We need an activity for adults and kids under 4 for very little money in Mobile Alabama?

Question

We have two kids age one and three and 4 adults and need something to do that doesn't cost a lot

Answer 1

Hang out at the malls, they are both across the street from each other on Airport Blvd at Interstate 65.

Municipal Park is huge with a lake and stuff for them to play on, there are ducks to feed also. It's on Ziegler Rd close to the University of South Alabama.

Dauphin Island is just south of Mobile if walking on the beach is something you might like, there are about three piers there and Fort Gaines.

Downtown Mobile has Fort Condi and it's free admission, alot of times there's a carnival right in front of it also.

I don't know right off hand if anything out of the ordinary is going on downtown but there are always Carnivals, outdoor concerts and in late February Mardi Gras starts.

Answer 2

How about go to the Municipal Park off of Ziegler. They just opened up a new section of the park (a playground) that got put on hold after katrina. Take a loaf of bread and feed the ducks. Bring your bikes as they have a fabulous bike trail. They also just built a new bridge over the pond that connects to the art museum. The landscape is lovely and would make for a nice stroll. While you are on that side of town head over to the flea market (off schillinger) and get the kids some cotton candy.

Answer 3

Check your local library. They usually have story time for preschoolers and toddlers. Some libraries even have family movie night or special presentations. Borders also offers story time for children. We like to go to the park and play with the children (fly kites, play in the sand, play soccer etc.) At home I always bring out the play-dough. You can make your own with a simple recipe. Look on the Internet for more fun activities for children under five. Take a trip to the museum or to the zoo. When you go to the library ask about special community activities or community classes. If you qualify by income there is a special fund that helps families.

Answer 4

Gulf Islands National Seashore on Santa Rosa Island. I used to burn up whole days just watching the waves...
