Summer has just started and I bet the kids are itching to do something, and so are you! Here are some activities that you can do for free with the kiddos this summer to keep them entertained and have fun!

Free Summer Roller Skating: Head over HERE and click on your state on the map to find a participating location near you.  Not all states offer this free program.

Select the location near you and click on the green “Register for This Skating Center” banner.  You will receive an email asking you to verify your email address. Your first set of passes will then be ready on Sunday of that week (read your passes carefully as most passes are only accepted at specific days/times and will vary based on the skating rink).  You do have to pay taxes as well as the skate rental fee, which will vary by location.

Head over to see if there’s a rink near you!
