Deal: Parents in the know are already aware that godsend = the museum passes available from the Melrose Public Library. Given that the weather is on an upswing and the library allows pass reservations up to a month before your chosen date, you need to get your hands on the Massachusetts Park pass―ASAP. The pass guarantees free parking at many amazing regional parks, including Walden Pond, Bradley Palmer State Park and nearby Nahant Beach.

Order the daily special on Monday through Friday and get your wee ones a free kid's meal in return. (Coupon online.)
