Routines are a parent’s ultimate superpower. Every mom knows the best way to keep their kids thriving is to have a daily set schedule that will keep everything regulated. Routines offer stability while ensuring our kids get a scheduled nap time so we can catch up on chores, rewatch our favorite comfort shows, or maybe catch some zzzs ourselves. The only issue is that sometimes, strict routines can make things feel a little stale. If you need the perfect way to shake up the norm and feel refreshed, here are the best things to do in Zionsville to create lasting memories! As a mom & Indianapolis family photographer, I’m always exploring the neighborhood.

5 Fun Things to Do in Zionsville for The Best Day Ever

Traders Point Creamery

9101 Moore Road

Zionsville, Indiana 46077

It’s pretty easy to go through our day without ever thinking about the production of our food. Traders Point Creamery allows you to learn more about your favorite snacks in the most delicious way possible. The operating dairy farm gives you the chance to take a self-guided tour of their farms using a 1.5-mile hiking trail. You’ll be surrounded by wildlife as well as the grazing herds. You can relax afterward in the attached restaurant, which has an impressive brunch menu featuring kids’ favorites. My toddler loves to take the farm walk to see the cows!

While Mulberry Fields Park is wonderful all year long, it becomes a kid’s oasis during the summer. Beat the heat with their splash pad featuring colorful sprinklers. The area has a run-off where your child can play with water toys and splash in puddles. Once the temperatures dip, enjoy their dry play area with a full-sized playground and nature-filled walking trails.
