Free Fun Fridays In Massachusetts 2014

If you have children, finding stuff for them to do can be challenging, not to mention expensive. Summer tends to be the season that most people take their vacations from work, especially if you have young children who are home for the summer, Here is a list of options that can keep your kids entertained and your wallet full.

Free fun Fridays is a program for the summer throughout the state of Massachusetts. Each Friday through August 29th, different museums, parks and attractions will grant free access and admission as part of their involvement.

This Friday, July 18th,  you and the kids (or just you if you have no children) can take advantage of free access to:

• The Ocean Explorium, New Bedford, MA- All about Ocean Life with a very hands on exhibit.
• Museum of Fine Arts in Boston- If you love art and have never been to the MFA, now is a great time to do so.
• The Eric Carle Museum, Amherst, MA- Have you read the very Hungry Caterpillar? Well here is a museum dedicated to the guy who wrote it and many other kid's favorite books.
