Near & Notable | Kid-friendly winter spots 🧸❄️
When the temps drop and outside play is off the table, having a few go-to indoor spots can save the day. This week’s Near & Notable is all about places around the Toledo area where kids can move, explore, and just be kids - even in the middle of winter.
A few local favorites worth checking out:
Imagination Station Toledo - Hands-on science, experiments, and interactive exhibits that keep curious minds busy for hours.
The Toledo Museum of Art – Free, creative space where kids can make, build, and explore through art.
DOT Playspace (Sylvania) - An inclusive indoor play space with sensory zones and imaginative play areas - great for a wide range of ages.
Lattes and Littles (Sylvania) - An indoor play café where little ones can explore and parents can relax. Reservations are required for play sessions.
Sky Zone Toledo - For kids who need to burn off energy - jumping, climbing, and lots of movement.
Funagin's Family Fun Center (Holland) - Roller skating, arcade games, and classic family fun.
Cold days don’t have to mean staying cooped up. These spots make it easy to get out of the house, switch things up, and turn an ordinary winter day into something fun!
