December 22-23, 29-31: Celebrate Christmas Break at Burrow & Bloom’s Kids Village!
The presents have been unwrapped, the big Christmas dinner is over, and suddenly… the kids have a lot of extra energy and a lot of days left before school starts back.
Winter break is a magical time for family bonding, but let’s be honest: by December 26, “cabin fever” starts to set in. If you are looking for ways to keep your little ones active, imaginative, and screen-free during the final week of the year, we’ve got you covered.

Why a Visit to the Village is the Perfect “Reset”
After the high-stimulation of the holidays, many children benefit from a “gentle routine” and a safe space to burn off energy. Here is why a trip to Burrow & Bloom is the best post-Christmas activity:
-
Weather-Proof Fun: Birmingham winters can be unpredictable. Skip the freezing or wet playgrounds and let them run, jump, and climb in our climate-controlled, padded, and safe indoor village.
-
Screen-Free Imagination: While it’s tempting to lean on tablets during the break, screen-free play actually increases attention spans and fosters independent problem-solving. Our village is designed to ignite creativity through pretend play—no chargers required!
-
A Moment of Peace for Parents: Winter break can be exhausting for caregivers. At Burrow & Bloom, you can sit back and enjoy a moment of peace (and maybe a hot coffee or tea) while your kids play safely in a supervised environment.
-
Social Connection: Kids miss their school friends over the break. The village is a bustling hub where they can interact with peers, practice sharing, and make new friends in our community.
Other Local Favorites for the Week
