Take a look at our suggestions of great things to do with kids!
Imagine U Children's Museum
Get ready to learn about where our food comes from, what animals live in the big Oak Tree, how a car works, and even get to paint on the walls! This family friendly place is where children and parents can learn about themselves, each other, and the world we live in through hands-on explorations, interactions, role-play and down-right fun experiences. Hands-on exhibits help kids explore science, environmental conservation, and the arts. (And the kids won't realize that they are learning!)

With seven acres of fun for the whole family, Adventure Park is the perfect stop! Get ready to experience the thrill of open-air driving in the Family Go-Karts, cool-off in the Bumper Boats, play a round of Miniature Golf, or go head-to-head in Laser Tag. Also Sequoia Springs water slides wet zone is 'buckets' of fun! This is a Family Time everyone will remember!

Kids and parks go hand in hand. Mooney Grove had lots of room to run around, play structures to climb on and even fish to catch in the pond! Whether you have an hour or the whole day, there is fun for all! Don't miss the Mooney Grove Museum and Pioneer Village with an old school house and a real train car!
