Parents dread the end of August. It’s that terrible time between the end of camp and the first day of school. When
your kids’ level of boredom reaches a crescendo pitch in these next two weeks, tempt them with some unexpected end-
of-the-season family fun.
They’ll be awed by the cool special effects at New Roc’s indoor glow-putts mini golf course, Krazy City’s indoor
rollercoaster, or the novelty of ice skating on a 90-degree day.
Save a day for outdoor adventures, too, like floating down a lazy river in a tube, canoeing on a lake, or just
taking a spin on the old bike.
Putter around
Play a game that doesn’t involve a mouse or a video screen — and that’s fun for the whole family.
