Whole Foods551

From an extensive selection of organic veggies, to the whole body section of natural soaps that kids love, Whole Foods offers something for everyone. The salad bar, deli, and bakery are a great places to get something to-go for your family's dinner.

Sample stations throughout the store enable hungry kids (and hungry parents) to graze while they shop.

The market sometimes hosts family events, including a community favorite, the market's annual Earth Day extravaganza.

Check out Whole Food's website, as well. It offers a Health & Wellness section that covers helpful topics like prenatal care and kids' nutrition.

As a special bonus, Whole Foods offers birthday parties for kids ages four and up. The 90-minute party packages include such selections as Pizza Pros, Build It & Break It, Gross Out Party, A Day at the Spa, and Barnyard (exact packages available depend on the location). Contact the events coordinator for details and reservations.
