Take a trip to Troy, Michigan and find family fun. From outdoor nature exploration to indoor playscapes, there’s something for everyone.
Troy Family Aquatic Center
The Troy Family Aquatic Center features a zero depth entry pool with lap lanes and children’s area. Two 175 foot tube and body water slides, a splash pad, sand area and playset – plenty of fun for the whole family! On Friday Nights enjoy discount admission from 7pm to 9pm and special activities.
Stage Nature Center
Stage Nature Center is one of our favorite places to visit and the large climbing rocks at the front of the front lawn of the building are part of the reason why. If you’re able to convince your kids to leave the rocks, the interpretive building is open to the public and kids can check out the aqua wall with live reptiles and amphibians, a dinosaur dig, and nature nook with games and activities. If you simply want to stop by to climb rocks or walk the 2 mile unpaved trail it is FREE and open to the public daily.
Troy Gym
Troy Gymnastics is a great place for open play for all ages. Kids ages 2 to 7 will love the Munchkin Ropes Course that includes climbing obstacles, zip lines and more. The high ropes course is 42,000 square feet and has over 40 elements including rappelling station, rock walls and more for kids 8 years and older. With 4 buildings each with their own unique features and amenities your littles are going to love it.
Slime Studio
The new Slime Studio at Oakland Mall is an interactive experience that slime fans will love. Enter the experience through a light tunnel and test out a variety of slime textures with your hands and even your feet! The brave can bundle up and stand under the slime shower. After you’ve product tested the options, make your own at the DIY Slime Bar. Guests can pick the type of slime they want, the scent, color and accessory before mixing it up.
