Plan for any of these classically nostalgic activities.

Kids spent summer days splashing around the public pool playing "Presidents" in the water and nights covered up in blankets at the drive-in. Hopscotch and chalking sidewalks kept children busy for hours, while rollerblading was the best source of travel.If you're looking for a summer filled with nostalgia, there is no better way to bring it all back than simply experiencing it all over again.

Roller rinks still exist and both blades and scooters have evolved in a mega way in the last few decades. Motorized scooters and electric rollerblades, AKA hoverboards, are hugely popular, but nothing truly beats the freedom of doing the work yourself.Check out your local rinks for a '90s theme night, likely hosted by a millennial DJ.
