Sorry, but — NO ADULTS ALLOWED — this one is for the kids. Grown-up, please hand this over to your little one. Got it, kiddo? Let’s plan a family day together. Here’s a fun schedule for you to try.
Morning
Be a chef and cook breakfast for the adults at home. The night before, ask your family to choose from one of these recipes . Don’t be afraid to ask for help if any of the instructions seem confusing.
While you eat, talk about your plan for the day. Ask your family to help you prepare a backpack with things you’ll need. We suggest bringing:
🍫 Plenty of snacks like granola bars
or Popcorn Paradise
💧 A water bottle
🧢 A hat
If you have time before heading to lunch, play at a playground like the one in Woodland Park.
Afternoon
For lunch, head to Poppy & Olive . The best part? You get to color while you eat. After you’ve filled your belly, spend the afternoon exploring the Explorium . What are you looking forward to most? Taking a picture with the giant teeth? Or standing inside a giant bubble?
Evening
Wrap up the day with a family dinner. Head to one of our local farmers markets to pick out foods you can make together. Over dinner, talk about everything you did today. Ask questions like:
🧠 What was something new you learned?
🤡 What was something funny that happened?
👀 What would we do differently if we did that again?
👍 What do you definitely want to do again? (And again and again…)
Grown-ups — take pictures along the way and share them with us . Also, send us more family-friendly recommendations and we may just feature them in an upcoming newsletter.
