I’m hanging out with 5 kids tomorrow ranging in age from 4 to 8 years. I wanted to take them to the Children’s Museum but HOLY Admission cost!
I looked at other museums that kids might like and again the admission prices are just too much for me with 5 kids and 4 adults….it’ll be like $80 just for admission to museums. And I wanted to take them out for pizza and some ice cream after (okay, the ice cream is really for me).
Anything I can do with kids that won’t cost much? Indoors preferred as it’s gonna be cold tomorrow.

What if you went halves with someone? You’re not going to be using the place all of the time and between just two of you it’s going to be pretty affordable. Throw in Kens’ idea about registering cars down there and it pays for itself, no?
I’d definitely throw in $10-20k for a share in a place. Who’s in?
Florida is a state for newly wed or the nearly dead. No one in between.

I have an Internet friend, someone who posts a lot on this discussion board I read, who lives in Tampa. It seems pretty nice there from how he tells it. It’s not the urban, cultural center NYC is, but there are a lot of people I’ve met over the years who have no interest in being close to any hip or vibrant center of anything. They want an affordable place, with safety and blandness for their kids, so NYC in turn is their idea of the last place to go live.
Sorry – I know it’s not indoors but you can work out a nice glow from skating!
ET, do the kids have skates? If so, Woolman Rink in Prospect Park is cheap entertainment.
HELP NEEDED from parents with tots.

In trying to save $, I bought an olive oil that’s $6 less a tin than the one I normally get at $28.99.
I regret it!
insurance, common fees and taxes are MUCH cheaper than in NY.
“A staggering amount of excess inventory means the housing crash in NYC is alive and well, Alpert says.”
Condos. No inventory of single family homes was built to speak of in NYC.
