Hello I am a stay at home mom with a almost 3 year old and a 6 year old! I was looking for free or low cost activities to do with my precious boys this summer?
There is a really fun drop in class on tuesday I believe at the new recreation center for the little guy. I am not sure what there is for the older one. If you go past the new rec center..which is located next to the end of celebration park in case you werent sure they have free catalogs with all sorts of programs that are either free of fairly inexpensive. If i hear of anything else I will let you know.
I know that the super mall theater and the south hill mall theaters have free summer movies for kids mostly G and some mild PG. My kids love them.
Check out the GO section (comes out every Friday) of the Tacoma News Tribune and Parent Map at www.parentmap.com There are lots of things posted online or in their publications which are free or are inexpensive.
Have a wonderful summer!
The parks department usually does lunches at the park, for free and they will sometimes have games with them. Last year it was just tuesdays and thursdays, at least for auburn. Next to the auburn library there is a splash park, no standing water just a bunch or nozzles etc.
If you're willing to come to the Kent area, their parks dept always has alot going on. They have a summer concert series w/ the Wednesday at Mill Creek Canyon Earthworks Park targeted towards kids. Lake Meridian has a cordoned-off area in the water for young kids as well as lots of playtoys. Check out the Kent Parks webpage for other ideas.
