We love Helena, Alabama, and all it has to offer our community of families. And there is so much for kids to do in this charming place! So here is our list of 7 things to do in Helena with kids…
1. Freezy’s Creamery
Who doesn’t love a delicious treat on a hot day (or any day!)? Treat yourself and the kids to Freezy’s Creamery in Helena and enjoy ice cream by the scoop or by the pint, waffle cones, outdoor seating, and more. And you can even order your favorite flavors in pints using doordash!
2. Lee Springs Park
We love this park because of all of the shade! Lee Springs Park is great on a hot day because the park is built under a beautiful canopy of trees. It has different sizes of slides, ziplines, swings, picnic areas, and more. It’s great for all ages!
3. Hillsboro Trail
Hillsboro Trail is a 3.6-mile multi-use, shady trail where you can walk, run, hike, or take your bike or scooter for a ride. It takes an average of a little over an hour to complete the entire trail. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.
4. Thirstea Cafe
Thirstea Cafe is a local spot in Helena to get your Boba Tea fix and they boast of having the best Boba in Birmingham! Try their Boba tea or a poke bowl while you read one of the many books available, and play a fun board game with your kids. They have locations in Helena, Inverness, and the Pizits Food Hall.
5. The Depot Deli & Grill
The Depot Deli and Grill is a kid friendly restaurant with delicious food and an outdoor patio with a view of the waterfall! The burgers and fries are the best items on the menu, and the staff is friendly and courteous.
