Dining out as a family can get very expensive – entrees, kids’ meals, appetizers, desserts and drinks for a family of four can easily set you back by a hundred dollar. It’s not always possible to cook at home 7 days a week because the parent in charge of cooking, needs a break too! Sometimes, you just want to spend a good time out with the family. Wouldn’t it be nice if children get to eat for free? Yes, some restaurants are going the extra miles to offer free dining for your child.
