Dallas Fair Park Ferris Wheel
Single mom equals single budget, right? Entertaining kids on a budget, especially these days, can be a serious challenge. However, low cost and even free family enterainment is out there if you know just where to look.
Around Town
The Desoto Public Library offers free movie downloads with library membership. Its pretty simple just download the "download manager", pop the popcorn and sit back and enjoy a great list of movies. If you are just looking for a reason to get out of the house, again a quick trip to the Desoto, Lancaster, or even Cedar Hill community libraries offer a wide range of family entertaining videos available for check out. Plus while you're there you can peruse the shelves for the latest bestseller in print or audio version.
Down the Road
Kids getting a bad case of cabin fever? Head outdoors! Take a stroll around Sunny South Dallas's Fair Park. During the off season, the park is still open and the spacious and well manicured walkways are a great place for the kids to swivel their heelies and for mom to get a great walk around the park. For a few dollars extra mom and the kiddos can enjoy the history and culture of the African American Museum as well as the Women's Museum. Each location is not only aesthetically pleasing to the eye but creates a lasting learning moment for the whole family.
