A Few Ideas for Wallet-friendly Wishlist


Everyone has a list. Call it what you will, a bucket list, a wish list, a to-do list... They usually include something such as: Go Whale-watching. Go Skydiving. Visit Paris.
Okay, great! That sounds pretty close to my own wish list! (Minus the whale-watching. That was an unwanted adventure!)
Problem though.... mula. Dinero. Money!
Something I really don't have!
So while having Travel the World and Climbing Half Dome isn't a bad thing to have on your bucket list, here's a few ideas for more affordable adventures!


1. Archery Tag!

Now is your chance to truly become Katniss/Legolas/Hawkeye! This active game is recommended for people ages 8 and up.... or just anyone who can shoot a bow and arrow, I suppose.
It costs about $20-$25 per person (each place is different, of course) and is pretty safe, considering the helmets and marshmallow-looking tips on the arrows.

2. The Color Run!

Wear a white shirt to this event and come back colorful (and exhausted!) 5K races are usually not exciting, unless you're one of those oh-I-sprint-a-mile-in-5-minutes-'cause-it's-easy people... but this is no ordinary run, centered more on having fun than on how fast you can go! $20-50, unless you're under age 6,

3. Crayola Factory

Speaking of color, here's a place where you can watch it made, and also color and play to your heart's content. This factory is located in Easton PA, with tickets $9.75.

4. Ici Ice Cream 
Apologizes to those who do not live in CA... for this ice cream parlor has been dubbed one of the best. Unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to actually eat here, so I can't give a review on the quality. Since it's ice cream, however, I'm sure it's not bad.

5. The Great Vermont Corn Maze!
Opening day was July 25th, and closing day is October 18th. Every year this maze is changed, and along with it comes other activities as well! Price ranges from Free to $15 depending on your age.
Can you complete the maze?

So friends, there is 5 ideas right there for you... and expand from those ideas! Maybe you don't want to do archery tag, but you DO want to learn how to shoot a bow. Or maybe you hate running but you would enjoy the color...in which case, Pinterest comes in handy. Instead of going to a specific crayon factory you actually want to go to a chocolate factory, or go to a different ice cream parlor other than the one listed above. Develop a fun yet wallet-friendly bucket list.
