Kiddie Acres Delivers for Toddlers

Following my review for Rock 'N River in Round Rock, I though I would add my input on Kiddie Acres.

For anyone who has ever taken Howard Lane and ever passed this place with curiosity, do stop by and enjoy if you have children of six and under for entertainment.

I have taken my daughter to Kiddie Acres for the last two years. We started when she turned one which seemed to be the best age. She could sit up by herself so it was the ideal place. My husband and I discovered this place by driving passed it several times and asked what it was, but never stopped. However, it was Google that encouraged us to give it a go as we were looking for weekend things to do with her. Voila! We had something to do and now knew for certain what Kiddie Acres was!

Let me just say that Kiddie Acres is the perfect amusement park for toddlers and the pre-k children. The rides are easily accessed, are enough to give children a thrill without terrifying them. What really excites me about this park is the fact that it took me back to my childhood. The rides are completely old school metal airplanes, boats, merry-go-round, trucks and ferris wheel. They even have a train ride, mini golf and pony rides.

One full round of amusements will run parents about $10. As there is no admission and rides are paid for with individual tickets, it is a recession proof way of treating your child without breaking the bank! Wednesday is discount day and Sunday is discount day for the grandparents! The park offers discount tickets with Military ID EVERY DAY.

Staff are teen-aged, mature, and very friendly. They will help children on and off rides, but really, parents, it is our job. So help them run the park efficiently!

Lilian loves the pony ride and the airplanes. The staff are wonderful in working with toddlers while on the horses. They are highly attentive and I never felt unconcerned about teenagers not paying attention to my daughter or sacrificing her safety while on the horse.

Also, Kiddie Acres offers covered picnic tables that are perfect for hosting birthday parties. However, be aware that Kiddie Acres only allows cake and presents in their park. They do want you to purchase the food from their concession stand.

Aside from that such minor detail, I look forward to Kiddie Acres continuing to provide my daughter and family entertainment for at least another three years until she has grown out of it!

A must do for any Austinite family!
