Kids Stuff - lots to do at Kempenfest

There's lots to do for kids at Kempenfest. From the exciting Traveling Theme Park to the children's village at the South Shore, to arts and crafts demonstrations for kids, there's no reason to leave the youngsters at home. And if that's not enough, check out the accessible playground at Centennial Beach and take the kids for a dip in Barrie's popular waterfront beach. Summer is for kids, and so is Kempenfest.

YMCA Children's Village

Kempenfest is for kids! There’s no need to leave the youngsters at home this long weekend because Kempenfest has lots to offer kids of all ages. Start your day on the south shore at the YMCA Children’s Village, where there is an exciting array of games, crafts, activities and giveaways.

YMCA staff have scheduled an exciting array of activities for kids of all ages to enjoy. In addition to a rock climbing wall there will be jumping castles and pony rides. Create some wonderful crafts or challenge Mom and Dad to one of the games -  you may win a great prize.

The YMCA Children’s Village is active and affordable; some activities have a small cost associated with them. All proceeds will go to the Barrie YMCA’s Sponsorship Campaign which helps families and children.

Your next stop should be the Robertson Traveling Theme Park Midway – sure to thrill your kids for many hours. The hot attraction again this year is Drop Zone. Go ahead, join them for a tummy turning trip. Fun? Wow!

Kempenfest chooses to partner with Robertson Amusements because of their impeccable safety record, the clean and attractive rides, and their friendly and helpful staff.  Have some fun at the midway.

And even if you take away everything Kempenfest has to offer your kids you’re still left with one the favourite parks there is in Barrie. Between the accessible playground, sandy white beach and the mini putt, Centennial Park is one of Barrie’s most popular parks. So if all else fails, make sure you pack a swimsuit and go jump in the lake with your kids. You’ll both love it.

When all else fails. . . there's Centennial Beach!
