Here are a list of fun indoor and outdoor events to do with
your kids during the month of June.
Levy Park- Outside
Fun
Wait for the sun to go down a little and head over to Levy
Park for Public Piano Play. Hear some free music or tickle the ivory on your
own. Makes a great photo op if you’re looking for a fun photo for your
family. On June 23rd, the Houston Museum of Natural Science will host a
Science of the Oceans experience for free from 2 – 4 pm—slightly cooler temps
and a great experience for the afternoon!

La Centerra Park
I love Movies in the Park and I have yet to see the Greatest
Showman. If you’re interested in either of these then head over to La Centerra
Park in Katy and bring snacks, blanket, and a chair to watch the greatest show
ever! The show starts at 7 pm and will be in the courtyard in front of Las
Alamedas

Love painting with a
twist- here’s a twist invite your kids and bring snacks! The kid related events
are sans alcohol but they have very basic and fun prints for you and your kids
to make for a deeply discounted price. Here’s the link for Katy, but you can
find the events all over the city.
Michaels has a great summer camp alternative,
where you can create arts and crafts for a super low price! Each week has a
special theme so find the Michaels nearest you!
The Disney Store and
Bass Pro had indoor events all last summer, but as of today (5/27/2018) they
have not posted any details are dates. Follow me on Instagram (@urbankidinthecity)
and Ill post as soon as I find out.
Last but not least,
Home Depot’s monthly Kids DIY is going on this Saturday June 2nd.
Try to come early—they ran out of pieces last Saturday. Luckily I was able to ….ahem….help
her find a new craft for my son to work on…by help I mean strongly persuade her
to find an extra craft from a previous month. What can I say? We love Home
Depot!
Summer Pro Tips:
Try a splash pad for
free summer fun!
Try some old fashioned fun at the park and fly a kite, ride a bike, or find a bucket of bubbles and let your kids loose!
Older kids? Create a
family summer hashtag and have them take pictures of all of the events that
they are doing with you and their friends. This will help them see all the fund
they have when schools back in--- and it will help you stalk… I mean like all
of their social media posts J
