Title:
Budget-Friendly Family Outings: Combine Attraction Coupons and Local Events
Synopsis:
A practical weekend plan for families to save on attractions using coupons, plus a dose of local holiday fun with Buoys by the Bay displays in Niantic. Spark early planning with a mix of discounted admissions to LEGOLAND and SEA LIFE, and top it off with Niantic’s Buoys by the Bay holiday tradition.
Proposed itinerary outline:
– Day 1: Saturday
– Morning: LEGOLAND Discovery Center visit with available coupons (save up to 40% off tickets where offered)
– Afternoon: SEA LIFE Aquarium stop for a marine-themed outdoor/indoor experience, using current coupons if available
– Evening: Niantic holiday activities featuring Buoys by the Bay displays
– Day 2: Sunday (optional)
– Explore local Niantic events or small-town activities, continuing Buoys by the Bay displays if still ongoing
– Family-friendly dining and a relaxed afternoon to wrap up the weekend

– Consider combining purchases (e.g., a LEGOLAND ticket plus SEA LIFE) if a bundled deal is available, and plan travel times accordingly.
– If Buoys by the Bay runs through the weekend, map a route that minimizes backtracking and maximizes time for each activity.
