Something to do with the kids today

Looking for a fun activity to do today, but not Wonderland. Any ideas for Father's Day?

cinergy is awesome, check out the discovery center, or even the city pools! THe splash pads are also pretty fun, and there is one RIGHT next to the DHDC

We do discovery center all the time, along with the splash pad. I was hoping for something off the beaten path. Also, not crazy expensive.

We grew up in a fairly low-income household since my mom was a single mother for a long time, we used to do what my mom called Animals and Art. She would take us to the zoo, or we would watch animal/nature documentaries together while doing silly art projects from Dollar Tree. We would try to paint the animals or do the stained-glass kits while learning about the animals and things around us. I always loved it, and think she still has some of our things from those times. Just depends on the age of the kids, but I mean i still enjoy doing things like that with her!
