Wisconsin Dells: Fun Ways to Enjoy Summer

Summer is almost here and the whole family’s excited at all the possibilities of summer activities. Although going to some wonderful vacation spots such as Wisconsin Dells could be very much tempting, there are more summer activities you could do. Even if you’re on a budget, you don’t have to scrimp on all the fun, here are several ways to have fun this summer without breaking the bank, and you can even earn some too:

1. Make your own “drive-in” theater. In case the night is breezy and very clear, arrange a screen including a projector outside the house and present your movie outdoors. Choose a movie that’s warm and friendly for neighbors and children to view too to prevent any concerns. The entire neighborhood will be joining in, before you know it. If you don’t have a screen, use a white sheet or possibly a blank wall, nearly anything works. Now pass the popcorn around.

2. Wash the car. Any excuse to go outside the house and squirt each other using the hose will work for me. Furthermore, it makes the task exciting.

3. Go to the dollar store and look for all the inexpensive items you can buy. Purchase some chalk for the sidewalk and play hopscotch or simply just sketch your heart out. You never know what you can find there?

4. Have a picnic. Summer is the perfect weather to have lunch or early dinner outdoors. Bring your favorite snacks, a blanket, some ice cold drinks, some music and you’re set. Even if it’s just in the front yard, it’s still an awesome experience.

5. Run through the sprinklers. Put your bathing suits on and just act like you’re twelve again.

6. If you really want to go somewhere far for the summer, there are a lot of cheap travel packages offered by of travel agencies. Or you could pick some vacation spot like Wisconsin Dells which offers a lot of great summer packages that fit your budget.


7. Hit the library. Many libraries subscribe to a lot of magazines and you can just read your fill and enjoy the air-conditioning for free.

8. Make a lemonade stand. This good old trick is great for earning a little cash and spending the day outside. No kids in the neighborhood? You can spike your lemonade and make it great for adults to enjoy.

9. Have a cookout! What better weather to fire up the grill, cook a few burgers and dogs and wash it all down with a beer? I’d have a cookout everyday if I could!


10. Hang out on the mall. Whether or not it gets too hot, enjoy the free AC, grab a smoothie and simply relax.

Having fun with summer doesn’t have to be expensive. These tips are evidence of that.
