1. Reiter Park: A clean, modern playground with shade (yes, shade!), splash pad, and walking trails. Bring snacks, and you’ve got an afternoon covered.

2. Candyland Park: This one’s got space to burn energy. Sports fields, a skate park, and a great open area to let kids just *be kids*.

3. Big Tree Park: One of our favorite “field trip” stops—short trails, a boardwalk, and Florida history that’s easy to turn into a lesson.

4. Hourglass Brewing: Sounds like a date spot, but it’s surprisingly kid-friendly during the day—outdoor seating, food trucks, and even retro games.

5. We Rock the Spectrum: This indoor sensory gym is amazing for kids of all abilities. It’s safe, inclusive, and designed to support sensory needs, motor skill development, and imaginative play. Bonus: It’s mom-friendly too, with a comfy seating area and visibility across the entire gym.
