The weather was suppose to be beautiful and we all had Spring Fever. I wanted to spend the day doing something extra fun for Payton, Matt and I both had the day off. I thought of going on a picnic but I really wanted to go somewhere with something enjoyable for Payton to do. Matt had a friend at work to tell him about Dan Nicholas Park. We had never heard of it even though its only an hour or so away. After visiting their website, our plans were made. The prices were great and I knew we would have a wonderful time.
We had a picnic when we arrived and then we set out to enjoy the park. I was very impressed with the beauty of the park. Everything was so neat and clean. The park was very well maintained. We spent the day riding the carousel, riding the train, visiting the petting zoo and feeding the animals, visiting the wildlife animals, playing at the playgrounds, walking through the water misters to cool off and riding the paddleboats (which was my favorite).
We spent a total of $17 for the whole day (does not include gas for travel). The total for riding and visiting all of the exhibits was $13 and we spent $4 in drinks.
The $17 was well worth it. It is definitely a place we plan to visit again.
What thrifty activities or local attractions do you and your family like to do in the summertime??
