Lifetime has made getting my workout in SO much easier. Daycare is in the building y'all! Their kids' academy is a total game-changer with engaging classes, crafts, and active play so I can actually enjoy a workout, massage, or a game of pickleball. There are indoor and outdoor pools with splash pads that make it feel like a mini vacation for the littles. Plus, the family events, including a 'Parent's Night Out',  has made this membership a marriage saver, a business boomer, and a self care staple!

We could not get enough of COSI! It’s basically a science playground for little ones and it seems like the opportunities for exploration are endless! The Little Kidspace area is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers, with water tables, pretend play zones, and interactive exhibits that keep them entertained for hours. I love how everything is designed to be touched and explored, so I don’t have to stress about saying “no” every two seconds. It’s educational, fun, and fully worth the membership if you’re in Ohio. 

The National Children’s Museum is a dream come true for curious kiddos and exhausted parents alike! It combines STEM learning with imaginative play, so your child can explore everything from space travel to art installations—all in one visit. I love that it’s educational without feeling stuffy, and everything is sized just right for tiny hands. It's indoors, clean, and packed with energy-burning fun, making it a lifesaver on rainy or chilly days.

ZooTampa is one of those magical places where both kids and grown-ups have a blast. The habitats are so thoughtfully designed, and there's an adorable toddler play zone with shaded areas, and an out of this world splash pad that's perfect on a hot Florida day. We love the behind-the-scenes encounters and the fact that everything is super walkable, even with a stroller. It’s also incredibly family-focused with plenty of spots to stop, snack, and nurse or rest if needed. Did I mention the zoo has rides too? Yeah, fun on top of fun here. Trust me, get the membership. It's well worth the cost and you'll definitely want to go back.

We had the best time at The Florida Aquarium—it’s air-conditioned, stroller-friendly, and packed with colorful marine life that kept my little one completely captivated. The splash pad has closed but they've replaced it with an outdoor play area that’s perfect for burning off energy after checking out the exhibits. We even got to hang out with Spider Man while we were there. :) I especially appreciate how the aquarium is designed for all ages, with sensory-friendly features and lots of hands-on activities for curious little minds. It’s a solid go-to when we need something fun, engaging, and indoors!
