Play Time is a Part of Life.
These months can be gray and gloomy with scattered spring showers sure to be ahead. Indoor play is a necessity! Play time is an essential part of growing up and indoor play is vital in a dreary state like Michigan. It’s important we keep our children active even when it’s too cold to play outside.
Play time is a part of life, and Michigan offers a long season cooped up indoors. Detroit Mom is here to deliver a comprehensive resource list of indoor play adventures in and around the Detroit area, including over 100 indoor play areas, indoor water parks, open gyms, and other indoor play activities to make those snow days and rain showers just a little more interesting for them and a lot more sanity-saving for mom!
