It’s time to bust out the futons, buy extra food, and clean the house to prepare for relatives to visit during the holiday season.
And while extra time with the family is always a good thing, let’s be honest:
We all need a break sometimes.
Here are some things to do to get out of the house that’ll keep your kids and adult relatives busy:
A trampoline park is a great way for your kids to have fun and get some energy out at the same time. Parents can join or watch from afar. Beyond the typical trampolines, Defy Florence has extreme dodgeball, battle beams, an area for very young kids, a ninja course, and lots of other ways to wear those kids out. Single passes are $25.99 per person for 90 minutes.
Defy Florence is located at 4999 Houston Road in Florence. Hours are 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Buy tickets here.
Jump Zone is another great place to take the kids to get some energy out. Jump Zone has inflatable slides, obstacle courses, bounce houses, toddler activities and more.
Jump Zone is located at 5795 Constitution Drive in Florence. Tickets are $10 for kids under 2 and $15 for kids 2-12 years old. Learn more and buy tickets here.
Newport Aquarium is a good way to occupy the family while staying warm inside. Regular admission ranges from $22.99 per person to $39.99 per person, depending on which exhibits you want to see.
Behringer Crawford Museum is great for kids and adults, but it can be a great outing when you need to leave the kids at home.
The Covington museum features collections, presentations and studies of Northern Kentucky’s natural, cultural and performing arts heritage, according to the company’s website. The museum offers tours for both kids and adults.
Behringer Crawford is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 1 p.m to 5 p.m. on Sundays. Admission is $9 for adults and $5 for children under 17. Learn more about the museum here.
Newport on the Levee is another good place for kids and adults alike. From Barking Box to 16 Lots, there are plenty of places to get food and drinks. There’s plenty to do if you want to just walk around and peruse the shops, or you can take the kids to the newly opened Brickery or to see a movie.
