Summertime is the best time. There's no school and no homework, and even if you have a job -- your weekends are free! It can be hard to figure out how to occupy all of this newfound free time. Maybe it's time to look into your past and remember the endless fun you used to have in the good old days.

1. Go to a water park.

Remember when slipping and sliding down the tallest of water slides was the highlight of your summer? What about wasting days away on the lazy river or jumping around in the wave pool? What better time than this summer to relive those water wonderland glory days and spice up your free time?

2. Mini golfing

On a perfect warm summer evening, gather up some of your friends for a good old game of miniature golf. It's a fun way to bring friends together -- and hey! Maybe the loser can even buy the winner some ice cream.

3. Go to an aquarium

Rainy summer days call for adventure. Going to a local aquarium for a few hours, or even making a day trip out of it, is a fun and interesting way to spend a not-so-nice day indoors.

4. Go to the zoo

Who does't love going to the zoo and seeing your favorite animal right before your eyes? Is it a fuzzy lion? An alligator lounging on a rock? A giant real-life elephant? On a day where you find yourself just lounging around, grab some friends and a camera and take on the world of nature!

5. Go to an arcade

Getting tickets, winning prizes, taking on the impossible claw game -- all are vivid memories from childhood. Dig out your competitive inner self and spend an afternoon fighting for those stuffed animal prizes -- and don't forget your quarters!
