With summer quickly approaching, I'm putting together a quick list of inexpensive outings - we have family visiting this summer. If you have some other ideas, leave them in the comments below.

The Splash Pad - free

Bowling - on post has the best rates for kids, sometimes $5 specials include lunch.

Summer movies - $1-2 at the Omni, includes small drink and popcorn, different movie each day.

The storytime at both Barnes & Noble and the Fayetteville Public Libraries - often crafts are paired with books.

Roller skating

mini-golf early the morning or in the evening

The kids museum downtown

Monkey Joe's on a rainy day

The movie theater at Pope field
