It'a Amusement Park Time......

Ahh Yes.....The Summer is upon us....especially here...for the past few days it's been well over 90 degrees!! So who does not like to have a few family fun days at the amusements parks with the family??? I know we go to at least 2 different parks a season....as Little Man just loves them!!! The day can get expensive rather quickly if you do not plan ahead...admission, parking, lunch, snacks, etc!! Here are a few things we have learned over the past two years about Amusement Park trips....

1. Always Pack a Lunch and Plenty of Snacks- Amusements parks are known for the fun times, the rides, and the entertainment..not the food!! It is over-priced and not very tasty....actually some of it we've tasted kind of reminds me of cafeteria food...LOL LOL We always stop at Wawa and pick up some Hoagies before hand...we also pack snacks, lots of water, juice boxes, and fruit in a cooler. Most parks even have picnic areas for you to sit and relax while eating.

2. Pack the Essentials- Make sure you have sunblock, water shoes, towels, cash, waterproof camera, sunglasses, and anything else you think you may need to keep you comfortable and safe from a day in the hot sun. At the park the mark up on these "need to have" items is a big hunk of cash...so plan ahead and save a few bucks!!!

3. Use A Coupon- Who says you can not have loads and loads of "Fun" at a discount??? Sure you can...and guess what at the discounted Price you will have just as much fun as the guy who paid full price..can't beat that!!! Here are a few great coupon offers for Amusement Parks near us.....
