Indoor Play Spaces for Young Kids in the Baltimore-DC Area

If it is yucky outside, you and your kids are not going to want to go on a family adventure that involves braving the elements (ok, maybe you will… once). However, you also don’t want to go stir crazy inside either! Have no fear! I have scoped out a whole bunch of Indoor Play Spaces that are great for little kids, at least up through age 5. Check out these ideas below the next time the weather takes a turn for the worse. If the name of the play space is hyperlinked, that means I have written an in-depth review of it. If not, that means we have visited and I intend to write a review.. but for now, you will have to check out my pictures on Instagram!

I hope you check out one of these play spaces the next time the weather is sub-par. I would love to hear about your experience!
