Ideas to make the most of your visit to Emery Mines

Three Questions

Before leaving, everyone writes or says 3 questions about where you visited. Compare at the end of the day.

Memory Capsule

Each person picks one specific thing from the day to describe in detail — as if explaining it to someone who wasn't there.

Back Pocket Bingo

Spot 5 things wherever you are: something red, something round, something taller than grandpa, something that makes noise, something old.

Rate the Day

Score the day 1–10 on the drive home, then explain what would make it an 11. Grandkids give honest answers.

Grandparent Money Tips

• Ask about combo deals and multi-attraction passes before buying individual tickets — local areas often have family-friendly bundles.
• Weekday visits are almost always cheaper and quieter than weekends. This applies basically everywhere.
