Indoor Play on the Northshore

We have updated this list as best we can for 2022 but please call ahead. Many restaurants are open but have not reopened their play areas due to covid concerns. 

We’ve reached the point of the summer where it’s hot. Really hot. Step outside and starting sweating immediately hot. You know what I’m talking about. And while my kids would be content to lie around watching videos all day I do like to keep them active and there’s only so many times we can visit the splash pad (if you’re looking for water fun we have a list right here).

So that leaves indoor play areas. If you are also looking for a cool place to play, here’s a list of all the places in our area:
