5 Must-Visit Spots for Kids

Trying to burn off some energy? Looking for the perfect birthday spot to impress your kids’ friends? Find your family fun in Baltimore County.

It’s no secret that kids can be hard to please—that’s why parents across the mid-Atlantic are so grateful for the countless attractions Baltimore County has for the youngest members of the family. Whether you’re visiting relatives in town, looking for a place to book your child’s birthday party, or are simply looking for a family-friendly activity on a lazy Saturday afternoon, these five County favorites are sure to have your kids asking you to go back again and again!

1. Monster Mini Golf | Parkville

Monster mini golf’s Towson location is the County’s premier miniature golf course. Adorned with animatronic zombies and glow-in-the-dark creatures, this children’s entertainment center has a unique, neon-colored take on a classic family game. Be sure to check out the laser maze and the arcade after hole 18…if you’re not scared stiff first.

2. Stoneleigh Duckpins | Towson

Stoneleigh Lanes has been serving Towson residents for almost 80 years. They claim to be one of the oldest bowling alleys offering duckpins in the region and host competitive bowling leagues for children and adults. This is a casual stop with a pinch of nostalgia—the perfect venue to enjoy time with loved ones. As the owners note, “you won’t find high tech gizmos or whiz bang devices; just good old-fashioned service.”

3. The Go-Kart Track | White Marsh

Much like its karting counterpart, Autobahn Speedway, The Go-Kart Track on route 40 has special racing options geared towards young children. While both of these beloved circuits give families the chance to race in a way that prioritizes fun and safety, The Go-Kart Track is unique in its range of amenities and racing packages designed for everyone in the family, offering three different tracks of varying intensity and a mini golf course for those who don’t want to take the wheel.

4. Urban Air Adventure Park | Middle River

Urban air is more than just a trampoline park. This sprawling complex is a one-stop adventure emporium filled with every attraction a kid could want: bumper cars, arcades, laser tag, bowling alleys, climbing walls, obstacle courses, dodgeball courts, and so much more. Kids will find it impossible to be bored once they walk in the door, and parents can take a break from the action and grab a bite at the Park’s Café.

5. Skateland Putty Hill | Putty Hill

Skateland is another County classic, welcoming roller enthusiasts of all stripes and skill levels to Putty Hill for almost 50 years. Open skate sessions throughout the week give locals and newcomers the chance to get into the groove.
