Kids’ Day Out: Bloomsburg

Discover, create and explore at this family-friendly museum designed just for kids. The Bloomsburg Children’s Museum sparks curiosity with interactive exhibits on science, art, history and more. Hands-on activities invite little ones to build, play and learn while exploring topics like dinosaurs, space and local culture.

The Bloomsburg Town Park is a favorite community spot for family fun along the Susquehanna River. With playgrounds, sports fields, picnic areas and shaded pavilions, it’s a perfect place to spend an afternoon outdoors. Families can enjoy fishing at the lagoon, playing a round of disc golf, or catching a community event at the band shell. The park also features a skatepark, making it a popular destination for kids of all ages.

Located inside Bloomsburg Town Park, the Norris E. Rock Memorial Pool is the perfect place to cool off on a hot summer day. Kids can splash in the large swimming area, zoom down the tube slide, bounce across lilypad floats, or shoot hoops in the water. With lifeguards on duty and plenty of space to swim and play, it’s a fun and refreshing stop for the whole family.

Nothing tops off a day of play like ice cream, and Brennan’s Big Chill has plenty to choose from. Kids can pick their favorite scoop, sundae, or milkshake, while adventurous eaters can try one of the shop’s many rotating flavors. With treats like banana splits, floats, and even kid-sized sundaes, it’s a sweet stop to complete the day.

Wrap up your day with some furry fun at Cats in Bloom, a nonprofit cat café in downtown Bloomsburg. Families can bring along their own drinks or snacks and spend some quality time playing with the café’s friendly, adoptable cats. Kids will love cuddling and interacting with the cats, and who knows—you might even meet the perfect new pet to bring home.
