7379 Squire Ct West Chester, Ohio 45069 Chugga Chugga Choo Choo! You’ve probably passed this place at least a dozen times. It’s off of the Tylersville Rd exit on 75 – viewable from the interstate. And it be blunt – it doesn’t look like much from the outside. But step inside and be swept away into a world of a trains. 🥰 This place blows my mind. You walk back in time. I feel like I am walking through a cobble […]

Omni FunPlex 12171 Omniplex Ct., Cincinnati, OH 45240 😍 Who remembers the Arcade at Northgate Mall? Forest Fair Mall’s Giant Ferris Wheel? Discovery Zone? These were the places of my youth – fun exciting places to go that didn’t seem to totally break the bank like a trip to King’s Island might. But for some reason – these places slowly disappeared. One by one. Except Chuck E Cheese. But the 2010’s seem to be the revitalization of the indoor amusement […]

Sharon Woods Adventure Station 11450 Lebanon Rd Sharonville, OH 45241 Cost: 4 per kid ages 2 to 12. Under 2 is free. (Plus yearly parking pass for Hamilton County Parks). I choose my indoor adventures carefully. With two kids that are two years apart (3 and 1) – it can be difficult to locate places where I can interact with both kids without leaving one totally abandoned and out of sight. And with my oldest being an “adventurer” aka he […]
Continue Reading6844 Tylersville Rd West Chester Ohio 45069 Across from the cone 😉 I’ll be 100% honest – I’ve done the Play Cafe experience before and I’ve usually left less than impressed and would make return visits only when desperate for some indoor activities. This place is different. It is apparent within five minutes of play here that a lot of tender loving care went into the design of this place. Everything that is wrong with other Play Cafes – this place […]

Voice of American Park 7850 VOA Park Drive West Chester, Ohio 45069 Even when it’s cold outside – fresh air is so good for us. I’m a firm believer in bundling up and getting out there for Fall and Winter fun. That being said – I don’t recommend this after the heavy rainfall we had for two days. The slides weren’t just wet…they had mini lakes at the bottom of them! Saturated pants for the major loss. PlayStructures A large […]

Rentschler Forest 5701 Reigart Rd Fairfield Township, Ohio 45011. I know this park well. This is the first park my husband and I went to after moving into our home. We went for a hike that turned into a little bit of a trial in survival-ism as we got a bit twisted around and lost. We took our son here for a stroll on the paved path when he was a few days old. This is our park. And when […]

Pine Hill Lakes Park 211 Kings Mills Rd Mason, Ohio 45040 THIS PLAYGROUND HAS BEEN UPDATED. SEE THE NEW REVIEW HERE. I swear at least half a dozen people recommended this park to me and I am so glad they did! Like the Blue Ash Nature Park – this park feels like a Park! Trees, walking paths, a couple of fishing ponds. It is beautiful, scenic and well kept. Mason really has an abundance of beautiful parks – and […]

Hanover Park 2592 Old Oxford Rd Hamilton, OH 45013 This parks just makes you feel warm inside. I seriously got a helping dose of nostalgia and the “warm and fuzzies” here today! I don’t know if it’s the old school wooden benches, the beautiful trees or the country atmosphere surrounding the park – but it is a “feel good” kind of park. This park is located just outside of downtown Hamilton and honestly – it is well worth a thirty […]

Dudley Memorial Park 5700 Yankee Rd Liberty Township, OH 45044 This is a fun community style park. It has a nice mix of nature + play structure to give it genuine park feel. This is my favorite style of park. I’m not a fan of the desert playgrounds stuck in the middle of a city environment (I’m looking at you Summit Park). Potty Training: I’m going to start here because what the heck Liberty Township? I seem to encounter this […]
