Amusing children over the summer or nay school holiday is always an up hill struggle with parents and guardians alike. There are several ways to keep them amused without forking out a lot of money on your trip.

Taking a short trip in your home town is sometimes more relaxing than spending a week in another city trying to cram as much sight seeing into your time there as you can. Often leaving the grown ups tired and skint.

Try and visit a few museums in your area. This would be idea as a day trip and they are vastly improved from when you were a small child. Not only are they opened during the day time they also may have some interesting exhibits on show.

Set a side a 2 week period during the summer months and get the children involved in exploring the city. They may even come up with ideas which you did not think about.

The bigger well known museums are great for planning trips in as they more often than not offer the patrons free parking into their place as way of attracting more visitors. They often have no entrance fees which saves you money as opposed to the smaller and less known establishments which due to funding will often charge for parking and entrance into the venue.

When arranging museum visits think about how the children will be entertained while you are there. Sometimes during the school holidays there are programmes running on a daily basis which will keep them amused while enjoying the museum at the same time.

Before you travel always check the times of opening for the museum you are heading too as this will prevent any disappointment upon arrival. There are also swimming pools and parks which offer summer programmes perhaps also music lessons in your area.

A good saving tip is to pack something to eat for everyone. You can then stop off at a nearby sight seeing spot and enjoy your lunch. A good also is too pack some treats for everyone for later such as a hot chocolate or chips.
