Indoor Play Series: Let’s Get Physical

#1 – Indoor Playgrounds, Trampolines, and Inflatables

dsc01907ed

So here we are in this freezing January weather and although many of us grown-ups might be content to stay at home to avoid it…our kids are not!  They still have high energy and need to get out and play!

I’ve rounded up the very best places to “get physical” INDOORS and all the important details that will make it easier for you.  The hours shown are for “Public Open Play” times.  Some of the venues have varied hours on weekends due to holding birthday parties but check out their website or call them because they do like to open to the public when they don’t have any scheduled.  You can click on the name of each business to link directly to their website.  With all these choices, I hope you’ll find some favorites where your kids can get their wiggles out while staying warm and dry!

DON’T FORGET TO BRING SOCKS!  Your kids will not be able to play without them.

P.S. A majority of these places offer discounted prices when you pay for several play sessions in advance and several of them have coupons available in the Entertainment Book.

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
