These Are the Best Indoor Fun Spaces in Northern Virginia

After a year of staying inside whenever possible, we can’t blame you for wanting to get out of the house every now and then, especially if you’ve got young kids to keep entertained. But as the seasons are changing and the chill in the air is settling in to stay a while, the options for fun-filled family activities might start to feel more limited.

You don’t have to stay cooped up just because the days of waterparks and strolls around the zoo are coming to a close! These indoor playgrounds, trampoline parks, and escape rooms can offer a fun-filled afternoon away from home, while still keeping you sheltered from the elements.
