Toddler Activities in Hollywood, Florida
Hollywood Beach is a boardwalk, not a toddler itinerary. The Broadwalk is long, hot, and full of bikes. Use Hollywood’s inland parks and splash pads, or go early to a beach park that has restrooms and a short walk from the car. Downtown Hollywood can work for a stroller coffee if you stay off the weekend crush. Rainy days: indoor play toward Davie or the Fort Lauderdale museums, not a covered patio on the sand. Listings below are Hollywood proper so you are not mixing Hallandale and Dania without meaning to.

14 spots
Hollywood Beach Broadwalk & Charnow Park
Hollywood · South Broward
Paved, flat, car-free stroller cruising with a playground-splash-beach triple threat at the midpoint.
ArtsPark at Young Circle
Hollywood · South Broward
Evening concerts + playground + food trucks = a rare toddler-friendly 'night out' for parents on odd schedules.
T.Y. Park & Castaway Island
Hollywood · South Broward
The toddler lagoon at Castaway Island is one of the best little-kid water zones in the county.
Anne Kolb Nature Center
Hollywood · South Broward
Crabs on the boardwalk, fish tanks inside for rain escapes, and an elevator up the tower for a big view payoff with zero climbing.
Hollywood Boo Bash at ArtsPark
Hollywood · South Broward
Free early-evening park Halloween — do activities at 5pm, catch the 7pm fashion show, and skip the 8pm movie if bedtime is calling.
Hollywood Tree Lighting Ceremony
Hollywood · South Broward
Snow flurries and a sledding hill in South Florida — plus free Santa photos. Go early for crafts before the park fills up.
Slothy's Playhouse
Hollywood · South Broward
Small, clean, and calm — a good pick for younger toddlers who get lost in the mega-playgrounds.
Yellow Green Farmers Market
Hollywood · South Broward
A stroller-friendly sensory feast: colors, smells, samples, and music, all under shade cover so a hot morning stays doable.
West Lake Park Splash Pad
Hollywood · South Broward
Free splash pad + nature center combo: water play first, then air-conditioned aquariums when the sun peaks.
Dave & Buster's Hollywood
Hollywood · South Broward
The rainy-day teen pleaser — load a Power Card, set them loose, and everyone regroups over wings and milkshakes.
Hollywood Branch Library
Hollywood · South Broward
Free toddler story time with rhymes and movement — an easy, calm indoor stop in central Hollywood.
K1 Speed
Hollywood · South Broward
Same rule as Medley: karts are for bigger kids. Only bring a toddler if a sibling is racing and you can sit in the arcade.
Hollywood North Beach Park
Hollywood · South Broward
Beach plus a real playground in one stop, with shade on the park side. Easier with a stroller than the packed Broadwalk.
Holland Park
Hollywood · South Broward
A west-of-the-beach Hollywood stop when ArtsPark or the Broadwalk is packed. Confirm playground status on arrival — it is a neighborhood park, not a destination splash pad.
