Thrilling indoor playgrounds and activities
When you need a break from the rain, book a spot at one of these indoor options.
- Indoor playgrounds for days: This list includes so many indoor play ideas you’ll have a new spot for every day of winter break!
- Outside-the-box indoor activities: Go beyond indoor playgrounds with a swim in an indoor pool, a round of mini golf, or a day at a museum. If you’re in the South Sound, we have you covered with gymnastics, pottery, bowling and even princess parties.
- The largest children’s museum in Washington: Beloved kiddie destination Imagine Children’s Museum’s expansion made it the largest in the state. You gotta go. Other children’s museums around the region deliver on rainy days and every day, too.
- Mind-bending illusions: Nothing is what it seems at Museum of Illusions, a new spot in downtown Seattle that has interactive exhibits.
