Kokomo Kids Eat
Kid’s Meal from Mancino’s Pizza and Grinders
3700 S. Reed Road, Kokomo, IN 46902
(765) 457-1800
We ordered lunch from Mancino’s for the first time in Kokomo and were excited to see the expansive menu options. They share how to order your items made gluten-free easily on the menu if that’s something your family desires/needs. We are pasta lovers so my oldest chose to order the baked spaghetti kids meal and my youngest went with the pepperoni pizza bread kids meal. Baked chicken bites and a quarter grinder are the other kid’s meal options offered. They struggled to choose between a cookie or chips, but the cookies were chosen to add a special treat. The kids’ menu at Mancino’s is for kids 0-10 years old and also includes a kid’s drink. Stop by and give it a try! Check out the website for a full menu.

This weekend is your last chance to enjoy The Frozen Sandlot with your kids. Public skate is available all weekend until the final day on Sunday, Jan. 7. Whether you are an experienced skater or not, this is a fun local activity you can do for a low cost. Did you know that The Frozen Sandlot is operated by and supports the local nonprofit Bridges Outreach? This is the sixth season for The Frozen Sandlot, and if you don’t visit soon you’ll have to wait until next season beginning in November 2024.
