Green Acres • @greenacresmidland • A Midland favorite since 1955, Green Acres provides hours of fun with mini golf, arcade activities, and Snack Bar! Walk-ins are welcome, but tee times are strongly recommended. Suggested by Kristen Covington, Co-Owner of Found Furnishings.
Kid’s College • 3600 N. Garfield, Midland, Texas • Kids’ College is a summer enrichment program for students who will be completing the 1st through 6th grades in the 2021-2022 school year.

Art Camp at The Studio • 3211 Wadley Ave, Suite 5, Midland, Texas • School is out and Art Camp at The Studio is in session. With drop-ins available, art camp is the ultimate fun for littles ages 4 through 14. Everyday provides a new and fun experience that includes painting, slime or some other extremely messy activity you don’t have to clean up! Suggested by Kristen Covington, Co-Owner of Found Furnishings.
Sibley Nature Center • @sibleynaturecentertx • Let littles explore the wild Llano Estacado with the experts at Sibley Nature Center. Sibley provides ample at-home activities, as well as a Kid’s Camp for littles ages 9 to 12. Suggested by Natalie Castillo, Founder of Bello Tallow.
Centennial Park Splash Pad • 200 West Wall Street, Midland, Texas • Keep kiddos entertained and cool at Centennial Park’s Splash Pad. The Splash Pad is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (weather and maintenance permitting). Suggested by Heddy Herron, Co-Founder & Director of Functional Medicine of MORPH.
Museum of the Southwest’s Children’s Museum • @museumofthesouthwest • With ample activities all summer long, Museum of the Southwest is a fabulous local resource for keeping littles entertained. As is their newly re-imagined Children’s Museum, which features painting zones, sensory galleries, toddler zones, and more! Suggested by John Morris, Owner of Morris Construction Company.
