Kid City and KidFit

Kid City and KidFit allow parents time to workout while their children participate in age appropriate fitness and learning activities. Using the Safe and Sound security system, KidFit and Kid City staff members attach an armband to each child and parent at every visit.  A child will only be released to parents or guardians with a matching armband.

  • Kid City is open to children ages 12 weeks – 6 years
  • KidFit is open to children ages 6 – 13 years
  • There is a two hour time limit per visit with a minimum of a three hour span between visits to both Kid City and KidFit.
  • Kid City and KidFit Snow Day – If Knox County has called a snow day, and the Fitness Center is opening late, Kid City and KidFit may have limited operating hours. Please call the Fitness Center for snow day operating hours.
