FOR THE KIDS

Bring the whole family to Owatonna for water parks, and fun events for all ages! We know that itineraries can be hard to stick to when you have a family, so here are a bunch of ideas to keep your kiddos busy when it works for your schedule!

Enrichment

Spend the day enjoying nature with the kids on a wildflower walk at Rice Lake State Park or learn archery at Cabelas Worlds Foremost Outfitter. Check out the local fish in the Cabelas aquarium and capture a picture with lifelike taxidermy of native and exotic animals. Discover the rich history of Steele County at the Village of Yesteryear and at the Orphanage Museum.

Cool Off

Bring the kids over to the River Springs Water Park to float on the lazy river, enjoy the climbing wall, and play on the sand volleyball court. Build a sand castle on the beach and splash around in the swim area at Lake Kohlmier.

Seasonal events

Owatonna is hoppin’ during the Steele County Free Fair in August. Experience deep fried smores, an exotic petting zoo and exciting rides. With no admission fee to the fair, your entire family can stop by each day and see something new!

For the movie lover

Take in a movie and lounge in heated recliners at Northwoods Cinema 10; watch a movie on a Tuesday for just $5.50 (all day!). During the summer months, catch an outdoor movie downtown in Central Park (check out our Calendar of Events for date and time). Take the kids to a free family friendly movie at the Owatonna Public Library on the 3rd Monday of the month at 6pm. Check to see what is showing next during the library’s “Movies for All” program on their Facebook page.

Run around

There are plenty of opportunities to burn off energy around town. Hang out at the Bike and Skate Park, play disc golf at the River Rock Disc Golf Course at Mineral Springs Park, and play mini golf at Waters Edge Miniature Golf Course. Bring the kids bowling at Spare Time Entertainment, and make sure to play laser tag while you’re there! Run around the playground at Fairgrounds Park, a local favorite.
