Yours is a bad post. You provide no comparison.

It was a rollercoaster.

In the end it will be worth it for the children.

Comparison to what? Are you in the dive bar?

Just left the dive bar.

It talks of the price of family swimming and the price of a trip to the zoo.

These are no use with out a local price for one to compare too.

Dashie gave the local swimming price ($25) I just threw the London Zoo price in because it's outrageous.

I stand corrected.

There is a zoo somewhere round here. One day I will go.

The zoo here

Cheer up Millie, it's almost over !

It really really is....things are starting to melt!

The price of theatre and music tickets is a sadness to me here. For some amateurish bit of something at the 'playhouse' here they want $40 a ticket ditto for 'string quartet' things here...so all the tickets seem to be corporate jollies and there are some quite good bands that go to Moncton, but I can't qualify with travel spending 250$ on a night out with my sprog, so he's becoming a cultural heathen!

Peterborough Zoo is free, run by Peterborough Utilities.

Swimming is around 50 a month for an adult. The river is free.

It has improved and it could be way better, but I do have more here than I would/had in the UK, and it was totally worth it.

I think zoos, to the extent that we still have them or need them, ought to be free (or near free). Like museums and galleries.

Yes, paying for State owned museums and galleries is anathema to me. When they are free or at least have free days I can usually drag a philistine friend along with me and more often than not they find something to interest them.

That and college/university fees just leads to national ignorance.

Free if you use Clubcard tokens though. Don't remember the last time we paid for a family day out, we either get freebie tickets (Clubcard etc), or just go to free places e.g. London museums.

Even swimming's free using our 'recycle points'.
