The Kids Are Getting Ansy!
The chilly weather might force your little ones indoors, but they don’t have to be confined to your home all winter long. I know that even I sometimes turn into a hermit when the winter time rolls around! After you’ve watched Peppa Pig and Mickey Mouse for the umpteenth time and your kids are climbing the walls, get up and out with our list of the 5 best indoor play destinations in Nassau County. Most of these places are affordable and easy to access.
Top 5 Places To Visit:
Bounce U — Farmingdale
Bounce U franchises have been popping up all over in recent years, and there are several on Long Island. Each has slightly different hours, programs, and rates, so check the website for details. Times and days for open-bounce sessions vary. Reservations are required and should be made as far in advance as possible, especially for the popular family bounce nights and cosmic bounce sessions for kids of all ages.
Once Upon A Treetop– Plainview
Once Upon a Treetop, Inc. is an interactive city designed for imaginations young and old! An ideal play space for children under eight, it is the largest imaginative indoor playground around! There is so much to do in their 8,200 square foot facility — play in a makeshift city, take an EDUCATIONAL and Fun Parent & Me class, participate in a SUPER SPECIAL themed event, shop in their awesome TOY BOUTIQUE. I recently took my son and he loved it so much that we ended up spending 4 hours there!
Cup O’Fun Cafe — Valley Stream
Kids can climb their way up the rock wall, jump in the bounce house castle, play dress-up, build with Legos, and interact with each other in a virtual 3D world. The multilevel climbing structure has plenty of slides and tunnels to keep your little ones entertained for hours. Adults and kids can take a break and enjoy a drink or snack at the cafe for when hunger strikes.
Kiddie Playland — Williston Park
Grown-ups will appreciate this clean and eco-friendly play space, and kids will enjoy everything from the wooden climber to the arts-and-crafts activities and pretend play areas. Visitors are encouraged to play, learn, and discover new things together in this bright and inviting space that was designed and is run by two teachers.

Long Island Children’s Museum — Garden City

Climb It offers two stories of crawling and climbing adventures. The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday 10am to 5pm and memberships are available.

So fret not! Get your kids out of the house and have some fun!
It’s SO hot here in Brisbane, Australia right now. Indoor playgrounds are the key!!
My kids love places like that. We used to go to one locally all the time.
Love there are so many indoor playground and it is great especially when the weather is too cold or raining outside. Long Island Children’s Museum — Garden City look like a great place to play and learn.
Thank you so much for sharing! This is awesome to know as I live in Suffolk County and am always looking for new things to do with the kids. Awesome and hello neighbor 🙂
Wow these places seems a very fun and exciting place for kids. Thank you so much for sharing!
Amazing places to go with kids especially when the weather is too cold, wet, or hot outside. Kids love to explore and play in different and stimulating places. Awesome indoor playgrounds!
Such a great resource for families living or visiting the area
It’s always nice knowing where all the best playgrounds are located! I have too many kids to NOT know this info! ha!
These look like very fun places for kids. I know my son would enjoy!
I’m waiting for a Bouncy House where the kids go in their door, and the adults go in their own Bouncy House. I’m not joking! 🙂
These look like tons of fun! In my previous career life I worked with children and being able to have a place to go when the weather wasn’t cooperating was a real life-saver.
Wow! Such a great place to visit. Kids would be enjoying and love this place! Thanks for sharing ♥
These are some great indoor activities for energy burst children. These indoor playgrounds look more good in dreary winter weather.
Very nice! I’m sure kids will have a great time playing here.
I live in TN, but couldn’t stop reading this because it was so much fun. Luckily, we have a couple of these franchises here.
This is a great idea for the winter time, it allows kids to have exercise and socialize during those colder months!
These look like such fun places to take kids. I wish we has some indoor playgrounds where we live. I am sure they are helpful when the weather is bad so that kids can run off energy.
These in door play areas are great for kids to release energy for when weather is bad.
I wish these had been around when I was a kid. It would have been nice to have indoor places to play when it was too cold to go outside.
All of these are awesome locations! Back home in Massachusetts, we have various versions of each of these but these look like a blast.
This is an amazing playground for kids and they will definitely enjoy. Thanks for sharing.
Indoor playgrounds are very helpful for many Moms to keep their babies occupied while they do their chores. And its a good way for kids to meet new friends!
I don’t have children myself, but will share this post with a few of my friends who do – I am sure they’d appreciate it 🙂 x
