Top 10 Things to Do with Little Kids in Mt. Juliet
Little ones, big fun. Mt. Juliet is one of the most toddler- and preschooler-friendly towns around. Here are the top 10 things to do with little kids — most of them easy, shaded, and stroller-ready.
- Charlie Daniels Park Splash Pad — the go-to for hot days; bring towels and snacks.
- Charlie Daniels Park playgrounds — multiple play areas, shade, and room to run.
- Mt. Juliet Public Library story time — free songs, books, and crafts for the under-5 crowd.
- Long Hunter State Park — Couchville Lake loop — flat, paved, and just long enough for little legs (and strollers).
- Old Hickory Lake / Cedar Creek beach areas — gentle shoreline for sand play and wading.
- Providence Marketplace fountains — free splash-and-giggle spot between shops and a treat.
- Farmers Market (seasonal) — kid-friendly, with snacks, music, and sometimes animals.
- Greenway stroller walks — easy nature time along Stoner Creek.
- Ice cream & treat stops around Providence — the universal toddler win.
- Celebrate Mt. Juliet — inflatables, a splash pad, and a kid-sized cruise-in every September.
Tip: pack water, sunscreen, and a change of clothes — splash-pad days get happily soggy. Check seasonal hours first.
