With better weather and Spring Break on the horizon for most of us, it’s time to get out of the house and find some fun, free stuff to do!
San Diego is full of fun outdoor adventures. If you are looking for places to take your kids for some hikes or walks, Hidden San Diego has a list of 40 kid-friendly hikes here. Hidden San Diego also has some amazing information about San Diego’s history, locations to explore, and even some creepy lore surrounding America’s Finest City.
If you’ve read my blog for a while, you know about the JCPenney Kids Zone free crafts that occur every second Saturday of the month in selected JCPenney stores.
You probably also know about the Home Depot Kids Workshop, which takes place every second Saturday of the month. However, some stores do one every single week; you just need to check your local Home Depot store to find out.
Did you also know that Lowe’s Hardware store does a similar activity on the third Saturday of each month?
Lakeshore, the educational store, holds free kids events, including storytime with Pete the cat and sensory events.
If you are in the eastern part of San Diego County, the Water Conservation Garden at Cuyamaca College offers free admission on Fridays from 9am-4pm.
While not always free, Michaels offers in-store classes for both Kids and adults. Sometimes, the classes are free, and sometimes there is a class fee (usually $15 or less). Classes run for about an hour, and you need to take something really cool home with you.
The San Diego Craft Collective at Liberty Station has a free class on the first Friday of each month from 5 to 6 PM.
Don’t forget their resident free days at Balboa Park every single Tuesday.
If you’re looking for more fun, free events, check your local shopping center or mall. Parkway Plaza in El Cajon has a free kids event every month. It usually involves a craft and some sort of fun games where you can win prizes.
Groupon always has discounted admissions to local attractions like Legoland, Birch Aquarium, and indoor trampoline/play places.
When I find more, I will definitely post more.
