10 of the best indoor play spaces in the D.C. area
"When you're stuck at home with kids on damp, drizzly days, the opening lines of "The Cat in the Hat" can feel all too real. "The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play. So we sat in the house all that cold, cold, wet day." If you want to avoid the kind of Seussian chaos that unfolded at Sally's house - "We saw ALL the things fall!" - you might want to find a way to get out of the house."
"Up! Ultimate Adventure Park Rock climbing never looked as fun as it does at Up! Ultimate Adventure Park, where kids slip into harnesses and clamber up 36 artistic climbing walls, each with a different theme. The handholds are molded into appealing shapes - like a cartoony Mount Rushmore and yarn-batting kittens - and the designs go all the way up to the Ashburn facility's 33-foot ceilings."
On damp, drizzly days, parents can take children to indoor play spaces in the D.C. area to avoid staying at home. Several new or recently opened venues provide weatherproof entertainment that keeps kids occupied for hours. Local parenting influencers recommend tried-and-true indoor retreats for families seeking structured play and active adventures. Up! Ultimate Adventure Park in Ashburn features 36 themed climbing walls with molded handholds shaped like Mount Rushmore and yarn-batting kittens and designs that reach 33-foot ceilings. The facility uses auto belays and employs "drill specialists" to assist younger climbers; harnesses are also used on a ropes course with balance beams and a soaring zip line. Parents can climb too, and attractions such as steep "extreme slides" add family-friendly thrills.
