5 Places in Edmond to Visit With Grandkids Near Teal Creek

One of the best parts of living at Teal Creek is welcoming family for a visit. But as every grandparent knows, keeping the grandkids entertained requires a bit of planning. Fortunately, Edmond is a "Family Fun" hub, offering a mix of history, activity, and classic entertainment.

If you have the grandkids in town, here are five local spots near Teal Creek that are guaranteed to make their visit memorable:

1. The Arcadia Round Barn (Route 66)

   Just a short drive east on the iconic Mother Road, the Round Barn is a piece of living history. Kids love the unique architecture and the "whispering" acoustics of the upstairs loft. It’s a great, low-stress outing that offers plenty of photo opportunities and a quick history lesson without feeling like a classroom.

   
   

2. Pelican Bay Aquatic Center

   If the grandkids are visiting during the summer months, Pelican Bay is the place to be. This municipal water park features slides, a lazy river, and a dedicated splash area for the littlest visitors. It’s a safe, well-managed facility that is a favorite for local families.

   
   

3. Showbiz Cinemas

   For a rainy day or a break from the heat, Showbiz Cinemas on Covell Rd offers a "one-stop-shop" for entertainment. Beyond the latest movies, this facility features a modern bowling alley and a large arcade. It’s the perfect place to let the kids burn off some energy while you enjoy a comfortable seat and a snack.

   
   

4. Mitch Park & The "Storybook Forest"

   Mitch Park is more than just walking trails. Depending on the season, the park hosts events like the "Storybook Forest" during Halloween or various community festivals. The playground equipment is top-tier and inclusive, ensuring kids of all ages have a space to play while you enjoy the shaded benches nearby.

   
   

5. POPS in Arcadia

   Just down the road from the Round Barn is POPS, famous for its giant LED soda bottle. With over 700 varieties of soda, it’s a "must-see" for kids. You can grab a burger and a craft root beer, browse the endless aisles of colorful bottles, and enjoy a truly unique Oklahoma experience.
