Lutz’s best family fun: The world’s largest indoor trampoline park & more

It’s easy to settle into routines. The same playground, the usual Saturday errands, the predictable after-school activities. You pass by familiar places without a second thought. But what if you took a fresh look? What if you explored Lutz like a visitor—finding new experiences, uncovering hidden gems, and turning every weekend into something worth remembering?

Lutz is packed with adventure. From laugh-until-your-belly-hurts-fun at Flying Squirrel—the world’s largest indoor trampoline park—to scenic parks, nature trails, and unexpected local gems, there’s more here than you think.

 

1. Flying Squirrel Lutz

Flying Squirrel is the world’s largest indoor trampoline park. It’s also an adrenaline factory.

Wall-to-wall trampolines stretching in every direction. Slam-dunk hoops that invite even the smallest jumpers to fly. A zipline built for young thrill seekers. Indoor rock climbing, trampoline dodgeball and an adventure soft playground—no scraped knees or bruised appendages here. Parents watching from the sidelines…until they can’t resist any longer.

And when energy runs out? The arcade awaits and the café fuels round two.

2. Lake Park

Would you drive 30 minutes to a scenic lake with walking trails, fishing spots, and open green space? Of course. So why not take advantage of Lake Park—right here in Lutz?

• Shaded trails perfect for family walks and bike rides
• Fishing spots where you can try your luck with the kids
• BMX track and disc golf course for an active day out

Instead of scrolling for “family-friendly things to do near me,” make this spot your next adventure.

 

3. Nye Park

Every town has a neighborhood park, but how often do we actually take the time to enjoy them? Nye Park is a place for families to connect.

• A playground with slides, swings, and climbing structures
• Tennis and basketball courts for active families
• Open green spaces for impromptu family games and picnics

Treat it like a destination, not a backup plan. Grab snacks, bring a soccer ball, and make a day of it.

 

4. Lettuce Lake Park

Lettuce Lake Park feels like a hidden escape.

Boardwalk trails winding through Florida’s wild beauty. Birdwatching opportunities that turn an ordinary walk into an adventure. Kayak and canoe rentals for families looking to get on the water.

This park is a reminder that adventure doesn’t have to mean getting on a plane.

 

5. Tampa Premium Outlets

Yes, it’s technically a mall, but the Tampa Premium Outlets is also a place to stroll, grab a treat, and enjoy a day out.

Ice cream stops that feel like an event. Open-air strolling with room for kids to roam. Big-name stores mixed with hidden gems, making shopping feel less like an errand and more like an experience.

Instead of thinking of it as a shopping trip, treat it like a mini getaway.

 

6. Avila Golf & Country Club

Golf isn’t just for pros—it’s a family-friendly challenge.

Avila Golf & Country Club offers:

• Junior golf programs that turn kids into confident players
• A casual, fun way to introduce the sport to beginners
• A shared activity that could become a lifelong tradition

If you’ve never thought of golf as a family activity, maybe it’s time to start.

 

7. Lutz Branch Library

How often do you actually step inside the library? It’s a hub of free, fun, and family-friendly activities.

📖 Storytime sessions for little ones
🎲 Educational games and interactive activities
🎨 Creative workshops and events for families

You don’t have to buy an admission ticket or pack a snack bag—just walk in and see what’s happening.
