5 Indoor Sports for Families to Try This Winter

Sometimes the cold and wet months of winter feel like the longest of the year — especially when rain, wind, snow or darkness keep you cooped up at home with youngsters needing to burn off energy. And let’s be honest — we grown-ups can fall prey to the sedentary foul-weather funk, forgoing a run or walk and opting for the comfy couch when the scene outside the windows is less than inviting.

Well, toss the cold, wet and darkness excuses aside. It’s time to grab the kiddos, get out of the house and work up some dry, warm, active family fun — and we don’t mean bringing them to a jungle gym while you rest on a bench! We’ve scouted the greater Seattle area for indoor family activities: gyms, classes and studios where moms and dads can jump in and get moving right alongside their offspring.

Whether it’s target practice or scaling heights, you’ll be setting up healthy habits, sharing laughs and making memories together — and that's on top off getting a family workout.
