Does anyone know of any free or inexpensive activities that are great for my 8 month old son and I to do this summer? I have him in Gymboree, swimming lessons and play groups. Are there any hidden treasures out there?
Try Tot Town at Shiloh Community Church, 32nd Street north of Union Hills. There's also another church in the NW valley that does a Tot Town, but I don't remember the name.
Here's the Shiloh info:

Rio Vista Park has a splash park too.

Try some of the Chandler Parks - Chuparosa has a splash pad, and there are some great city pools... the new one, Mesquite, and Hamilton pools have great water play areas for all ages.
I don't know where you are at, but Chandler has 2 indoor playgrounds that run every day but Wednesday. $2 per kid for 3 hours of fun. One at Downtown Community Center and one at Tumbleweed Rec Center.
You can join a local MOMs Club chapter and then you will be able to meet other moms & tots close to you. All MOMs Clubs have weekly playdates & other activities to keep you busy.
