At Whitaker Farms in Climax, North Carolina, the newly updated Kid Zone is built for unstructured, tactile play: a jump pillow for bouncing, a Bubble Barn for giant soap spheres, a Rat Race pipe track for goofy competitions, slides and a sandbox for digging, plus opportunities to feed animals. The attraction is reservation-only and designed as a family day of interactive fun.

THE PLAYGROUND

Jump Pillow & Slides

A newly installed jump pillow invites all ages to bounce, while adjacent slides add quick, repeated thrills—simple, high-energy features that set the tone for an active visit.

THE GAMES

Bubble Barn and the “Rat Race”

Hands-on amusements like the Bubble Barn—where visitors can make giant bubbles—and the cheeky Rat Race pipe track give kids a chance to create, compete and laugh together.

THE ANIMALS

Sandbox Play and Animal Feeding

Quiet moments balance the high-energy play: a sandbox for digging and designated times to feed farm animals, keeping the experience varied and family-friendly.

What the day feels like

What a day in the Kid Zone feels like

Once inside the Kid Zone, the day is a series of short, tactile experiences—bounce sessions on the jump pillow, attempts to blow the biggest bubble, quick races through the Rat Race pipe track, repeated slide runs, sandbox excavations and animal feedings—framed by the farm setting and designed for back-and-forth family play.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this Kid Zone works for—and who should plan differently.

1
Active FamiliesWell suited: parents and children who want short, high-energy play sessions (bouncing, sliding, racing) that cater to a range of ages.
2
Mixed-Age GroupsGood match: the Kid Zone is described as 'fun for all ages,' with activities that engage toddlers through adults.
3
Organized Groups & PartiesAppropriate with planning: operators require a minimum of 15 people to book, so larger family gatherings or small groups that can meet the minimum will be the best fit.
4
Spur-of-the-Moment VisitorsNot ideal without planning: the Kid Zone is open by online reservation only, so walk-up visits are unlikely to be possible.
