outdoor time

Time spent outside

Outdoor time is time spent outside, especially as a deliberate break from indoor activities.

The phrase often appears in contexts involving children, pets, or people whose routines keep them largely indoors: The kids need more outdoor time, She takes the dog out for his outdoor time every afternoon.

It implies fresh air and physical activity as beneficial counterweights to sedentary or screen-based existence.
