Now is a great time to visit somewhere new, or visit again if it has been a while. It’s like a buy one get one free opportunity but for tons of different free things to do in Southern California.

We have been to the Safari Park, Zoo, Birch Aquarium (which I highly recommend). We hadn’t been to a few of the museums they offer though so we headed there last year.

San Diego Kids Free October changes the locations yearly so check every Sept. Mark your calendar for a new place each weekend in Oct.!

Here is the complete list of Kids Free October activities for 2017: below are a few of our favorites

• Sea World
• San Diego Zoo
• The USS Midway
• Birch Aquarium at Scripps

If you haven’t taken your kids on a trip on the train it is great fun! It doesn’t really matter where you go. Just pack a lunch and head out on an adventure just to say you went on one.

Train lovers will be thrilled about this one.

• Ride on Amtrak
• Children’s Nature Retreat
• Railroad Museum

If your child has an interest in surfing this is a great opportunity to try it. Whale watching is one experience we did during Girl Scouts that my daughter will never forget.

I get sea sick but was fine on the boat that left out of the San Clemente area and we did see a few…they guarantee it! Even little ones get a kick out of this experience.

Museums that offer hands on experiences are always fun for all ages, even older kids.

• Surf free with Surf Diva
