We can all agree the baby items' industry is forever changing. There are tools and equipment we use regularly today that weren't available to our parents when we were wee lit'l babes. The same is true even in my 10 years of raising my youngin's!

After living in the Twin Cities for over a decade—five of those as a parent and many before as a teacher—I’ve explored a lot of kid-friendly spots. From cozy coffee shops with play areas to massive playgrounds and hands-on museums, this area is packed with places where kids can burn off energy while parents actually enjoy themselves too. Some spots are perfect for a low-key morning with little ones, while others make for full-blown adventures that even older kids will love. I’ve been on both sides—coordinating field trips as a teacher and now chasing my own kids around—and I’m still finding new gems all the time! What I love most is how many different kinds of outings are possible here. There are spots where kids can climb, run, and explore freely, places designed to spark creativity and curiosity, and even restaurants and breweries that actually welcome families instead of just tolerating them. Whether you’re looking for an easy weekday outing, an indoor option for winter, or a way to make errands more fun, this list is packed with places that make parenting a little easier—and a lot more fun!

Start planning in advance, lean heavily on DIY or grocery store catering and you can build a birthday bash that’s balling on a budget.

Better yet you do not have to pressure other parents with expensive gifts - just let them know not to spend more than $5 or to skip a gift all together.

There’s nothing sweeter than watching your little one “cook,” “shop,” or “fix things” just like you. But the best part — all that pretending isn’t just play. It’s how kids build imagination, language, problem-solving skills, and confidence. Pretend play toys turn everyday moments into real learning.

My little nephew was just recently diagnosed with severe peanut allergy. We are a big peanut butter eating family so it was quite a shock. Then we heard about the Teal Pumpkin project.

When I was 16 my mom was ill at Christmas, so on Christmas Eve I took on the task of playing Santa – getting the presents under the tree and filling the Christmas stockings. It was probably 10:30 at night on Christmas Eve when I realized that Mom had gotten stocking stuffers for my sister and I, but the boy friendly stocking stuffers for my brother were sadly very few. This was before 24 hour Walmarts and my brother ended up with a lot of candy from the gas station because that was all I could find. So my advice, plan ahead.
