The shops at Freshfields Village aren’t just for mom and dad. Make it a day for the whole family with a variety of kid-friendly stores, festivals and activities your little ones will love. Our center is located in close proximity to the beach, so you can enjoy the sun, sand, and salt and then come relax in the Village! Here are five ideas for planning your next family-friendly adventure.
Go on a Shopping Spree
Shop stylish clothes for kids at Sugar Snap Pea, offering boys and girls fashion clothing from infant to tween. Next, head over to Wonder Works, Freshfields Village’s locally-owned and operated toy emporium.

Round out your shopping spree with a trip to vineyard vines get spring break ready! With items that’ll take you from the beach to the boat and everywhere in between, they have you covered.
Stay Active
Just like the Energizer Bunny, kids have nearly inexhaustible energy, and keeping them entertained for a day out can be a challenge. Fortunately, there is plenty of space for children to run and play at Freshfields Village. Grab a frisbee, football or other outdoor game at SeaCoast Sports and Outfitters and hit the Village Green in the middle of the village for a fun-filled afternoon.

Adults can sit and socialize, while the kids play and make new friends. Eat an early dinner and then stop for ice cream at Ben & Jerry’s before heading over to the Village Green. Don’t forget to bring a chair or blanket. The Summer Music on the Green series returns with a special two-night event on May 24th and 25th and continues every Friday evening from June through August.
