The ‘90s kid summer continues. And we want to maintain our ‘90s mom energy by planning our days as little as possible. Our free indoor play guide gave you a list of places where you can just roll out of bed, load up the car, and head out. This list requires just a tiny bit more mental energy ahead of time. These play places may need registration, waivers, and a paid ticket. They cost anywhere from $6 to $42, but with the price tag comes options for full-body movement, hands-on creation, and make-believe. Exercise your kids’ bodies and minds at one of these spots.
Run, Jump, Climb
These indoor play places have almost everything a kid needs to get their wiggles out: ball pits to dive in, trampolines to jump on, ropes to climb, and slides to speed down. There are gymnastics places open for tumbling and bounce houses that kids can try out. Just give them the countdown: Ready, set, go!

They all cost money to play, but you’ll get a lot out of the experience (and it’ll be more than just killing a little time). Try something new and enjoy the present moment, because summer will end soon, but the memories will be with you forever.
