this week. I tried to find some good deals or otherwise inexpensive things to do. Some of the indoor activities are so expensive - one thing I found was an indoor play area for $15! That's more expensive than the Children's Museum!
So, here are some cheaper options to keep you warm while getting out of the house.
1. Grab a Groupon for Jump Around in Framingham. Seriously. Do it. I bought one and we went on Friday when the temperature was only about 12 degrees. Isaac really needed to get some energy out and this helped!
2. Or buy a Groupon for Kids Fun Stop in West Roxbury. The deal is $30 for five drop-in play visits, so it's half off. Best for kids 6 and under.
3. Visit the Harvard Museum of Natural History. Their regular rates are quite affordable, but they also offer times to go for free for Massachusetts residents. If you get there Sunday morning from 9:00 am to noon or on Wednesday from 3:00 to 5:00 pm, you will get in free. (Side note: Free Sunday mornings happen year-round, but free Wednesday mornings are only from September until May)
4. Spend Friday evening at the Boston Children's Museum. Courtesy of Target, it's only $1 from 5-9 pm.
5. Visit the Boston Fire Museum on Saturday morning. It's only open on Saturdays, but there's no admission - just bring a donation. It's not a big museum, but it's fun, especially if you have a kid who likes fire trucks!
6. Stop at Kelly's Roast Beef for Kids' Night. It's every Monday in Saugus from 5-8 pm, every Tuesday in Danvers and Medford from 5-8 pm, and every Wednesday in Natick from 5-8 pm! There's storytelling, face painting, balloons, arts and crafts projects, and ice cream! It's free to enjoy the activities, but the food is not free of charge.
7. Skip cooking one night and go to one of the Boston-area kids eat free nights.
8. Go to a Tuesday morning story time at Pottery Barn Kids. It's going to be in the teens tomorrow (ugh) so head to an indoor mall with a PB Kids and maybe grab lunch and hit up the play area to kill some time.
9. Meet Dora the Explorer tomorrow at the Patriot's Place story time inside Showcase Cinema De Lux. (Showcase Cinema De Lux has these story times every Tuesday with a different character appearance!)
10. Paint something at Plaster Fun Time. You can keep this low cost by picking out lower-priced items. They have magnets for under $4 and regular pieces start at about $9. If you join their email list, you'll get coupons sent to you. They have 9 locations.
