Low Cost Things To Do With Kids 2: Visit a Pet Store

Posted by drozzell on November 18, 2008

Here is another simple, yet fun idea: visit a pet store, not to buy, but to browse.

Pet stores can be a lot of fun as a quick, easy-to-do activity. There are pet stores located in almost every town, and most have a variety of animals on display, which change from week to week depending on what animals have been sold and what new animals the pet-store owners have recently brought in. 

For example, near where I live, the closest pet store has puppies, kittens, rabbits, colorful birds of all kinds, and a wide range of fish. The shop parrot (not for sale, the parrot is the owner’s pet) will often respond “Hello!” to your hello!” when you walk in. What a nice treat for any young boy or girl. Just going in and looking around is a lot of fun, and you can talk with your child about each animal that you see. And not to be overlooked—going to a pet store is free!
