14 Indoor Fun Ideas for The Whole Family

Space to run, jump, create, and compete is what dreams are made of for most kids, but how do you do that when your kids span several age ranges ?

Here are indoor play areas where you can take the whole family to play:

1. Defy gravity at Altitude Trampoline Park, Sky Zone Trampoline Park or Rebounderz Adventure Park.

2. Want to go beyond trampolines? Craig’s Cruisers has a massive buffet, go-karts and an indoor roller coaster, in addition to all the trampolines.

3. Paint, design and create at The Mud Room in Grand Rapids or Paint a Pot in Holland.

4. Kids can try a favorite outdoor summertime activity inside! Great Lakes Glow Golf features 18 holes of indoor miniature golf played under black lights.

5. BattleGR tactical games has laser tag, ax throwing and court sports for many ages (and even drinks for the grownups).

6. Do it all, virtually, at Amped Virtual Reality. Kids can become a space pirate, soar over the Grand Canyon, or follow a Velociraptor as she tries to survive on her island.

7. Got a curious group? Try a scavenger hunt room at The Great Escape Room Grand Rapids, letting everyone use their own skills to solve the puzzle.

10. Allegan Event Center brings adventure to the indoor playground. Try a climbing wall or an indoor ropes course.

12. Explore one of the many engaging exhibits at the Grand Rapids Public Museum. Extend your visit with a stop at the planetarium and learn about constellations and distant planets.

13. Spend a whole day at a popular indoor play place — the Grand Rapids Children’s Museum. Make some noise on a whale drum, play at the train table, or steer a fire truck.
