auxo "free" weekends

---

Weekends don’t have to come with a price tag. In fact, some of the best childhood memories grow out of simple moments: a walk through a frosty park, a scavenger hunt in your own neighborhood, or a library trip that unexpectedly leads to a whole new world. Auxo “Free” Weekends is all about helping families discover those little treasures — experiences that spark joy, connection, and imagination without spending a dime.

Whether you’re bundling up for an outdoor trail, turning your living room into an obstacle course, or exploring a new corner of your town, Auxo brings you ideas designed to fit every family, every season, and every level of adventure.

Winter transforms the outdoors into a shimmering stage for imagination.

Try one of these no-cost adventures:

• The Great Neighborhood Nature Walk

Look for patterns in bare branches, icy puddles, or winter birds that stick around for the season.

• Park Treasure Hunt
  

Create a list of winter finds — a pinecone, a squirrel track, something red, something round.

• Sunrise or Sunset Moment
  

Pick a quiet spot and watch the sky shift colors. Take turns telling “sky stories.”

Nature doesn’t charge admission — you just show up.

Libraries are indoor sanctuaries for curious families.

Try these free library adventures:

• Choose books only by color, not title.
• Walk through the children’s area and let your child pick one book outside their usual favorites.
• Find the library’s free events — storytime, craft sessions, STEM demos, family reading clubs.

Auxo’s Library Spotlight in the app also shows family-friendly libraries near you — perfect for winter weekends.

Every town has overlooked treasures:

• Historic bridges
• Riverwalks
• Community murals
• Tiny parks you’ve never noticed
• Decorative winter light displays
• Public gardens resting for spring

Turn them into micro-adventures:
“Let’s find the smallest park in our town.”
“Let’s map all the murals on Main Street.”
“Let’s find a building older than grandma.”

Auxo’s Hidden Gems Map (in the app) can help families uncover these spots in seconds.

Cold day? Stay warm with:

• The Living Room Explorer Course
Cushions, blankets, hallways, and imagination — that’s all you need.

• Kitchen Orchestra

Pots, spoons, measuring cups, and a family rhythm challenge.

• Family Craft Box

Collect toilet paper rolls, string, spare buttons, old jars…

Then let each person invent anything using what’s inside.

• Movie Night with Themes

Pick a theme and create snacks or drawings to match.

Auxo’s “Indoor Explorer Spots” section offers even more no-cost ideas tailored for cozy weekends.

Many cities and towns host free:

• Holiday festivals
• Park ranger programs
• Outdoor concerts
• Farmers market demos
• Family fitness days
• Winter storytelling nights
