【推荐2】Without reducing fun, anyone can host a birthday party on a tight budget. San Francisco, the East Bay, and South Bay in particular, are full of only-found-here locations that can make the day special. A day at Great America, tour of SBC Park and a baseball game or a private party at the Oakland Chabot Space and Science Center are experiences unique to Bay Area families.
These parties are the most fun because a budget forces you to be creative with what you’ve got. The key here is to find a spot that is free or cheap.
A few places to consider are public parks--find ones with age-appropriate play structures that are relatively safe. In the summer, locate a local pool with plenty of lifeguards and have those handy parents come along as guests. And as you plan, consider your guests’abilities and comfort levels. If your child loves to ice-skate but her friends hate it. maybe she can choose a different activity or mainly choose to do this as a family birthday outing.
Zoos are relatively inexpensive as well. The San Francisco Zoo charges $11 per adult and $5 for each child, ages 3-11, and $8 for 12-17. The Oakland Zoo admits adults for S9 and kids $5. 50 for ages 2-14.
Museums and aquariums (水族馆) often have a free admission day. You can take kids to the Steinhart Aquarium for free the first Wednesday of each month. The same goes for the Exploratorium, also in San Francisco. The deYoung Museum is also free for all visitors the first Tuesday of every month. It also charges all kids nothing, who are 12 and under daily. Organize your free museum days during school breaks or holidays, and you’ll save a lot.

【推荐3】Weald & Downland Living Museum
Fun fact
Over 50 historic buildings from across the Weald and Downland area have been dismantled (拆除) and then reconstructed across a lovely 40-acre site in the south downs national park.
The collection of buildings represents almost a thousand years of rural life in south-east England: furnished just as they would have been in the past-complete with the homes, farms and public buildings. There’s a sense of exploring a real village as you wander between them along green paths, stopping to climb the stairs of a 17th-century craftsman’s (工匠) cottage to lie on the straw bed or sheltering from a shower in a smoky, 14th-century hall.
Getting there
The Stagecoach 60 bus service from Chichester to Midhurst stops just five minutes away at Grooms Yard, Singleton. The nearest railway stations are Chichester (2 miles) and Haslemere (7 miles). The museum is on Town Lane in Singleton, reached via the A286 from Chichester to Midhurst. Parking is free and there are disabled parking spaces opposite the museum shop.
Value for money?
Yes. It’s not cheap but it’s a special experience that easily fills a day. Plus it’s a valuable cause worth supporting. Adults £14, children 5—17 and students £6.50, under-4s free, family £38 (two adults and two children) or £25 (one adult and three children).
Opening hours
Daily 10 a.m.—5 p.m. (last entry 4 p.m.).

Motorhome delivery offers great family holidays. For just $1 a day, you can hire a fullyequipped motorhome, which delivers you to a specific destination within some days and kilometers.

Plan ahead
For a comfortable break, flexibility with times, dates and places helps lower the cost. Find a few hotels you like, ask about their vacant rooms, then wait a few weeks and call again. If they still have rooms, you’re at an advantage to ask for a better price. Lots of lastminute deals are online. Watif (watif.com.au) has deals on hotels that have dropped their prices so low. You don’t know where you’re staying until it’s booked, but anywhere with four or five stars has to be fairly good.
Back to nature
Wild camping appeals to nature lovers and costs nothing. This is forbidden on beaches and parks in most urban areas, but you can turn up in more distant areas as long as nobody owns the land. You’ll need to take everything with you and may need to shop on eBay (ebay.com.au). If you’re a camping beginner, be aware of safety measures and get your questions answered on the Internet.
Swap meet
How about a home swap? For a $250 yearly joining cost, you can stay in someone’s home in an international place of your choice while they or someone else stays in yours. Find out more at familylink.com.au.
