By Reveal Brentwood | Live! Shop! Eat! Play!
Whether you’re a long-time Brentwood parent or just settling into the 37027 lifestyle, one thing’s for sure: Brentwood is a family-friendly paradise. From indoor LEGO adventures to cooking classes, skating, escape rooms, and lush parks, this city is packed with enriching, fun, and memory-making experiences—all without leaving town.
Here’s your local guide to the best things to do with kids right here in Brentwood:
The Monkey’s Treehouse
Ages: Babies to 8 years
Located off Franklin Road, The Monkey’s Treehouse is THE place to go for imaginative, hands-on indoor play. It’s designed like a real town for kids—complete with a mini-vet clinic, fire station, puppet theater, and craft room. There’s also a giant indoor play structure, dress-up costumes, and sensory toys for little ones. They offer birthday parties, drop-off play days, and seasonal events. Plus, parents can relax with coffee while kids burn energy in a safe, creative space.
Bricks & Figs – Brentwood’s LEGO Lover’s Dream
All ages welcome – yes, adults too!
This isn’t just a store—it’s a full-blown LEGO experience. Bricks & Figs is Brentwood’s locally owned LEGO haven where kids (and parents!) can build, buy, and play. Expect tables full of bricks for free play, collectible LEGO minifigs and sets, and interactive workshops throughout the year. They also host themed birthday parties and brick-building competitions. Many parents say it’s like walking into a LEGO lover’s dream. Looking to trade in or upgrade your collection? They buy, sell, and trade sets and loose bricks too.
Kids Cooking Classes in Brentwood
Kitchen Social – Brentwood
Kitchen Social is tucked away on Ward Circle but, once you find it, they promise an “experience to remember!” The goal of Kitchen Social classes is to provide their customers with a fun, non-intimidating learning experience in the kitchen. Families can join in on parent-child cooking nights, seasonal baking experiences, and occasional hands-on workshops where kids can learn to make pizza, pasta, cookies, and more. It’s a fun way to get children excited about being in the kitchen and trying new foods, all in a beautiful and social environment.
Williamson County Parks & Rec Cooking Classes
Offered at the Brentwood Indoor Sports Complex, these community-based classes feature beginner lessons, baking, and themed seasonal sessions for kids and preteens. Affordable, engaging, and taught by local culinary pros.
Sky Zone Trampoline Park
Sky Zone is ideal for all-ages and especially for families with energetic kids. With open jump areas, foam pits, dodgeball courts, and glow-in-the-dark nights, it’s a crowd-pleaser for all ages.
This is a go-to for birthday parties and rainy-day escapes, and there are even designated toddler jump hours for little ones.
The Escape Game
Family-Friendly Rooms Brentwood’s location of The Escape Game offers kid-friendly escape room adventures that encourage teamwork and puzzle-solving. The rooms are immersive but not scary, and most are suitable for ages 10 and up (with adult support). Themes rotate regularly and often include treasure hunts, secret missions, and mystery-solving challenges—all in a safe, timed environment.
