An enjoyable summer on a budget can start at home! If the uncertainties of the beach floor or the swamped pools of public resorts aren’t your thing, then you can make a splash in your own backyard instead with the help of inflatable pools!

Imagine lounging on a float in the comfort of your own home, surrounded by your family and the warm sun on your skin. You can even complete your mini oasis with a beach ball, summer chairs, and umbrellas. And the best thing is, you can set it up anytime, any day in the summer!

Inflatable pools are definitely fun, convenient, and budget-friendly! You can make it even more affordable by scoring awesome discounts on kiddie and family pools and floaters from Toy Kingdom and The SM Store!

Play at an amusement park or arcade!

Another cool way to hang out with friends and family this summer is by heading to an arcade near you where you can enjoy a variety of games under the cool blast of the AC! From shooting hoops to shooting zombies to grabbing cute plushies inside the claw machine, the arcade is definitely a place to chill and bond over the summer! Why don”t you bring your little siblings or cousins to Tom’s World for a day of fun?

If you seek more exhilarating thrills, then you can also visit an amusement park such as SM by The Bay in Manila, which combines rides like the Dream Twister and Drop Tower with good food, exciting activities, and a stunning seaside view of Manila Bay. Of course, it is also home to the MOA Eye, the biggest and tallest Ferris wheel in the country!

You can always go for the classic ice cream or enjoy a burst of flavors with a cup of halo-halo. If you’re cutting down on calories, you can go get some froyo or gelato, with varieties of toppings and mix-ins that you can typically choose from.
