Yes, we all love our A/C. However, sitting indoors all summer can get monotonous and very boring. The sun is out and the heat is made for fun. The great outdoors awaits us this summer and it only lasts until September! Can’t seem to picture yourself out and about? Consider this list of 6 outdoor activities to try this summer.
See Outdoor or Drive-In Movies
Big and little cities are making a huge move towards outdoor movie watching. From quaint rooftops, lush green parks, and even cemeteries, Movies In The Park is the place to be each summer. Live in a smaller town? Check local listings for drive-in movie theatre locations!
Visit the Zoo or Themed Parks
The summer is a great time to do things you normally wouldn’t do, like going to see tigers randomly at your local Zoo or trying that ride at Six Flags you’ve been scared to step foot on since you were a kid.
Visit Local Waterparks
Every town has a nearby waterpark. Take that road trip to soak up some sun and lay in the lazy river. Perfect for families or an afternoon date!
Attend Summer Concerts, Festivals, And Fairs
Even music artists and brands feel the momentum of summer. Countless concerts and festivals are going on city-by-city and even small local fairs!
Take a Trip to a Beach
The beach is always a day full of fun. From the food vendors, games and people, to the sand stuck in your shoe. At the beach, there’s never a dull moment.
Go Camping or Glamping!
You won’t necessarily encounter bears and wolves, but you will have to embrace nature! If you want the posher experience of camping, try glamping. Think boho teepee tents, lush rugs, padded cots, plush blankets, and lit candles. Dreamy!
