Hey, who says kids get to have all the fun? There’s plenty of things out there considered “kids' stuff” that, whether they like to admit it or not, adults absolutely love, too.
U/iStoleurvalorrecentlyaskedthe people of Reddit, “What is ‘for kids’ that you continue to thoroughly enjoy as an adult?” Hey, I learned a lot from reading these — and I bet you will, too:
1.“Playing with LEGO bricks.”
— uranium / The_Story_Builder
2.“Pokémon. Started withRedwhen I was 5 and haven’t stopped since. Doubt I ever will. If anything, my enjoyment of Pokémon is becoming more childlike.”
— uracil / The_Prezzy
3.“Animated movies in general. I can still enjoy them. When I’ve had a rough day or if I’m just feeling down, I can put on something wholesome, funny, or nostalgic, and it makes me feel better.”

4.“Going up the stairs on all fours will always be fun.”
— u / Curious - Kayleee
5.“Disney movies. I am a big, mean-looking, 40-year-old man. I drove to work listening to the soundtrack toMoana.”
— uracil / mkicon
6.“Goldfish. It’s hard to resist when my niece is having them for a snack. I make a big show about me being a shark and eating them just so I can have some.”

7.“According to my wife, ‘Wasting time playing that stupid Nintendo.’ It’s a PS5, and I’m lucky if I can spend two to three hours a week on it.”

8.“Playgrounds. Since becoming a dad, I can bring my kids to the playground and have fun with them on the slides, swings, and monkey bars. I wish there were public and free adult-sized playgrounds. It’d probably encourage us to get out a lot more. It feels like everything geared for adults nowadays charges admission — and it’s not cheap.”

9.“Naps. The older we get, the better they are!”
— u / aperson7780
10.“I still occasionally buy myself some Lucky Charms, especially when I can find the s’mores variety — it’s so good, but so, so bad for my teeth. I do try to stick to corn Chex and normal Cheerios most of the time, but it’s nice to treat yourself every so often.”

11.“I started watchingMighty Morphin Power Rangersin the ’90s and just never stopped. I keep up withSuper Sentai,the Japanese franchise that it’s based on, too.”
— u / IDoBelieveInGarys
12.“Chocolate chip pancakes. I was given grief by some in my family for getting them instead of more ‘adult’ options, like blueberry or regular pancakes — but why would I not want chocolate chip?”
— u / spencer4991
13.“Six Flags Over Texas and Hurricane Harbor. I am lucky enough to live less then a five-minute drive from the theme park. This is on purpose. I stopped going for a year because my mom was insinuating I was being a creep for going to the parks, but I finally realized, ‘I will always be the bad guy in someone’s story.’ I starting going back last month. At this point, I just don’t care anymore. I need to do what makes me happy.”

14.“Laughing at farts, mine or otherwise. Also, my girlfriend has some pipes and belches like a champ. I never fail to laugh.”
— u / PappaDukes
15.“Slime. I love buying fun slimes from small, independent shops. The scents, the textures, the concepts… all so wonderful. I have so much slime.”
— u / CatherineConstance
16.“My 55-year-old dad still lovesSpongeBob SquarePants. He’ll wake up on a Saturday morning and have his juice and breakfast while watching SpongeBob.”
— u / Hwetapple
17.“Avatar: The Last Airbender. It’s easily the best ‘all ages’ show I’ve ever seen, even if it was primarily made for kids. It’s fun and lighthearted, full of action, yet it still manages to cover dark topics like child abuse, broken families, and even genocide, but in ways kids can stomach. It somehow respects the viewer’s maturity level regardless of age.”
— u / Swordbreaker925
18.“Ice cream trucks. Why I gotta stand with kids to get a Sonic ice cream with gum ball eyes?”
— uranium / TheOwnerOfRaddit
19.“A 31-year-old dad here. I take my 3 and 1-year-olds to the pool for parent-tot swims. They LOVE watching me go down the waterslide. It just gives me an excuse to do it, haha.”
— u / murdoch92
20.“I have lots of adult coloring books with intricate details, but I prefer the toddler giant open-space coloring books that I now get to share with my kid. Way better! Also, crayons are better than colored pencils.”
