Family Outing Destination: Hyde Park Village
We've all found ourselves at home on a Saturday afternoon trying to figure out how to spend the day. As new parents, however, a once curious question becomes a frantic quest for answers: "What are some things to do with a baby?" Moreover, are any of these things free or cheap?
My search for answers is ongoing and I'll post new ideas and places as I find them. Be sure to check back often as I update my "Things to Do" page with those results!

Hyde Park Village is not only a great spot for shops and dining, but it's also an oasis for young families. If you're looking for a way to spend the day outside with the little ones, here's your answer.
Stay-at-home moms relish the exercise inducing atmosphere while their tots get a thrill ride in their mom-fueled jogging strollers. While the quaint streets can host a nice mid-week outing, a short drive on a Saturday afternoon will quickly answer many a new parent's dilemma: "What are some things to do in Tampa with babies/small children?"
The streets are adorned with strollers and the playground at nearby Kate Jackson Community Center is wonderful. From swings and slides to fountains spouting from the ground, this park has everything your toddlers need for a fun day outdoors.
From fresh markets to various festivals, weekends at Hyde Park Village are always entertaining. Plus, with three different complimentary parking garages, you'll have more cash to spend at City Street Sweets.
Leaving the kids with a sitter? Great; celebrate date night with a pint at Irish 31 before catching a movie at CineBistro. Day or night, this is the perfect place to pass the time. Besides, 100 stroller-lunging moms can't be wrong.

Hey K.D. The kids are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great place to go with the kids - or even without. What i wouldn't give for a night out on the town.
Thanks for this post!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! You should definitely try to get a night out. It's always great to recharge. Plus, I'm pretty sure the kids are cuter when you get home.
ReplyDeleteWe were there this past weekend. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been perfect for it! I've also found that it's a great central point for meeting with friends from around the Bay area.
