Cool PlacesTO
STAY
WARM
With the colder weather in The Valley, our kids are spending less time outdoors and more time
inside. Let’s be honest here—we’re all tired of being cooped up in the house. You may be more
over it than the kids! Trying to be their number one source of entertainment day after day gets
old; we can only make so many crafts and bake so much before we are all over it. So we’ve
compiled a list of cool places to keep warm (and entertain the kiddos). You may have forgotten
these places exist!
CHATTAHOOCHEE VALLEY LIBRARIES: Our local
libraries are a great place to keep the kids busy for free!
Each library has a book full of engaging STEAM kit rentals,
plus events, activities and movies! Check their website
for a full listing of happenings.
CHICKFILA: All local Chick-fil-As are equipped with a
play place for little kids to climb, free!
BURGER KING: Bradley Park Drive & Manchester Expressway
locations have large indoor play places for your
child to climb, crawl and slide the day away, free!
COLUMBUS MUSEUM: This free museum has an interactive
space for children and educational exhibits for
all ages.
NATIONAL INFANTRY MUSEUM: Voted the best free
museum in the country, the NIM offers immersive exhibits,
a giant theater showing documentaries and often
holiday kids camps.
LAUNCH TRAMPOLINE PARK: Launch recently
added a Ninja course and battle pit. They also offer an
arcade, play place and of course a massive trampoline
playground. Check out their Facebook for events with
discounted jump passes!
TREADSTONE CLIMBING: Go on a climbing adventure
at Columbus’s only indoor climbing gym.
CHUCKECHEESE: Tons of games for toddlers to big
kids! Though you may think an hour at Chuck-e-Cheese
will empty your wallet, there are tons of coupons on
their website to save on playtime and meals.
COCACOLA SPACE & SCIENCE CENTER: Equipped
with interactive exhibits and an Omnisphere theater,
CCSSC is an educational and fun experience for all ages.
COLUMBUS AQUATIC CENTER: Indoor swimming in
January! Need we say more?!
BARE WARE POTTERY: This pottery studio has no studio
fees! Paint a small piece for as low as $10!
COLUMBUS ICE RINK: While not exactly the best
place to “keep warm,” the ice rink offers numerous public
skating events. Ice skating is a strenuous activity to
burn energy!
HOLLYWOOD CONNECTION: Stop by this indoor activity
center for roller skating, laser tag, an arcade and
mini golf.
AMC MOVIE THEATRES: Save at the show! Our local
theatres offer $5 tickets on Tuesdays, plus afternoon
movies are at a discounted rate.

alley, laser tag, arcade and more! Visit their website

Sunday mornings.
