Kid-friendly restaurant near Springfield: One 2 Five

One 2 Five Taproom: Sometimes getting outside is less about adventure and more about surviving the relentless energy of our littles. Enter One 2 Five Taproom, where you can feed the whole family delicious wood-fired pizzas and then let the children zoom around in this expansive, extremely safe and fenced-in yard. Designed with all ages in mind, this spot has rocking chairs facing the open yard, long tables for big groups, smaller tables, benches, and Adirondack chairs around firepits. You can also bring your own folding chairs. 

This is a dog-friendly patio!

They offer a nice assortment of lawn games to keep kids and adults entertained. If the weather turns on you, there’s also plenty of space inside.

Note: I first heard about this spot from local journalist Juliana Goodwin when it first opened, and we’ve been many times since. She recently wrote an amazing list of the Best Patios in and near Springfield for the Springfield Daily Citizen, and (spoiler) One 2 Five made the list alongside 11 others! Many of these spots are family-friendly. Check out the story to see a locator map to find patios near you.

I send a “things to do” email every Sunday night to tons of moms in the Springfield, Mo. area. It’s full of free, often outdoorsy ideas that always match the season we’re in.
