Free Family Summer Fun!

Trying to find something fun & productive (don't forget inexpensive!) for the kids during the summer months are always a challenge for us. Each summer the kids want to do/go somewhere but we usually cannot afford the expensive camps and art classes, so we usually try to find parks & playgrounds to go to. Reader Jill sent us this idea which is perfect (and affordble,lol!):

When school's out, kids around the country can visit selected Regal theatres for the Free Family Film Festival. It's a fun-filled nine weeks of movies for kids and parents. Since 1991, Regal has provided this service to the community, and best of all it's FREE!
Selected G & PG movies start at 10AM each Tuesday and Wednesday during the festival. First-come, first-served seating is limited to theatre capacity. The Free Family Film Festival is safe, lots of fun and a great way for kids to spend a weekday morning in the summer.

You can see the Summer Schedule here.

The movies are pretty costly these days and are a RARE treat at my house. I really can't see spending $40 just for us to go out so this is a great deal that you can't beat!

Anyone else have any other Frugal fun Summer Ideas? We really do need some ideas!!
