Indoor Play Spaces in Connecticut Open Now

When chilly weather keeps kids inside in Connecticut, they don't necessarily need to stay home. Many indoor play spaces have reopened under state guidelines and will keep little ones climbing, bouncing, jumping, and giggling on cold or wet days. For 2021, facilities have implemented enhanced cleaning procedures, social distancing protocols, and advance registration requirements, ensuring not only a fun day trip but increased safety. 

Look to our Connecticut Winter Fun Guide for more cabin fever cures, from snow tubing outings to dozens of outdoor winter activities to keep kids busy at home.

2021 note: Note that all facilities require guests to wear masks. While we are trying to promote safer activities that occur outdoors or with social distancing guidelines in place, please keep your family and others safe by always maintaining appropriate distance, too. If you arrive at an event that appears too crowded, try using the see all locations in this article or “nearby” search feature on our event calendar to find something else to do.
