Activities for kids 1-5 years old

Activities in St George for Ages 1-5

I get asked about this age A LOT. So here are some parks, activities, and things to do for ages 1-5. 

In terms of classes, a majority only take kids 3+, but there are a select few that do mommy and me. I can’t find a class in town that allows 2 year olds to be by themselves (another question I get asked a lot). Any places that teach dance or tumbling please comment below! It was too hard to gather a list of them all for you and I didn’t want to leave any out.

••Parks – chosen for their toddler areas 

Vernon Worthen

Little Valley

Hidden Valley

Highland Park

Mathis Park

Cottonwood Cove

Firehouse Park

Thunder Junction (specifically the train)

Nisson Park

Boots Cox 

••Hikes – easy trails, small distance

Pioneer Park/Scouts Cave

Jenny’s Canyon

Pioneer Names

Red Reef

White Dome Nature Preserve

Petrified Sand Dunes

Sand Dunes (Snow Canyon)

Temple Quarry

Sandstone Quarry

Baby Elephant Arch

Anasazi Trail 

••Active

Snake Hollow – upper pump track best for smaller kids

House of Jump – toddler time twice a week

Children’s Museum

Red Cliffs Mall (fun “play” area)

Splashpads

Rosenbruch Wildlife Museum

Fiesta Fun (bowling, mini golf)

Laser Mania 

Carousel

••Classes

Swimming Lessons – SHAC & Washington Rec Center 

Kindermusik – Roots for Kids

Library Story Time – also @popdrinks has storytime every other Wednesday 

Gymnastics – comment below where you go! 

Yoga – @behotyoga has “pretzel class”

Dance – comment below where you go! 

Tumbling – comment below where you go! 

Soccer (3-5) – Ivins, StG, Washington, SUSA

Baseball (3-5) – Ivins, StG, Washington

Basketball (3-5) – Ivins, StG, Washington

Tell me what else I’m missing too! It was a very broad list to try to bring together. This is my thrive age as both my kids are in this category, but if you’re really struggling on what to do – JUST GET OUTSIDE – and the rest will figure itself out 🙃

    We love Diamond Talent and Westside Studio for dance – specifically tap and ballet. We have a 4YO who has been going for a little over a year now. Amazing and kind teachers and fun class environments.
