NH & MA Local Events and Deals

Looking for something fun to do with the family? Check out your local Parks and Recreation website for free local events.

For southern NH (Nashua area) you might try: GoNashua.com

For Boston I found: Free Fun Fridays

Boston also offers inexpensive swan boat rides in Boston Common, and across the street at the Public Garden you can walk through Frog Pond (a wading pool) and ride on the carousel nearby.

Search for zoos in your local area - there are so many more near me than I thought until I started looking - and check their website for a coupon! Don't forget York's Animal Kingdom in York, Maine (see their website for $2 per admission ticket)
and
Southwick's Zoo in Acton, MA (look on their website to find a coupon or buy 1 get 1 free admission for residents of surround states on certain days).

Local playgrounds and parks are a great place for yours kids to burn energy this summer. Go to your town's Parks & Recreation website and look for a listing of parks, and do the same for surrounding towns. If you live in or around Nashua, click HERE. You could find a hidden jewel you never knew existed! (I did.) This is a treat for the kids and gives everyone a new place to play. We even found a playground near a pond where many ducks and geese hang out. My daughter thought it was GREAT! Playing in the backyard is ok, but discovering something new and helping your children enjoy the outdoors can create memories to come.
