Snowy Day Indoor Activities

Snowy Day Indoor Activities

 

Being outside in the snow can only last so long, and soon the family is ready for some inside activities.  Here are some ideas for making family memories together indoors.

There are a number of indoor play centers, from those for the under 9 crowd, like Bellaboo’s to the ones with laser tag and axe-throwing, like Up Your Alley and Jak’s Warehouse, or the trampolines at Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park.

Winter is also a good time to visit Mascot Hall of Fame or Fair Oaks Farms.
