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.

8. Head to Pinball Land or Retro Electric Arcade and play cool 80s and 90s games on open play, all day long.

9. Get active and boogie down at Tarry Hall, Jumpin’ Jupiter Skate Center, or GR Skate and Event Center for some roller-skating fun.

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

11. If your kids love water play, Holland Aquatic Center will keep kids entertained with their splash pad, vortex pool and 150 foot water slide. Or splash around at Goldfish Swim School’s family swim time.

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.

14. Hop in the car and head to Portage to visit the Air Zoo Aerospace and Science Museum. Explore their hands-on learning opportunities and engaging exhibits.

Toddler Play Places

Toddlers bring energy and excitement to playtime, but they also have different needs in an indoor play area than preschool and elementary-aged kids.

Grand Rapids is booming with toddler activities! There are libraries, activity centers, gymnastics facilities and more that understand how to give toddlers a great experience.

GR Gymnastics open gym.

Big Kids Play Places

If you are trying to find kids play places to get your big kid out of the house, there are plenty of options to keep them entertained.

Craig’s Cruisers is one of the few kids play places where they can ride electric go-karts inside, as well as a ROLLER COASTER!

And if that isn’t enough, there is laser tag, bumper cars and a ninja course to keep your big kid entertained.

Looking for a little competition? Then check out Battle GR, the first e-sports gaming facility in Grand Rapids. While you are there, continue your competitive spirit with a game of laser tag or archery tag.

BattleGR has great instructors for every activity.

Kids of all ages love bowling. Bowl a few frames at one of these many local bowling centers: AMF Eastbrook Lanes, Clique Lanes, Hudsonville Lanes, Rockford Lanes, Spectrum Entertainment Complex, or Wengers Bowling Center.

Parents will enjoy a trip down memory lane at Pinball Land or Retro Electric Arcade, where you can challenge your kid to a video arcade game like Pac-Man or try your hand at one of several pinball machines.

Dave and Busters sports a variety of games that appeal to both little and big kids and yes, even adults.
