15 Spots for Tweens and Teens in Fargo-Moorhead

As children become tweens and teens, it is common for parents to take a backseat to friends. They start spending more and more time with peers and less with good old mom and dad. But this is a very important time for them to gain some independence and create their own personal support group.

And parents do still hold the job of chauffeuring tweens and teens from one hang out to the next. And while we are sad at times about not being included, at least we get some time in the car to connect.

Here are 15 places to drop off your tweens and teens in Fargo:
