Stone Mountain Park ($8 parking fee per visit or $35 for a pass, I have a pass)
Fernbank ($85 for a family membership, has reciprical memberships with other ATSC groups - we plan on visiting Cape Canaveral this summer on our trip to visit my parents, so we'll get in free as a result. That combined with one Fernbank visit has paid for it.)
Cub Scout Day Camp - my son is attending, I'm volunteering (it's a week long camp, but it's one less week of planning)
Cheerleading camp - my daughter's preferred summer camp. She'll do this while my son and I are at scout camp.
Georgia Aquarium - as a volunteer I'm free, my kids have annual memberships. Visit twice and it's paid for easily. Doesn't cover parking, but if you're willing to walk a block, you can find cheap parking.
Tennis camp - really only an hour a day for 4 days, but it's something my daughter wanted to do.
Video GameMaker Camp - another half-day camp that my son wanted. He ultimately wants to make video games like pokemon.
Kangaroo Conservation Center - they've recently lowered their youngest age to allow kids in. Now my daughter is old enough to go. This is reasonably close to home and should make a cool day trip.
Zoo Atlanta - we've had a membership here since I was in college.
AMC Summer MovieCamp - $1 movies every Wednesday @ 10am
Bowling - good for a rainy (hot/smoggy) day. I joined the Brunswick mailing list and get coupons on a regular basis.
Other Stuff (Discounts) -
Entertainment Book with lots of activity coupons in it.
ExploreGeorgia.org has started advertising around here recently. It has a "Dream Pass" which gets discounts and various places.
For anyone coming in from out of town, there's the CityPass which Atlanta joined about a year ago. Good discounted tickets. I may use that if/when my niece/nephews visit.
I'll keep an eye out for any other free/cheap activities for my kids. If anything cool comes up, I'll share that as I can.
