Eurkea! Ever since I wrote my post on dwindling travel deals for those over 50, I’ve been looking for a bargain. I’m not over 50, but like the good Girl Scout I used to be, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared. Last night, I found one.
If you happen to have a kid with you, and it doesn’t have to be your kid, and you happen to be in Jacob’s Field where the Cleveland Indians play head to Kids Land. It was glorious. Kid size sodas for $1.00. Push-up orange sherbert for $1.50. A snow cone for $1.00. I couldn’t believe it. What bounty! Just outside the boundaries of Kids Land’s border, sodas were almost 3 times as much. You don’t have to be a kid to partake.
Here’s the thing, I don’t know if this was called Kids Land or Kiddieland, but it’s at Section 117. Follow the signs. Once there, an adult at the gate checks to make sure that each child has an adult with him or her when entering. On the way out, it’s the same so you don’t need to worry about your child getting misplaced.
My son had a blast playing with other kids–the favorite thing was to see just how many of them could fit in a playhouse–and on the way back to our seats in the nosebleed section high above the seagulls, we walked on the inside of the ballpark where we got a better look at the field. Check out the kids page on the Web site for more deals. Children 14 and under can join Kids Club to get some special bargains. One is a free sundae.
