My name is Kayla Storey and I am the Family Activities Coordinator at the Central City Family YMCA. I am a mom to two not so little boys aged 8 and 6, and a wife to Adam. Life with three boys sure keeps me busy, but we love spending our weekends out of the house after a school and work filled week. At some point during every week, I like to research what is unique to Tampa Bay for the upcoming weekend. Check your local YMCA for FREE Family Activities During the last few months of the year, there is SO much the Tampa Y has to offer for families. We have holiday parties, Cookies with Santa, crafts in our Stay and Play for children, science experiments in the Kid Zone and FREE Parents Night Out. Tampa Bay Weekend Planner Look up the Tampa Bay Times Weekend Planner to see what unique activities are going on. I’ve scored free local museum days, aquarium discounts, concerts, food festivals and all kinds of things that I wouldn’t have otherwise known about just by visiting the Tampa Bay Weekend Planner. Groupon! Do not underestimate a good deal. You can find highly discounted family activities on Groupon and Living Social apps and sometimes just spark a new adventure that you wouldn’t have thought of before. Pool Day! We love heading to the YMCA pool and having a quick lunch either before or after our swimming. Many of our YMCAs have splash pads too for the smallest ones in your family. Annual Passes! Here in Florida, we have access to some amazing deals and annual passes. ZooTampa offers a pay for a day and play all year deal while Busch Gardens does monthly payment plans starting as low as $12/month. Movies! Download the GQT app and earn points from buying movie tickets and get free popcorn and goodies with your points. Most importantly, just spend time with your children. They just want your attention. Have a movie night at home, make shadow puppets, or play a board game where the winner wins their choice of dinner. Just have fun! The best memories come from time spent, not money. TO OUR FALL BASKETBALL FAMILIES! As a thank you for a great season, the Orlando Magic would like to offer each of our players one free ticket and discounted tickets for family members for the 12/30/18 game.
