Inexpensive Summer Fun

Summer is in full effect and we are having a great time.
I wanted to pass on a couple of fun activities that we have found. Perhaps your family would enjoy them too.

$1 Movies
Lansing Mall Cinema is having $1 movies at 10:30am every weekday throughout summer. Click on the link above to see what movies will be featured. For those not in the Lansing area, check the site to see if your local theater is participating.

Free Bowling
Sky Lanes Bowling of Lansing has one free game everyday of Summer, with the purchase of rental shoes. So for $2 a person you can enjoy a game of bowling.

Library Summer Reading and Activities
Capital Area District Library has tons of summer fun activities. Magicians, puppets, bugs, bats, theater and more. Something for every age. Check out this events page to see if there is anything in your neck of the woods. Or stop in at your CADL branch for a list of all activities at every location. While you are there sign up for the summer reading program. Fun incentives for youth, teens and adults.
