Water play, water play and then some more water play.

Agree water play, park, walk in the woods, puddles, messy play, petting farms, literally anything at this age is fun for them and mostly free!

Yep! I used to really enjoy a day out at ikea when it was really hot and I had a little one this age! A lot of the rooms are fine for them to have a little explore, or pop them in a trolly while you browse, picking things up and showing them etc, and then you can have a cheap child friendly meal in the cafe too. Great changing facilities etc. Whole afternoon activity complete!

Splash park. Most are free.

Do you live near a library? That was a good walk for us once a week and choose books. Local museum to walk about and stand at the same interactive for half an hour…oh they were the days.
I think when you go places it should be because you enjoy it and they are free, like a zoo. Often all they care about is running about.
