Farmers Markets
I've always loved going to the Ogden Farmers Market, but did you know that there are more awesome places to get fresh produce and hand-crafted goods? There is a different one in a different city in Davis or Weber County almost every single day.

Summer Movie Clubs
Sometimes I want to beat the heat and find somewhere with air conditioning so I can cool off. Summer movie clubs are the perfect solution. They aren't free, but with ticket prices between $1-3, it's close enough.
The Kaysville Theater always has $5 movie tickets, but during the summer, they have $1 matinee kids movies on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 12 PM and 2:30 PM. I haven't see many of the movies that are on the list this year, so I think we'll be going quite often.
- Cinemark has its summer movie clubhouse on Wednesdays at 9:30 AM. https://www.cinemark.com/series-events-info-pages/summer-movie-clubhouse/
- Megaplex has 10 movies for $25 https://store.megaplex.com/products/digital-kids-summer-movie-pass-2025
Free Play and LEGO Building
Bricks and Minifigs (4074 Riverdale Rd, Ogden, UT 84405) has a free Open Build for kids 4-12 every Wednesday from 11 AM to 4 PM. "We’ll bring the bricks—you bring the imagination." It’s the perfect midweek break for curious minds and creative hands.
BONUS: Want to take your creation home? Kids can pay their age to keep their build! No sign-up needed—just drop in, build, explore, and play all summer long! It's another great way to beat the heat.
