I am wanting to plan a playdate with my friends and their children when I come into town. What fun activities are there to do both indoor and outdoors in Kettering/Dayton area? The childrens ages range from about 12 months to 5 years old.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you to everyone who responded. We ended up taking the kids to the Boonshoft Museum and they had a BLAST!

yellow springs is a great place to walk around and window shop. Young's Jersey Dairy is a fun place to stop at. They have farm animals and ice cream and you can golf too.

Dayton Mall has a fun event for both moms & kids. It's called Momtopia Monday. Their next event is scheduled for Monday, October 10, 10:00am.

They're featuring a performance by Joanie Whittaker who will sing songs from her "Potty Party" CD. The kids have a little area in front of the stage where they all get together and dance.

At the event they also have a fashion show, mom makeovers, character appearances, and games & activities for the kids.

If you want to find out more details you can just go the the website at DaytonMall.com/Momtopia

It's a great event!
