Indoor Play for Families

Parents underrate town rec open-gym sessions, which are usually free or close to it for under-fives and run on weekday mornings. Paid indoor play venues fill the rainy-day backbone the rest of the time, with day passes or memberships and open-play hours that cluster on weekday mornings and weekend afternoons. Most paid venues top out at six, after which the same kid is too rough for the toddler space and too small for the climb structures. The age-cap window is shorter than it looks when you're staring at a pricing page.
