Skate, Spin and Save on Spring Break (and beyond!)

If you happen to be on Spring Break like we are here in Houston, and you have kids who just want to have fun, check out these two fun activities (a free one & a cheap one).

I took my kids and we had a BLAST!
Let’s go with the FREE idea first:

Discovery Green has a really cool, interactive display called “Los Trompos” (The Spinning Tops).   

  
 We were there for about an hour, running around the park, spinning on “Los Trompos” and doing it over & over again!

My son was cracking up because he thought we were spinning on Trump-os! (not sure what to do with that political statement! Haha!)

Going to Discovery Green park in downtown Houston is free, but you might have to pay for parking.

Discovery Green is free & fun all year, but Los Trompos are only there through March 22nd. Go during the next few days so you don’t miss it!

The CHEAP idea was a Family Roller Skate Night at Humble Family Skate Center

I have to give a shout out to my friend Stacey who said it was just $1 to go in and $2 for skate rental (you can bring your own skates & make it even cheaper!) 

Our family joined my friend Stacey’s family. All together, our kids were ages 6 to 17 and everyone loved it! Even my two kids, the younger ones at 6 and 10 years old, who are still learning to skate,  laughed and fell and picked themselves up and at the end of the night, asked if we could do it again next week.

Turns out we can, because it looks like they have regular Dollar Nights every week!

 

I hope you have a great Spring Break! Share your own ideas below! I’d love to hear them!
