Meridian is Idaho's second city, Boise's western neighbour and one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, with Scentsy and Blue Cross of Idaho headquartered there. Roaring Springs waterpark, Wahooz and the Village at Meridian are the family fixtures; Settlers Park has a splash pad. Meridian Library District runs several branches.
Holiday events for kids in Meridian, 2026: tree lightings, light displays, Santa visits and gingerbread workshops, day by day.
25 children’s events are on in Meridian in the next seven days, read every night from the calendars of Meridian Library District (3 branches, 46 upcoming programmes). Library programmes are free. Museum and zoo events say “admission may apply”; check the venue for prices.
14 places to collect. Tap “I'm here” when you're at one and the stamp goes in your book; collect 5 and print the certificate.
Stamps live on your phone. Open your passport to see them all, print the certificate, or save them to your email.
Yes and no. Every event, time, address and link is open to anyone. An account only lets you save outings you plan to go to.
Each library and venue calendar is re-read every night, so a cancelled storytime disappears within a day. Times are shown in Meridian’s own time zone.
Babies and toddlers, preschoolers, early grades, tweens and teens. Pick an age range above to narrow the list; leave them all off to see everything.
