On summer vacation and looking for some cheap fun activities to keep you and your family busy? You are in the right spot! There are many activities you can do and places you can see all over PEI that are affordable and fun for everyone!
If you are interested in parks that are fun for the whole family there is Sandspit Amusement Park in Cavendish, home to PEI’s largest rollercoaster, a ferris wheel and the Rock N’ Roll. Burlington Amusement Park also offers affordable fun, with Go Karts and batting cages. Last but not least, Shining Waters Family Fun Park is the place to cool off on a hot day, with numerous water slides and also a variety of farm animals!
On a rainy day, practice your golfing at Black Magic Indoor Mini Golf or go take a look at Ripley’s believe it or not or Wax World of the Stars, all located in Cavendish. Not in the budget? Perhaps car-load night at Brackley Drive-in Theatre is more affordable. Enjoy watching movies outdoors or in your car and the best part: you feel like you’re back in the 1950’s!
For low to no cost adventures, the beach is a great place for the whole family to go and relax, make sand castles, and enjoy the beautiful ocean. PEI has miles of beautiful beaches, each one with its own character. Looking for sand that sings? Try scuffing your toes at Basin Head. Prefer lots of company? Then stop by Cavendish or Brackley Beach. Who among us does not have a happy memory of a family day at the beach, when the atmosphere was so relaxed that we didn’t even notice the sand in the sandwiches?
There will be numerous Exhibitions taking place all across PEI this month. These events are generally very affordable and FUN! In Prince County there will be the Tyne Valley Oyster Festival, and the Kensington Harvest Festival. In Queen’s County there is the Old Home Week in Charlottetown. And last, in the King’s County area there will be the Northumberland Fisheries Festival and the Eastern Kings Festival. All these events will be happening all summer long so be sure not to miss out on all the fun!
