Things to do with kids in Waterloo

A toddler and a ten-year-old need different outings, so here are things to do with kids in Waterloo by age. Little ones get Recharge & Play on Parkside Drive, where $15 covers a big climbing structure and a separate infant and toddler zone. Ages 4 to 16 can paint or make crafts at Beautiful Bridge on Wild Ginger Avenue, where classes cap at 10 kids and materials are included.

Older kids can take on 18 holes of mini golf at Market Sports on King St. N. for $13.95 or chase plushies in the claw machines at UniClaw. On Tuesdays, kids eat free at Pickle Barrel in Conestoga Mall.
