Just wanted to post some free/cheap things going on this weekend (July 10-12) in WNY if you have kids and want to take advantage of them. Let me know if you know of anything else to do that is free or cheap and I can post it- or better yet- post it in the comments. I’d love to hear what others do on the weekends with little ones.
Friday-
Gusto at the Gallery- Family Night at the Albright Knox, parking $3 in the gallery parking lot (get there early!), free admission 3-10pm. Note: The gallery is not very stroller friendly. Carry or wear babies for the least frustrating time! We LOVE these events and the Albright Knox and Lucy always has a great time. Unfortunately we will miss this one as we are celebrating Zoey and Stella’s 1st birthday with the Dettbarn family! Stay tuned for a post on some of the handmade things I made for this huge occasion….
Saturday/Sunday-
Family Saturdays at Artpark- In addition to getting to look at some cool geology in the gorge area (hehe), this is a free family event at Artpark that includes hands on art exploration from 12-4pm. We’ve never been, but we might make it out there this weekend!
Sanborn Days- A nice free family festival on Saturday (10-5) and Sunday (11-5) up in Niagara County. Seems like there will be typical fair kinds of things, like food, animals (the big draw for us) and crafters. Admission and parking is free.
Check out other free things to do in the area in the digital copy of WNY Family Magazine (under calendar tab). There is always the farmers markets and garage sales (great way to teach money/math, where food comes from, colors, patterns, etc.) too!
