Cold and rainy days can get long for us mamas when the kids are stuck inside. When kids can’t release their energy, each minute can feel like an eternity. Luckily, Westchester County is full of awesome indoor playgrounds where kids can get that energy out. They are also great for birthday parties.
Although some play places can give moms anxiety when they get crowded with screaming little ones, most kids love them for the ability just to let loose and climb, run, and scream. They are great for families with siblings of different ages since equipment is often available for differing ages and abilities.
Here are a few of our favorites! Whether your child likes to climb, slide, or run around and have fun, there’s a great place just around the corner.
The Play Place {Elmsford}
This fun spot features climbing equipment, party rooms, indoor tennis and soccer fields, classes, and holiday camps. They also hold open hours for play on the play equipment and even have a parent’s night out! The Play Place is located in an executive park, so parking is readily available; just be sure to drive around to where the entrance is!
