A one-year-old and an eleven-year-old do not want the same Saturday, and these are the guides with something specific for the youngest end. What that usually means here is a rule rather than an attraction. Slick City's slides start at four, but Junior Jungle, its soft-play zone, is for five and under. NRG holds Toddler Rush on Tuesday and Thursday mornings for guests seven and younger, which is open jump with the big kids out of the way. Rustad lets under-twos in free, the Fargo Air Museum does the same for four and under, and Gathered FM does not charge for a pre-crawling infant. At Hulbert's open swim a child under three needs an adult in the water with them, not on the bench. The two things most likely to end a trip early are both on this list as well: Romkey's splash pad runs only at sixty degrees and sunny or sixty-five and cloudy, and every guest at Slick City needs a signed waiver, spectators included.
