As of this writing, I’m not sure if it’s safe to say that we’re in a “post-pandemic world” (especially since we’re still Alert Level 2 here in Cebu, Philippines) but places have opened up and kids have been allowed to go out now (yey!) BUT places have yet to catch up on activities that would be more inclined to kids. My husband and I constantly peg the question “Asa ta?” (Where do we go?) when we want to go out (since we always go out with the kids). While there are kid play areas that are open, it’s too costly to keep opting to keep choosing places like those. So where can a family with little kids go without having to spend so much?

While browsing around Facebook, I saw SM’s post about having a Dinosaur set up at SM Seaside Cebu and a Summer sweets theme for SM City Cebu. Pretty awesome for them to do this so that families have a place to go to that kids can enjoy looking at and being around. The spaces they did these set up’s in have a big enough space for kids to frolic and run around which makes it very suitable for kids to enjoy. So, off we went!

The kids enjoyed being in these areas and us parents were happy too because it was less expense!

I’m always looking out for free, kid-friendly places so if you know a place, let me know!
