If you live in the Atlanta area you may have heard of Field Trips with Sue from her website, Facebook page, or appearances on the local news. Without a doubt, Sue knows Atlanta! She has learned the ins and out of the getting around the Atlanta area for incredibly cheap to even free. Recently Sue turned her knowledge in to a very resourceful book, 100+ Free and Cheap Things to do in Atlanta with Kids, which is appropriately priced very affordably ($4.99 for the e-version or $9.99 for the print version). The book is available at www.fieldtripswithsue.com/100free in e-book format for the iPad, iPhone, Kindle and Nook. You’ll pay for it with your first outing! So pack a picnic lunch and head out for a frugal afternoon of fun. Here’s a taste of what you’ll find:
Visit a Museum or Attraction – Several Atlanta area attractions including the Georgia Aquarium, Imagine It! The Children’s Museum of Atlanta and The Atlanta Braves offer opportunities to visit for free. For instance, all Georgia Public Libraries have a Family Pass to Zoo Atlanta that can be checked out with a library card. I was very excited to learn that the Georgia Aquarium offers free admission on your birthday.
See a Movie – Southern Outdoor Cinemas host free movies at parks, and shopping centers all summer long. For indoor movies, Regal Cinemas hosts the Regal Summer Movie Express. The theater shows G and PG rated films at 10 am on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and admission is only $1. Plus a portion of the proceeds benefits the Will Rogers Institute.
Get Back to Nature – For low cost and big fun, check out Georgia State Parks or any of the National Parks. There are also several nature preserves around Atlanta that offer free admission including Dauset Trail. Dauset Trail is a 1200 acre preserve with trails, creeks, wildlife and an extensive calendar of events throughout the year.
