Kid-friendly places in Citrus Heights

A mostly-ballfields park with one good play structure, covered picnic tables and a creekside nature area with dirt trails to explore.

Citrus Heights's big park, with three play areas, a creek and nature area, lots of covered picnic tables and a pool with a mushroom fountain in summer.

The Citrus Heights library, with a kids' room and regular baby and family story times.

A dinosaur-themed indoor play space for babies up to about eight, with a big climber, a ball pit and pretend play. Tuesday mornings come with a music class.

The original Leatherby's, scooping since 1991: burgers first, then sundaes big enough to share (you'll need to).

An indoor adventure park with trampolines, climbing walls, ninja courses and bumper cars.

A Korean dessert café for croissant waffles, bingsu shaved ice and soft serve, the kind of treat stop older kids get excited about.
