Family Fun Day
Summer comes and goes quickly. Before we know it,
the kids are back in school. But there's still time for
family fun. One way to make a day stand out is to
plan a surprise family fun day. Pick a theme and plan
activities around the theme based on the ages of your
children and your budget. Here are some ideas:

BETH BELL OF MACARONI KID ROANOKE, a
free online resource for families, helps coordinate
family fun in the area. Her advice? "Definitely
unplug- put the phone away, be present, bring
board games (if camping/picnicking), tell family
stories, journal conversations and make memories."
TheRoanoker.com
A DAY AT THE
MUSEUM
Visit Center in the
Square:the aquarium in
the lobby, the History
Museum of Western
Virginia, the Harrison
Museum of African
American Culture,
the Pinball Museum
and Science Museum
of Western Virginia
along with a visit to
the Butterfly garden.
Be sure to check
out the Toy Joy and
Wonderlab galleries at
the Science Museum.
The Bubble Room
is a multi-sensory
experience for families
with children under
five. Virginia Museum
of Transportation is a
must for train-lovers!
Watch "A Night at the
Museum" to end the
day.
