Toy and Geek Fest Reader Ticket Special

by Leave a Comment

Are you counting down the days to the Toy and Geek Fest?

If you’ve been reading for a while, you might know that one of my kiddos is a major fan of all things comics, superhero, and Star Wars. He is literally counting down the days until this celebration of all things geeky, fun, and awesome at the Fairgrounds in Puyallup.

If you don’t have your tickets yet, be sure to grab them soon. There are tons of free and kid friendly things to do included with your admission**

I’ve included a few pics. of what’s in store, but it was really hard to choose! Go to the website if you want to see it all! 

or keep up with them via Facebook or Instagram for previews and announcements.

Plus, I know it’s going to be awesome because it’s all being put on by our friends from the North Pole at the Fairgrounds. They’ve been long time fans of the site, and we’re long time fans of them because they’re awesome, and they really know how to put on a memory making event!

I’ve also got a GREAT deal to share, and it’s just for our readers.

*For a very limited time, when you buy an adult ticket, you get 15.00 off the regular price of a child’s ticket! Woot! Nice savings, right?

This special offer is for new ticket purchases only, and only for our readers. You’ll need our exclusive code to get it. Want it? Email soundsfunmom@gmail.com, and I will hook you up! We do have a limited number available, and it is good just though the 24th, so don’t wait long!

The code can only be used once per transaction. Got two grown ups and two kids? You’ll simply need to do two transactions. You’ve got that, right?

*Child Tickets are for children between the ages of 4 and 12 only.  Children under 4 do not need a ticket, but do need a watchful parent.  Click here for the Terms and Conditions of all ticket sales.

** Activities included with your admission include bounce houses, photo ops, kids’ activities, and much more!
**If you do want to buy merchandise or get celebrity autographs or photos, those are also available. You need to reserve and pay for celebrity autographs and photos in advance-it’s an Incredible line-up! More information on that is here! 
Ready to buy your tickets and save 15.00 off your kids’ tickets? Just send me an email, and you’ll be set! If you don’t hear back from me within two hours, send one again!

by Leave a Comment

Guys!  KidsDay from Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation is coming up Friday, and you do not want to miss this full day of FREE fun just for kids! It’s totally worth the trip for families anywhere nearby!

It all happens at Les Gove Park, 910 Ninth Street SE on Friday, June 22nd from 11AM-4PM.

There will be  inflatable rides, children’s activities, live stage entertainment, mini golf, free museum admission, hundreds of cool vendors (Like US!)  and much, much more. Admission is FREE and so are most of the activities!

Do bring a little cash if you want to do attractions like the swings or get some eats from a food vendor.

Parking is available in and around the park, with overflow parking at Grace Community Church and street parking surrounding the park.

My boys and I have gone to this event several times and always had fun. The lines for the inflatables get long, so you might want to encourage your kiddos to check out other stuff because there is so much to do.

We also like to go early or late in the day for even more fun with lighter crowds, but I’ll leave that part up to you.

For additional event information, parking information, a festival map or entertainment schedule, you can check out the event page on Facebook.or look at the city website here! 

Now, I do want to give you a few tips based on my experience and reader feedback from last year

  • Tip One: Read the information about where to park!! Seriously.
  • Tip Two: Consider going earlier or later.
  • Tip Three: Get a brochure/map. Except for a limited area of commercial vendors, every booth is required to have a free kid’s activity. Check out the map before you go or grab one when you arrive, so you can plan what attractions to hit, and don’t be shy about asking the different tables you visit what they have for you to do! You might also want to preview the entertainment schedule.
  • Tip Four: You will get likely end up with a bunch of swag and things the kids want you to keep. Try to stop by a booth giving out bags early on, or bring your own.
  • Tip Five: Come prepared. Yes, this is a popular, busy event. If that’s not your style, well-consider yourself warned. It also looks like it’s going to be hot, so make sure you’re ready for the weather, and you may want to bring the kids’ swimsuits for the spray park.

And, oh, yeah-We’ll be there! Do be sure to stop by the Sounds Fun Mom booth to say, “Hi!” and chat about summer activities. I’d love to meet you.

Disclosure: We are proud to be a media partner with the City of Auburn Parks Department. They’ve been super cool partners of ours since way back when. If you have a chance to say you heard about their events on Sounds Fun Mom, I’d really appreciate it!
