At Academy Sports + Outdoors, we make it easy to bring fun and imagination home. Our wide selection of ride-ons, kids’ bounce houses, swing sets, sports toys, skate shop gear, and playroom favorites offers something for every age. We focus on safety, durability, and affordability—so you can shop confidently for toys your kids will love. From backyard adventures to rainy-day play, Academy helps families create lasting memories through quality toys built for endless fun.
Before buying, measure your backyard and note any space limits. Swing sets and playsets come in different materials—metal, plastic, or wood—each with benefits. Metal sets are durable and weather-resistant, while wooden ones offer a natural look and strong support.
Consider your child’s age range and activity level. Younger kids enjoy smaller slides and swings, while older children prefer larger, multi-level playsets. Look for safety features like non-slip ladders, sturdy chains, and smooth edges.
When choosing a ride-on, always match the toy to your child’s age and coordination level. For toddlers, look for push or foot-powered ride-ons that help develop balance. For older kids, electric or pedal-powered options can add speed and excitement.
Safety is key. Make sure the toy includes stable wheels, sturdy construction, and protective features like seatbelts or handles. Consider your child’s favorite activities— outdoor adventurers may love ride-on trucks, while indoor riders may prefer smaller models for easy maneuvering.
Technology can be both fun and educational, so set the kiddos up with some electronic girls' and boys' toys they can use to explore the world around them. Youngsters will enjoy high-flying adventures navigating drones and other flying toys through the air, or they can host a race on land with remote-controlled cars, trucks, and figures that roll along the sidewalk or grass.
Regular maintenance helps toys last longer and stay safe. Clean ride-ons and bounce houses after each use with mild soap and water. Check for cracks, leaks, or loose parts before storing them away.
Keep outdoor toys in a dry, shaded area when not in use. Deflate bounce houses fully before folding and storing them. For smaller items like playroom toys, sandboxes, or water tables, make sure all parts are dry to prevent mold or damage.
