I thought I would share a list of kid-friendly places that was created by caregivers in my Toddler Two's class a couple of weeks ago. The list is incomplete since we didn't quite get everything recorded, so I've tried to fill in the gaps by memory. And of course this is just a sample from a group of ~7 parents. Please comment if you have suggestions or corrections.
In no particular order:
- Airport Viewing Area
- Wild Rumpus Book Store
- Edinborough Indoor Park
- Rebe's Cafe
- Sovereign Grounds Cafe
- Hopkins Turf Tots
- The KUBE at Plymouth Community Center
- Minnesota Zoo
- Como Zoo
- Minnesota Children's Museum
- Red Balloon Books
- Minneapolis Institute of Arts (Mia)
- Sea Life Aquarium at Mall of America
- Crayola Experience at Mall of America
- Twin Cities Model Railroad Museum
- Good Times Indoor Playground
- Rainbow Play Systems (Bloomington)
- Indoor walking loop at Bethlehem Covenant Church
- Open Gyms/"Tot Times"
- Longfellow Park
- Highland Park Community Center (St Paul)
- Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board site...
- Story Times
Seasonal/Event
- Ice Skating Rinks
- Many outdoor rinks
- Indoor rinks in Bloomington, Richfield, and the Minneapolis Parade by the Walker Art Museum
- Kite Fest at Lake Harriet (winter)
- Art Shanties at Lake Harriet (winter)
- U.S. Pond Hockey Championship at Lake Nokomis (winter)
- MondoFest at Concordia College (winter)
- Pencil Sharpening near Lake of the Isles (summer)
That's all I can remember. It heavily skews towards places that either have admission costs or are otherwise selling something-- if you have recommendations for locations/events that have no (or minimal) cost, please comment!
