Inexpensive Family Friendly Summer Fun in the Tri Cities Washington
Well, summer is here at last, days are warming up, kids are out of school and fun summer activities are popping out everywhere in the Tri Cities, Washington area. As I was looking around for things to do this summer that were relatively inexpensive to do with the kids I came across a bunch of activities! Something fun for the whole family are the free or $1 movies at the local movie theaters. There are also summer bowling passes at the local bowling alley, reading programs for kids, discounts at a variety of places, and summer workshops just to name a few. For a complete list of all the places I found see below! Hope you have enjoyable summer with your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or those special kids in your life!
Kids Bowl Free Summer Pass
Go Bowl Lanes in Pasco and Atomic Bowl in Richland both are participating in the Kids Bowl Free Summer event. The Kids Bowl Free Pass starts at $24.95 and covers up to 4 adults and 6 children, it includes 2 games a day throughout summer. Standard Shoe rates apply for both Go Bowl Lanes and Atomic Bowl. Go Bowl Lanes is open Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday from 12:00pm to 9:00pm and Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 3:00pm to 9:00pm. Atomic Bowl is open 7 days a week 10:00am to Midnight.
Lowes and Home Depot Kids Workshops
Both the Lowes and Home Depot are offering Kid’s Workshops this summer to teach kids how to build woodwork. The Lowes workshop will be held on Saturdays at 10:00am. Register for the workshops online, the first two that are online are June 26 (building a monster truck) and July 10 (building a ball and cup game). The first 50 kids to register will get the kit to build what they registered for, an apron, and goggles. The Home Depot workshop will be the first Saturday of each month from 9:00am until 12:00pm at all stores. July 3 kids will get to build a periscope and then on August 7 kids will get to build a school bus pencil organizer.
Summer Reading Programs
The Mid-Columbia Libraries and Barnes & Noble are all having summer reading programs for kids to keep them reading through summer. The Mid-Columbia Libraries’ summer reading program gives prizes and coupons to local restaurants or businesses to any child who reads for 15 hours; visit any Mid-Columbia Library or go online to register your child for the reading program. The Barnes & Noble’s Summer Reading Passport allows a child to pick a book off of a grade level list once the child has read 8 books and filled out their passport, which can be downloaded online.
