It can be incredibly difficult when you have children to find something to entertain them for the day. Countless hours can be lost desperately searching for places nearby to take them, hoping that they’ll enjoy it. But no day trip needs to be stressful. To make things easier, here is a helpful list of some of the best and most exciting places guaranteed to be fun for the entire family and keep those little ones busy. Not only are these great fun-filled, family entertainment destinations, but they’re just a car ride away!
- Autobahn Indoor Speedway
What could be better after a long drive with the children asking if they’re there yet than arriving at the Autobahn Indoor Speedway and letting them finally get behind the wheel on a go-kart track? If you really want, you can join in and race them yourself!
The Autobahn Indoor Speedway borrows from Germany’s iconic road to have a simple philosophy of no speed limits — making it a go-karting experience like none other. But, there is still an emphasis on safety with years of research going into finding the safest karts, tracks, and barriers, so you can have peace of mind that your family will be safe while you leave them in your dust!
- Bowl America
Bowl America may be the place where thousands cheer, but the only cheers you care about are those from your family. Bowling is definitely an activity for the entire family, from young children to grandparents, and Bowl America prides themselves on their ability to cater to everyone’s needs.
With bumper bowling, lightweight bowling balls, and small shoes for the kids, as well as visually exciting cosmic bowling where the lights go out, the neon comes on, and lasers shoot around the room, it’s guaranteed to be a fun day for children of any age, and as a result all of the family.
- Volcano Island Waterpark
If it is really sunny outside you might not want to be stuck inside in a go-karting place or bowling alley, which is where Volcano Island Waterpark comes in. The park has two adrenaline-inducing water slides, a 500-gallon dumping bucket, and a giant wading pool and water play structure for the children.
Meanwhile, while the children are playing and splashing around, the adults can relax underneath the palm trees and tiki canopies. Then the whole family can go and get a delicious bite to eat at the Paradise Cafe. There is even a mini golf course right next to the water, in case you fancy a dry spell.
Whether it’s bowling, go-karting, splashing about at a water park, or something else entirely, there’s certainly no denying that Sterling is actually a great place for families with a multitude of fun family-friendly destinations. So, the next time you’re looking for something for the children to do and you’ve got a free day, why not take a trip to one of these amazing places?
