In and around the community there are more things to do with your kids than you may have ever thought imaginable. Here you&#8217;ll find a list of some of the most popular activities and entertainment options for the youngest residents.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6>Outdoor Activities for Kids in Centerra and Beyond<\/h6>\n<p><strong>High Plains Environmental Center<\/strong><br \/>\nThe living laboratory is sure to amaze kids of all ages. Located within Centerra, there are acres of wetlands and nature to discover as well as educational activities led by the center&#8217;s resident environmentalists. As far as environmental awareness and conservation, it&#8217;s one of the most inspiring kids activities in Colorado.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benson Sculpture Park<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are lots of nature-related things to do with kids in Colorado, but there are also a number of culturally inspired pastimes as well. Taking a trip to Benson Sculpture Park is a relaxing way to spend an afternoon with the entire family. Kids will have fun exploring the dozens of outdoor artworks in the permanent collection as well as work from featured artists, which change every year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chapungu Sculpture Park<\/strong><br \/>\nAnother unique outdoor art experience in Centerra can be had at the Chapunga Sculpture Park. This park features Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture and is the most significant collection of its kind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boyd Lake State Park<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you have any water babies they&#8217;ll have no problem finding ways to entertain themselves all day long at Boyd Lake State Park.

Sweetheart Lanes is a favorite among many residents both young and old. While kids are sure to get a kick out of the cosmic bowl nights, but there&#8217;s plenty of fun to be had any day of the week.<\/p>\n<p>Add the Chilsen Recreation Center, City of Loveland facility<br \/>\nAdd youth sports leagues<br \/>\nMoving to Centerra or want more local information?
