Open gyms will give your children the indoor play space to run, jump, climb, flip, and balance all with the comfort of mats and foam pits. Many locations offer tot-friendly sessions for safety of your tiniest tumblers, and also have options for your school-aged kiddos, too.
This is a great list to bookmark for bad weather days when you just can’t stay home any longer. Before you go, check websites for any additional requirements such as waivers or payment options. Many only accept cash, so plan ahead.
