You could spend the whole day at the indoor water park, Fort Rapids. You can get a family pass which is less expensive than buying individual passes. Another indoor event for hot days is spending the day watching movies at Cinemark Movies 12. They show second run movies for significantly less than regular theaters. This way you have more money to spend on snacks. Another attraction that includes shopping is the Longaberger factory that is shaped like a big basket. Although it includes shopping, kids will like the shape of the factory and can see how the baskets are built.
So you don’t need to go away and spend a lot of money to have fun.
