1. Have a picnic in your own backyard or at a local park.

You got to eat anyways, so you might as well make it fun! You don’t need to drive an hour away to have a picnic. You can do it in your own backyard or at a local park.

2. Go for a hike or bike ride on a nearby trail.

This is an amazing way to get some exercise and fresh air while having fun. It’s fun to explore new trails, and you can even bring your picnic lunch with you to make a day of it.

3. Go Stargazing.

The only thing this might cost you is some sleep! It’s best to see the stars later in the night or very early in the morning. This is a great activity for a clear night. You can find an online map of the stars to help you identify constellations, or just lay back and enjoy the view.

You will consistently see satellites as there are currently over 4500 in active use.

Try to get out during the meteor showers for the best free show around.

4. Have a game night with friends or family.

There are so many great games out there that are perfect for large groups. You can play classic card or board games, or try something different like Cards Against Humanity or What Do You Meme? This is a great way to have fun without spending any money.

5. Go on a nature walk and see what you can find.

This is a great activity for kids, but adults can have fun with it too! See how many different types of plants or animals you can find on your walk. Or see how many different colors you can find. This is a great way to get some exercise and fresh air while having fun.

6. Make a homemade pizza or meal.

You can have a lot of fun making your own pizzas or meals from scratch. It’s a great way to be creative and it’s also budget-friendly. You can find some great recipes online or make up your own.

7. Be a kid and play outside!

There are so many great games to play outside. You can play tag, frisbee, or just run around. Or you can use your imagination (like you did when you were a kid) and pretend you are in a different universe exploring all the sights and sounds. This is a great way to get some exercise and have an extreme amount of fun that (often) only kids get to experience anymore.

8. Have a movie marathon.

You can have a lot of fun watching movies, and it’s even better when you do it with friends or family. You can make popcorn and snacks to enjoy while you watch. You can even make it into a themed marathon, like all your favorite rom-com’s or action movies.

9. Go to a free museum or art gallery or historical place.

There are usually a lot of great museums, art galleries, or historical places in most cities, and many of them are free! This is a great way to learn about new things and have fun at the same time.

10. Have a dance party.

Who needs the bar where you have to pay for admission and drinks? You can stay at home and have your own dance party! Put on your favorite tunes and let loose. This is a great way to get some exercise and have fun at the same time.
