Cheap Entertainment

As we all know, summer is coming up! This means more free time as well as more stuff to do! However, if you're anything like me then your budget doesn't just disappear in the summertime. I've done a little research on cheap or free activities in Topeka that will be open soon if they aren't already. To keep this post short I have links for everything that I looked up. Enjoy!
