Summer in Northern Kentucky is here, and as moms, we all need a game plan to keep the kids happy—and ourselves sane. Here’s a quick peek at my top verified local spots for splashy fun, fresh finds, and indoor adventures when the clouds roll in. Ready to save your sanity?

🌊 Splash & Spray at Covington Spray Park

Bring swimsuits and towels to the zero-depth Covington Spray Park at Bill Cappel Youth Sports Complex (100 Decoursey Pike). With gentle sprays, toddler slides, and shaded seating, it’s the perfect spot for little ones to cool off. Open daily through the summer—check the City of Covington’s site for current hours.

🛍️ Fresh Finds at Campbell County Farmers’ Market

Every Saturday from May through October, 9 AM–12 PM, the Campbell County Farmers’ Market lights up 709 Monmouth Street in Newport. Stock up on seasonal produce, artisanal breads, and local honey—kids love sampling fresh berries while you explore the vendor stalls.

🐠 Rainy-Day Wonder at Newport Aquarium

When the skies open up, dive into adventure at the Newport Aquarium on the Levee. Wander through mesmerizing exhibits, meet stingrays in the touch tank, and conquer the “Splash & Bubbles Play Climber”—all under a dry roof. It’s the perfect mood-booster on a soggy afternoon.

🏰 Indoor Fun at The Gallery Play Area

Just steps from the aquarium, The Gallery’s Children’s Play Area in Newport on the Levee offers a supervised, sock-only soft-play zone for kids 12 and under. Slides, tunnels, and climbing structures keep little energy burners busy while you recharge with a coffee.
