Holiday planning can be stressful — are they hosting this year or are we? — and the last thing a planner needs is kids, home from school during break, saying, “I’m booooored.”
You’ll have no trouble entertaining the youngsters with this list of 32 kid-friendly activities around Derby City.
Joe Huber’s Family Farm & Restaurant, 2421 Engle Rd., Starlight, IN From outdoor barnyard activities to hayrides, there’s lots to do at Huber’s. Kids will remember riding a wagon to the pumpkin patch.
Kentucky Science Center, 727 W. Main St. | Family memberships available If you need to head indoors — brrr — this downtown destination boasts movie showings on a four-story screen, traveling exhibits, and other special events. Kids will remember hands-on activities that demonstrate the wonder of science, like the splashable water table and the ever-changing science depot.
While the library inside Mid-City Mall is hopefully staying put in any potential new development, it does make you think: Maybe the Mid-City Mall sale might be what revives the Shelby Park Library.
