When you’re stuck inside, what can you do to keep your children occupied? “We sometimes do play dates at someone’s house if it’s a super rainy day. In the summer we like to go to the library. That’s not really a place you can run off energy, but there are summer activities. I’ve gone to Flips in the past too,” says Anne Gaumer of New Market, MD. What kinds of things do parents and caregivers look for when it comes to finding indoor amenities? “I like to find a place that offers a variety of activities for a wide age range. Somewhere the kids won’t get bored after a few minutes of playing,” says Sean Robbins of New Market.
The Original Playhouse in New Market offers a host of creative indoor play opportunities. Kids get to use their imaginations to play dress up, make crafts and play in the water tanks. It keeps their minds engaged. Kids can bounce to their heart’s content at Backyard inflatables or Pump it Up. “We like to be active and if it’s an inside activity I like to make sure the place is clean especially in the winter months when all the sicknesses are going around,” says Lauren Nolke of New Market.
