Family Activities in Plant City

The crown jewel of Plant City parks. Multiple playgrounds for different ages, a paved walking trail around a scenic pond, covered pavilions, and sports fields. Ducks and wading birds are a hit with kids — bring breadcrumbs.

Over 200 life-size dinosaur replicas along shaded walking trails. Kids can dig for fossils, explore the playground, and pick out a souvenir at the gift shop. A guaranteed hit for dino-obsessed children.

Make it a family tradition. Parkesdale Farm Market's massive strawberry shortcake and thick milkshakes turn a simple snack into a core memory. Let the kids explore the market and pick out fresh fruit.

The 11-day festival has dedicated family-friendly programming — livestock shows, a midway with rides for all ages, the Strawberry Tent with prize-winning berries, and strawberry shortcake everywhere you look.

Hiking trails, boardwalks, a reservoir for fishing, and excellent wildlife viewing. Alligators, turtles, and wading birds are common sightings. The playground and picnic shelters make it an easy full-day outing.

The monthly community event in downtown Plant City with live music, local vendors, food trucks, and a family-friendly atmosphere. Kids can run around the park while parents browse and socialize.

Start a weekend tradition: grab coffee and donuts at Hole In One Donuts, then take the kids over to McCall Park to eat them in the gazebo then play some checkers. Simple, cheap, and the kind of routine that becomes a favorite memory.

Third Saturday of the month, downtown Plant City. One of Florida's premier free classic car shows, open to all vehicles 1997 and older. Live music, food vendors, and Award of Excellence trophies make this a hit with the whole family.
