Sporting Events are a cheap way to gather the family together

In any city or town around the world, I promise you there is some sporting event that you can take your family to. If you are tired of your own town's team, go to a new city and cheer for someone you don't know. You can even do it when you are vacation, my family did it and it was a lot of fun.

The best part about sporting events. They are usually kid friendly, they are a bunch of parents there, supporting their kids and will keep and eye out on yours. There is action going on and who doesn't like cheering for a team. Often people think that they would feel uncomfortable just showing up at some town's baseball game. I find that people are there with welcoming arms... if you chose to support their team.

Do something cultural

With the crummy weather that we are going through right now, you must be tired of being stuck in your house. Gather the family together and go do something cultural. The best things about things like museums and art galleries is that they are either ran by donations or with have cheap fees.

I loved it when my family lived in Manhattan, anytime we were in the need of family entertainment, it felt like there was an endless amount of culture to go to. Though, we usually at the Met. In any medium sized city, they have to have at least a few cultural destination and if they don't, make a trip to the closest big city to ya.
