If you have a fourth grader in your family, you can sign up for the Every Kid in a Park pass and the whole family gets free admission to all national parks for the whole year. The fourth grader will need to complete an “adventure diary” in order get the pass, and be sure to print it and take it with you, since they will only accept printed copies. The pass is valid through August 31st, 2018 (see complete rules).
Find out the details here. Thanks, Carole!

Groupon has some discount packages for Colorado Springs’ Great Wolf Lodge right now! The deals are for stays between April 11th and July 5th, and do note that there is a $29.99 resort fee on top of the room rates. I would encourage you to check out the deals on Great Wolf Lodge’s own site to make sure you are getting the best deal – the Groupon looks like a pretty great deal but I haven’t compared prices extensively.
You can also get deals from Groupon on Great Wolf Lodge’s other locations.

The annual Kids Bowl Free program starts as soon as today for some locations, and this year there are five participating centers in the Colorado Springs area: Fountain Valley Bowl, Harmony Bowl, King Pin, The Summit Interquest, and WhirlyBall! Sign up for this program and your kids aged 15 and under can get two free games of bowling every day through most of the summer (and some programs, like The Summit’s, run even longer).
You do have to sign up for the program for each specific bowling alley, and they’ll email you the vouchers each week. Bowling shoes are not free but are required. Go here and click on your desired location to get dates, details, and sign up.

The semi-annual Living History Days reenactment will take place April 27th and 28th at KPOF Westminster Castle, reliving events at Princeton, New Jersey in 1777. They’ll have battle reenactments, a drama, and more hands-on activities. Here’s a preview of what this is like from a prior year:
Admission is $4 for ages four and up, with a maximum admission charge of $20 per family (cash or check only). There are optional activities for kids that require an additional fee and pre-registration (info on that here). They often fill up quickly for these events, so don’t delay if you want to sign up for one of the extra activities.
You can see photos and video from previous events and get much more information on the Living History Days website.
