Winter Family Fun

Timothy Rodman • January 25, 2024

With the cold winter months, it’s easy to want to stay in. But there is still a fun world, ready to explore, even when the temperatures are low. Here are some ways you can break out of the winter funk and provide a family experience that’s worthy of some good times.

TRIP TO THE MUSEUM

Museums provide a fun, warm day out, with exhibits and activities available year-round. Plus, as a member of GBU, you have access to discounted tickets and buy one, get one offers for participating museums near you, thanks to VIP Perks! by Entertainment®.

“FUN” CENTERS

With VIP Perks! by Entertainment, you can treat the whole family to local “fun” centers this winter season. Find dozens of things to do, games to play, obstacles to climb–all in heated indoor comfort (and with deals like “buy one ticket, get one ticket for free”)!

WINTER MOVEMENT

Though ice skating is an activity that’s enjoyed all year round, there’s something magical about it during the winter months. Especially when the skating rinks are located OUTSIDE! Through VIP Perks! by Entertainment, you will find deals for local ice-skating spots–like buy one, get one free–that are sure to get the family moving!

FROM FLORIDA, WITH LOVE

For those wanting the chance to spread their wings down south, VIP Perks! by Entertainment offers generous discounts to lands far, far away. For instance, take a 30% off deal to visit LEGOLAND® Florida Park. Escape the chill and visit a sunny destination at a discounted price.
