Where to take stir-crazy kids when it’s too cold to play outside!

We have been reminded we live in Minnesota the last few weeks with some frigid days! If you have young children or grandkids they can reach a point when they (and you!) start bouncing off the walls and they need to get out and run around to use up their boundless energy.

Here are reminders of some of the great resources we have in the Twin Cities… all can occupy children for hours, and although most charge admission season passes are available for both parents and grandparents… a great investment that will pay for itself many times for your favorite destinations.

Adventure Peak, one of the largest indoor play structures in the country at Edinborough Park in Edina, a 1-acre indoor park… includes climbing structures for both school age children and toddlers, plus an open gym play area
