When you have kids, you know all too well how much they look forward to summertime. Yes, being out of school and free to play all day can be a child’s dream.

That said it is important as a mom that you make sure your children have a summer to remember.

As part of those memories, taking a trip or two is something the entire family can enjoy.

For instance, what about some day trips to area theme parks? Yes, it can prove to be quite a busy day, but the memories created can last a lifetime.

If you’re thinking of putting together a summer to remember for your children, don’t fret about expenses. When searching for Universal Studios tickets or other tickets, there are deals.

So, how do you go about locating such deals?

Use the Internet as a go-to Resource

To find theme park deals and discounts for other such venues online, remember:

· Company websites – You should look at a variety of websites to find deals. One such option would be those sites that negotiate deals on tickets. When you use sites to locate the best airfares, hotels and more, do the same for theme parks. More times than not, you will land a great deal that will keep more money in your purse or wallet.

· Social media – With social media, it should come as no surprise that such networks offer great info. As such, keep your eyes open for info on deals. Sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and more can be what you are looking for. Many venues and companies negotiating deals use social media to spread the word.

Though publications still have roles in marketing, the Internet is your best resource.

Learning is Important too

As much as you want your kids to have fun over their summer breaks, don’t shut the door on learning.

You might find some surprise in discovering the things a child can learn when he or she is not in the classroom.

For instance, have you thought about sending your child to summer camp?

Although they will have time for outdoor activities, learning can prove quite beneficial.

In today’s digital age, some parents want their kids to learn about computers and technology. So, how about sending your child off to a summer computer camp?

There is also the idea of doing a parent-child day or days at local arts and crafts events. Not only does your child learn some new skills, but you get to spend quality time with them in the process.

Another option is doing some history trips with your children.

Whether learning how the U.S. came to be or touring a Civil War battlefield; think fun and education. In fact, you as a mom can learn some history too.

From fun at Universal Studios to learning how the Internet works, your child can have a blast this summer.

And before you know it, those school bells will once again be ringing.
