Hi all I need some help. My husband go laid off from his job and we already had a weekend trip planned for the middle of June, got hotel from priceline so its already pd for and no canceling. We had planned on going to the zoo which I think is free, any other budget friendly things to do for a family of 5?
It cost money but if you have the extra cash the Mueseum of crime and Punishment is SOOO worth it! Other fun things, The smithsonians. OH and go visit a fire station Cleveland park or Midnight Express are very cool. Oh and police officers will give you patches (like on the uniforms) for free if you ask nice (and tell um how cool there patches are). I got 3 patches last trip (metro police, regular police and hotel security) and all for free
We get a fall break and a spring break but our kids go back to the first of August not the first of Sept.
Not sure what other counties do in the state but that is how we do it. Don't know how or who sets your school calendar in NY state but I think all counties in the south set their own school calendar the state has nothing to do with it.

Some school stills take a traditional 2 week break at Easter, but then they don't have the week off in February. We went to WDW last year in October and wondered why all the kids were there. Some were from England which has a 2 week break in October, but didn't realize that schools in the US had a week off then, too.

Thank you. I thought I remembered right. Though the zoo is free, it tends to cost in souviners if your kids are into that. I do remember they had little plastic (very nice quality) animals for under $3. I bought a ton of these when I was there for my classroom. Big hit, cheap souvineer. just make sure you do the zoo on a cooler day. We went when it was 89 and it was umm BAD, its all uphill (or so it seems) and well heat+ kids= crabby (at least here). Oh the best part? they have places that spray water if you want to get wet.
